See which colours will print wrong.

Canva exports in RGB. Printers work in CMYK. Somewhere in between, your brightest colours quietly change — and you usually find out when the box arrives.

On screen → in print.
That neon green is not a colour a press can make. This is what it becomes.

What the app does

Press one button inside the Canva editor. It converts your design through a real print profile (ISO Coated v2 / FOGRA39 — the standard for coated stock) and shows you:

A risk score for the design
Exactly where the problem colours are, marked on your artwork
Side-by-side swatches — the colour on your screen, next to the colour the press will actually produce

When you're happy, export a print-ready CMYK PDF with 3 mm bleed and crop marks, ready to send to any print shop.

Who it's for

Etsy sellers, print-on-demand shops, event vendors and small businesses who design in Canva, send work to printers, and don't own Photoshop.

Honest about what this is. It's a warning system, not a colour-matching guarantee. Your printer's inks, paper and press will differ from the generic profile we use. It catches the obvious, expensive mistakes — the ones you'd otherwise discover from a box of 500 flyers. If colour accuracy really matters, always ask your printer for a proof.

Price

Checking your colours is free and unlimited. Print-ready PDF exports are free for the first 3 each month; after that, $5 for 10 exports, or $12/month for unlimited.
