Compatibility Notes
Canva officially supports importing PDF files and converting them into editable Canva designs. PDF imports are subject to limits including up to 500 pages and 300 MB. Conversion is not always fully faithful: fonts may be substituted, some elements may remain flattened or become difficult to edit, and complex transparency, masks, patterns or effects may change during import.
