Download your design

  1. Go to
    Share, then select
    Download.
  2. Choose a file type for your download. Learn more about the supported download file types.
  3. Adjust the Size and Quality.
  4. Toggle Save download settings on if you want to save the download settings. Note: Advanced Settings will only be available when you’re downloading your design as PDF.
  5. If your design has multiple pages, choose between:
    • All - to download the entire design.
    • This Page - to download just the page you're viewing
    • Custom - to download specific pages
  6. Select Download.

If your design has premium elements, Select the

More icon (beside Try Canva for Pro/Teams for free) and then on Purchase Pro Content License. Select your preferred payment method and select Pay and Download to finish.

More download options are available to Canva Pro, Canva Teams, Canva Business, Canva Education, and Canva for Nonprofits users, including downloading a CMYK PDF.

You can find your purchased elements in your Purchased folder. All purchases grant you a Pro Content License

The Download button says Fix (number) issue

What can cause this

There’s something that needs to be fixed before Canva can download your design. For example, you may have hit a daily download limit, or a video/image is still uploading.

What to do

  1. Open to see what needs fixing.
  2. Fix the issue (for example, wait for uploads to finish).
  3. Once it’s resolved, select
    Download again.

I see a Tip or Warning at the bottom of the download menu.

What can cause this

Canva found something you may want to review before downloading. Tips share helpful info, while Warnings flag something that could affect the quality or layout of your download.

What to do

  1. Review the tip or warning and the suggested action.
  2. Make the suggested changes or select
    Download to continue without making changes.

I’m having trouble downloading my design

If you’re having trouble downloading your design, see I can’t download my design or video or Lines, texts, or images moved during download.

Why am I asked to pay before downloading a design?

If you’re asked to pay before downloading a design, your design might have premium or Pro elements. If you’re using Canva for free, you can either purchase a Pro Content license, upgrade to a paid plan, or download a watermarked draft. If you’re on Pro, Teams, Business, Education, or Nonprofits, you won’t be asked to pay since element licenses are already included in your plan.

Can I download only specific pages or parts of my design?

Yes, you can download specific pages or parts of your design. If you want to download specific pages only, make sure to select them from the download prompt. If you want to download specific parts of your design, learn more about downloading a selection in your design.

Are there limitations on downloads based on my Canva plan?

Some download options are limited only to Pro, Teams, Business, Education, or Nonprofit plans. These download options include bulk downloading, downloading a compressed file, downloading with a transparent background, downloading your design as an SVG, and many others.

Otherwise, you can download your design as many times as needed.

Can I save my download settings?

Yes, you can save your preferred download settings, such as file type and supported options. They automatically apply to new designs of the same type on your current device.
