JPEG
A commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images.
What is a JPEG in Canva?
JPEG, an acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group, is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. In Canva, a graphic design platform, a JPEG is one of the file formats you can choose when downloading or exporting your design.
When you choose to download your design as a JPEG in Canva, the platform compresses the image, reducing the file size. This makes it easier to share or upload online, but it may also result in a slight loss of image quality. JPEGs are ideal for complex images with lots of colors, such as photographs or detailed designs. However, they do not support transparency, so they're not the best choice if you need a transparent background.

How to convert a Canva file to JPEG?

From the dropdown menu, select the "JPEG" option. After selecting JPEG, click on the "Download" button again. Your Canva file will then start downloading as a JPEG file.

Why is my Canva download not in JPEG format?
Canva allows you to download your designs in various formats, including JPEG. However, if your download is not in JPEG format, it could be due to the settings you chose during the download process. When you click on the "Download" button, a dropdown menu appears where you can select the type of file you want. If you didn't select JPEG, Canva might have downloaded your design in a different format.
Another reason could be a glitch or error in the system. If you selected JPEG but your download is in a different format, try downloading the design again. If the problem persists, it might be worth reaching out to Canva's customer support for assistance. Remember to always check your download settings before saving your design to ensure you're getting the correct file type.
