We have more and more people using Canva and of course, most don't pay for anything. Send us a low res png, no bleeds and expect perfection. I can't tell you how many times I've received a request to print a "postcard" or similar from a file that is either a ridiculously small or ridiculously large - like an odd sized poster or somethig - NOTHING like the size they are asking for!The problem with Canva and many other online logo websites is that the customer is not willing to fork over the $ to pay the full version. Canva does allow you to produce a vector version if you pay for the subscription. They go to these sites to get a "preview" or low res version of their logo and then expect you as the provider to recreate the artwork. Either way they end up paying. The only good thing is you don't have to fool around with figuring out the design they like. They have already picked it out and won't be hovering over your computer or require a bunch of proofs until they are satisfied
Yes but Canva don't give correct bleeds and crops. Just "throw them in" - can't technically correctly save with crops and bleeds if the file isn't designed that way. It's a workaround.Actually it is possible to save a vector-based version of Canva documents using the free version. You have to export the document as a "PDF for Print."
I see that but it only works with the free layout designs. The ones with the $ allow you to edit but not save a pdf for print, and the ones marked Pro won't even allow you to edit the design. Unless I am missing it somewhere. The $ category files are watermarked images when I have tried this before.Actually it is possible to save a vector-based version of Canva documents using the free version.
