Method 1: Using Your Desktop Computer
Step 1: Visit the Canva website in a browser and sign in with your account details.
Step 2: Create a new design or open an existing one. Make necessary changes using a feature-rich Canva editor.
Step 3: Click File at the top > expand View settings > enable Show print bleed to avoid unnecessary white edges when printing.
Step 4: You can also enable margins to ensure that essential design elements aren’t cut when printed.
Step 5: Select Notes at the bottom > enter the notes you want to keep separate.
Step 6: Click the Share icon > hit Download.
Step 7: Change file type to PDF Print, which is ideal for printing. Pick any option.
- Crop marks and bleed: When downloading your design, add crop marks to mark where to cut the paper.
- Flatten PDF: This option converts your design with several layers into one and ensures that all your Canva design elements are printed.
- Includes notes: You can add notes (as shown in the fifth step) with your design and download them as PDF.
Step 8: Lastly, pick a relevant Color Profile. Canva recommends RGB for digital use and CMYK for professional printing.
After downloading your Canva design, print it with your printer using the steps below.
Step 9: Open the desktop File Explorer or Finder menu and launch the PDF file in your preferred editor.
Step 10: Press Ctrl + P (Windows) or Command + P (on Mac) to open the Print menu.
Step 11: Lastly, select your Printer > set Layout > color print > finally, click on Print.

Method 2: Using a Mobile Device
Canva uses the same interface on Android and iPhone. In the screenshots below, we will use Canva for iPhone. You can also use it on Android to print your designs.
Step 1: Download and launch Canva on your iPhone, then sign in with your account details.
Step 2: Select your existing design and make edits. Tap the Share icon at the top and tap Download, then select PDF Print, enable flatten PDF, include notes if you want, and tap Download.
Step 3: Canva generates the PDF file on your phone and opens the share sheet. Lastly, tap Print > select your printer > enable the Print in Color toggle > tweak media quality > select Print at the top right corner.
Sometimes, the printer does not show up on the iPhone. If you experience this, check our separate post to fix the problem.
