How to print Canva designs with WTTB

Great print starts with a spark of creativity and Canva is where that magic begins. But turning your digital design into something real? That's where the real print sorcery happens.

Before your wall art, planners or postcards leap off the screen and onto paper, your file needs the right spell work: bleed settings, crop marks, CMYK colour... the kind of behind-the-scenes wizardry that makes all the difference when it comes to professional print.

To help, we've brewed up a quick step-by-step video tutorial that walks you through how to export your Canva design for printing with WTTB. It's simple, speedy and ensures your finished product looks exactly as you imagined.

How to Visualise Your Print

Understanding paper sizes can feel like a math test you didn't study for. While "A4" is a household name, trying to picture an A0 poster versus an A2 print is a different story when you’re staring at a flat computer screen.

The easiest way to understand "A" sizes is the Rule of Halves. Every time you go up a number, the surface area is exactly halved.

• A0 is the largest size
• Fold an A0 in half, and you get A1
• Fold an A4 in half, and you get an A5

In the visual guide provided, you can see how these sizes compare to a 6ft (183cm) person.

• An A0 poster reaches roughly from a person’s waist to their head
• An A4 sheet is roughly the size of a standard clipboard
• Business cards (85x55mm) are designed to fit perfectly in a wallet or palm

Still unsure which size is right for your space?

Grab a measuring tape and mark out the dimensions on your wall with masking tape, it's the best way to "try before you buy".

Haus of Holbein – Typography Prints

"My Etsy shop started as a side hustle, so I needed printing to feel simple and manageable. Using Canva with WTTB worked really well for me because WTTB’s blank templates made it easy to design everything at the right size. It took away the guesswork and gave me more confidence that what I created in Canva would print correctly.

It also suits the way I run my shop. The low quantities and fast turnaround times mean I can order what I need, when I need it, for events, markets and new product launches. As someone still growing the business, that flexibility has made printing feel much more manageable".

Tickled Prints – Personalised Wall Art

"Tickled Prints is my personalised wall art business, specialising in bold quote designs that stand out. Creating artwork that feels high quality and consistent is really important to me, especially as I want customers to keep coming back for new pieces.

WTTB has been a big part of helping me achieve that. Their downloadable Canva checklist has become something I use every time I design, making it easy to check that everything is set up properly before sending it to print. Canva helps me create the designs, but WTTB gives me the confidence that the final prints will be sharp, professional and something my customers will love to order again".

All Wrapped Up – Bespoke Wrapping Paper

"All Wrapped Up is my passion project, where I sell custom wrapping paper sheets designed to make gifts feel more personal and unique. I wanted the finished product to look professional, so finding a printer that could bring my designs to life properly was a really important part of the process.

WTTB has played a big role in that. Their video tutorials were clear and easy to follow, which helped me make sure my designs were set up properly and would look just as good in print as they did on screen. Canva helped me create the designs, but WTTB is what turned them into a polished final product that felt ready to sell".
