Question

Hi All, Does anyone use Canva for Display ad creation? I've made a few ads that look great, but once downloaded they seem to look really blurry if I'm staying within Google's sizes. Any way around this for clear ads?  

Answer 1

I double the recommended size and then Google compresses it when uploaded

Comments

Maybe this is only available when doubling? I made my ads ten times the size in order to get the quality I expect. The ads platform immediately denies them

@jardiniere What was the reason for denying? Wrong pixel size or were the files too large?  

---

@jardiniere I’m pretty sure I read it can only be double the size. I made all mine double and they were accepted.  

Answer 2

99. 9%. The rest we do in PS.

I moved the file over to PS and resized it and it still came out blurry. What is your process?  

---

@jardiniere can you send me an example? I’ve never had this happen.

@kehoe48 I sent you a message. I must be missing some setting when exporting. But Im not sure what

Answer 3

Are you making sure you're using the custom sizing and not a template?  

Comments

Yes. The Ad looks great on Canva's platform but as soon as i download and open the file. It looks really blurry

Answer 4

Don’t download it. Make a screenshot

Answer 5

Download as print PDF. It’s higher quality and then save it as an image file like png or jpeg after.  

Answer 6

What size are you setting it at? It sounds like you are making it too small.  

Answer 7

Do you have a PRO account on Canva?  

Comments

@vulcanism Yes I do. That's why I'm so disappointed with blurry downloads

Answer 8

Canva pro is a very useful tool
