Canva Print Bleed and Crop Marks

Set bleed and crop marks before exporting print PDF files. Use the related calculator to enter your own values, review formulas, copy results, and download guide templates. This page explains when the result applies, when it does not, and what official platform checks still matter.

Formula or rule

Use physical size × DPI for pixel requirements. For bleed, add bleed to both sides. For KDP covers, use back cover + spine + front cover + outside bleed.

Worked example

At 300 DPI, an 8 × 10 inch print needs 2400 × 3000 pixels. A 6 × 9 inch KDP interior with bleed becomes 6.125 × 9.25 inches.

Limits

Printer, paper, marketplace and software requirements vary. Use official platform templates as the final check.
