Creating your own graphics in Canva
Creating your own designs on Canva is super simple! They have a plethora of templates to choose from or inspire your design. We do not suggest using the preset template sizes for social media because they design them to the exact size specifications and will come out blurry when posting on the internet. Please see the guide below for sizing suggestions when creating original designs.
