Resize designs and size limits

Use Magic Resize to resize your designs to other sizes or dimensions. In this article, we’ll cover resizing designs, the size limits for resizing, and a workaround to dimensions outside the size limits.

If you selected Copy & resize, you’ll find the copy in the same folder as the original design. If you selected multiple sizes, we’ll save them in a new folder. You’ll see the folder name on the resize confirmation message.

Save time by resizing your design to multiple formats at once. Bundles group common document types, like a set of social media posts or vertical videos.

You can also customize these bundles by selecting or deselecting the formats you need. Here’s how:

Resize a single page using the Edit Page panel without affecting the rest of your design.

Scaling down won’t create a design in your target size, but you’ll get the same proportion.

1. In the Custom size fields, enter your target dimensions. It’s okay if they turn red.
2. Next to the Custom size fields, select
   Lock the aspect ratio.
3. Refer to the dimension limits, and edit one of the Custom size fields to a value that’s within the size limits. Because you locked the aspect ratio, the other value will update automatically in proportion to your original target dimensions.
4. Once done, download your design in PNG format from 0.5 up to 3.125 times its size.

Undo design resize through Version history. This will only work if you resized the design directly and did not make a copy.

• You can resize up to 50 designs at once
• You can select up to 5 new sizes per design
• Maximum of 250 total resized outputs per bulk action
• If you hit the limit, try running another batch after the first one finishes.

If the Custom size fields turn red, it means the values are less than or exceed the size limits:

• Minimum dimensions: 40 x 40 px (pixels)
• Maximum dimensions: 8000 x 3125 px

If you can’t find Magic Resize even if you’re on Canva Pro, Canva Teams, Canva Education, or Canva for Nonprofits, then you’re probably designing on a Canva Doc. Magic Resize isn’t supported in Canva Docs yet, but you can use Magic Switch to transform your Canva Doc into a presentation.

• Your selection isn’t continuous - Resize only works with one block of cells. If you selected separate ranges (like A2:A5 and C2:C5), try selecting the full range instead — even if it includes blank cells.
• Some cells have more than one design link - Make sure each cell contains only one Canva design link. Remove extras before resizing.
• You don’t have access to one or more designs - You’ll only be able to resize designs you can edit. If access is missing, Canva will prompt you to request it.
• Your selection is empty or invalid - If your selection doesn’t include valid Canva links, you’ll be asked to update it before continuing.

If your selected column contains duplicate design links, you’ll see this message: “Cell range contains duplicate designs that will also be resized.” You can choose to remove duplicates before continuing, or resize them anyway.

When you resize a presentation to video dimensions, Canva converts each slide into its own video page instead of a single long video. This can be mistaken for a bug because the full timeline isn’t visible.
