What Canva Size Do You Need for a 24×36 Print?
A 24×36 inch print is 2:3. For 300 PPI raster output, the target is 7200×10800 pixels. Check Canva exports before selling or printing.
Choose the ratio first
A 24×36 print simplifies to 2:3. Keeping the design in that ratio prevents ratio-based cropping when printed at the full 24×36 size.
Pixel targets by density
At 300 PPI the raster target is 7200×10800 px; at 200 PPI it is 4800×7200 px; at 150 PPI it is 3600×5400 px.
Verify after Canva export
Do not rely only on a design label. Check the downloaded file’s actual dimensions and calculate effective PPI for 24×36 before promising that size.
24 × 36 is a 2:3 print
The shape is simple; the production requirement depends on PPI.
| Target PPI | Pixels for 24 × 36 |
|---|---|
| 300 | 7200 × 10800 |
| 240 | 5760 × 8640 |
| 200 | 4800 × 7200 |
| 150 | 3600 × 5400 |
Worked example: 3600 × 5400 export
A 3600 × 5400 px file matches 2:3 perfectly, but at 24 × 36 inches it delivers 150 effective PPI—not 300. To reach true 300 PPI at that size you need 7200 × 10800 pixels.
Before selling the 24 × 36 option
- Confirm the exported pixel dimensions, not only the Canva document label.
- Check fine text and textures at the intended enlargement.
- Do not claim 300 PPI at 24 × 36 unless the delivered pixels support it.
