Etsy Printable Sizes for Canva: Ratios, Pixels & Export

Start with the ratio family

If you plan to sell multiple wall-art ratios, design or adapt intentionally for each family rather than stretching one composition into incompatible shapes.

Check the exported file, not just the canvas label

For JPG or PNG delivery, the exported pixel dimensions determine effective PPI at the buyer’s chosen print size. WAT can read those dimensions locally.

PDF Print versus raster files

Canva describes PDF Print as its print-focused PDF option with 300 dpi output. For JPG/PNG wall-art bundles, still verify the exported pixels and intended print size directly.

Example Canva planning workflow

If your largest 2:3 offer is 24 × 36 inches at 300 PPI, the target raster dimensions are 7200 × 10800 px. If the design workflow cannot reliably export that raster size, plan the production route before advertising the size.

Offer	300-PPI target
12 × 18 in	3600 × 5400 px
20 × 30 in	6000 × 9000 px
24 × 36 in	7200 × 10800 px

Do not mix canvas size with print quality

A correctly shaped Canva design can still be too small in pixels for the print size you promise. Ratio answers “will it crop?”; pixel density answers “how much detail is available?”

Frequently asked questions

Can I make Etsy printable wall art in Canva?

Yes. The important part is choosing the intended ratio and verifying the exported dimensions and print quality for the sizes you advertise.

Does Canva export at 300 DPI?

Canva describes PDF Print as 300 dpi. Raster JPG/PNG workflows should be checked by their actual pixel dimensions at the intended print size.

What Canva size should I use for 24×36?

For a 2:3 raster master targeting 300 PPI, 24×36 inches corresponds to 7200×10800 pixels.
