How to Resize a Canva Template for Printing or Posting

Want your invitation as a printed 5x7 card and an Instagram story? Resizing a Canva design is quick — here's how to do it without starting over.

The easy way: start with the right size

Our templates come pre-sized for their purpose (most invitations are 5x7 inches, ideal for printing). If you only need that size, you're ready to print or share — no resizing needed.

Resizing with Canva

Canva's resize feature (available with Canva Pro) lets you copy a design into a new size in one click. If you have Pro, open your design, click Resize, choose your new dimensions, and Canva creates a copy.

No Pro? You can still adjust sizes:

• Create a new design in the size you need (e.g. 1080x1920 px for a story)
• Copy the elements from your template and paste them in
• Reposition to fit the new dimensions
