How Do I Increase Resolution in Canva?

Canva is an online graphic design platform used to create a wide range of visual content such as logos, posters, social media graphics and website images. With Canva, you can also resize, crop and edit images to create the exact look you're aiming for.

Can I Increase Resolution in Canva on the free plan?

That said, it's important to remember that the free version of Canva does not allow you to increase resolution. This means that if you want to increase the resolution of an image, you will need to upgrade to the Pro plan.

So, how do you increase resolution in Canva? 

At this point you have two alternatives: first one you could probably guess by now - just buy a subscription. 

Second one is free but slightly more complicated:
1. You have to open your file and select all the existing layers including the background.
2. You have to copy them.
3. Paste them in a new file that's the resolution you want your final design to be.
4. While being selected hold shift and drag all your layers until the new file looks exactly like the old design.
5. Export your design with a bigger resolution.

Conclusion

Increasing resolution in Canva is a simple process if you have the Pro plan. If not you will have to pretty much create a new file with a bigger resolution and move all your layers while scaling them up. After that you'll just export them like with any other Canva template.
