What is a PDF in Canva?
A PDF in Canva refers to a file format that you can export your Canva designs into. Canva is a graphic design platform that allows users to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, and other visual content. After creating your design, you can download it as a PDF file for easy sharing, printing, or saving for later use.
The PDF format is a popular choice because it maintains the layout and formatting of the design, ensuring that it appears the same way on all devices. Canva offers different types of PDF formats depending on your needs, such as PDF Print for high-quality prints and PDF Standard for smaller file size and online sharing.
