Hello,

I need help please, I want to create a design on Canva for printing in PNG format.
I would like a resolution of 300 dpi and CMYK mode.

Do you know what steps would be effective? By default, the dpi is set to 72 dpi; I found a solution to convert to 300 dpi (even though the ideal is to create the design directly in 300 dpi), but I can't find a solution for CMYK. I don't want to use a paid solution (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop...) do you have a free solution?

Thanks!!

    The PNG format does not support the CMYK color mode.

    Canva is a platform designed for web creation... you won't produce anything good for print...

    There are cheaper "Pro" alternatives to Adobe software... the Corel graphic suite for example, or the Affinity suite.

      I disagree with "you won't do anything good for printing"

      Personally, I made a flyer on Canva for my mother's restaurant with a professional printer and of course I used very standard colors, but it's a good temporary solution for a start; it leads to sales and everything.
