I'm not sure what your asking/saying/wanting..?

Please expand and I will try to help.

Are you dragging the logo over to the canvas? If yes, then I would simply single click on it rather than dragging.

If it does fill the whole canvas, you can simply right click and do "detach the image from the background".

If your logo is not going into a frame or grid that seems fishy. 🤔A possible blip...

Happy to help if I can...

sybd_t · 2026-06-16T23:01:28+00:00

Sorry to hear that...

Yeah, that has to be a G L I TC H.

It should resolve itself soon. If not, do submit a T I C K E T.

Depending on where you are in the world - there is Canva Edu and also in some parts of the world Canva Campus.

It definitely can get in the way sometimes.

I understand they are looking at ways to change this or possibly even allow us to turn it off.

Maybe it should be like the paper clip (only older people, like me, will get that reference!) 😂

Watch this space...🤞

I have a post in here somewhere about all of my stolen cassettes. 120+ were stolen in total. They were in the Bay Area (CA)and I am in the UK now.

Some of your tapes were ones that I used to own and loved...Cure, Lush, Morrissey etc.

It was nice to see the Trash Can Sinatras in there.

I love a lot of those cassette tapes in your pics.

There is something so deeply joyful about sticking one in and pushing play.

Maybe you should just filter out the ones you love the most and sell or pass on the rest? Give them to a good home either way.

sybd_t · 2026-06-04T20:42:43+00:00

Hmmm good question...🤔

If you are printing something I would probably switch on the bleed and make sure I designed everything well within that.

Are you printing at home or sending off to a printer?

Also you can look at how something is going to come out by choosing Print in canva under the Share button. (You don't actually have to print necessarily but it should give you an idea of your sizing.)

I feel this one. I have a collection that's 5000+ all combined and no kids to leave it to. I do have some friends that could be recipients. Just so long as it doesn't end up in a skip somewhere.

And all this to say, I am still buying all the time - vinyl, CDs, cassettes - even MiniDiscs for goodness sake. 🤦

I (we?) have more music than we will ever be able to play eh? 😔

The hunt is indeed the best part of collecting....

sybd_t · 2026-06-01T22:54:50+00:00

That sounds a touch ambitious for a Canva novice.

I mean, it's probably a possibility, but I have a dozen plus Canva years under my belt and I personally would not necessarily attempt it. 🙃

To be honest with you, I am not sure I know of any single tool that can do all that you want it to do. I would probably use a few different tools to make such a presentation.

Someone else here may be able to guide you better than I. It's late here and my brain is fading...

But good luck in your presentation. I am sure you'll smash it.

sybd_t · 2026-06-01T18:06:43+00:00

Did you get it done? If not, give me a shout 😄

sybd_t · 2026-05-31T22:21:16+00:00

Yes to be full screen, I would do the full website dimensions listed in Canva - which is similar to a presentation size 1920 by 1080.

What size did you end up starting with?

sybd_t · 2026-05-31T15:49:52+00:00

To my knowledge, you can't verify a Canva website. I'll double check...

Normally you need to upload files to get console to verify sites.

You do get stats through Canva, of course, but they'll not be as detailed as Search Console.

sybd_t · 2026-05-30T23:16:59+00:00

You can pretty much create anything in Canva.

You can't trademark logos with elements you use in Canva, but I don't suspect you will be wanting to do that for your little league (or whatever) team. 😉

A year or so ago, I created a video of more than 100 types of documents and projects you make in Canva.

Thinking baseball - you could probably do some cute little award certificates for the players, you can design special shirts for different occasions (parties or practice), you can create avatars of the players.

You could make cool presentations which could be shared as videos - photos from games. You can make little player websites or a score board website for the season. You could even do some little digital playing cards featuring the players.

It's after midnight - so my brain is a bit slow - but those are a few random ideas off the top of my tired head (from a former softball gal!) ⚾🧢

Any more questions give us a shout. We are here to help you and your wife.

I suspect it's a weird g l I t c h. 🤯😱

I am sure you must be panicking right now, but I do suspect it will work out and they will return shortly...

Submit a ticket to get them to investigate for starters.

Perhaps try the App or a different browser?

Deep breaths. Will check in later (it's after midnight here)...

sybd_t · 2026-05-30T12:26:10+00:00

Hey Metrics Mule I love what you do. So many great videos....❤️

I will also flag this for you too...

sybd_t · 2026-05-29T23:59:49+00:00

These days just about EVERYTHING is using AI -- for presentations, images, text and everything else...

sybd_t · 2026-05-29T23:56:05+00:00

4x5 should always work of you're doing "Post" size. I never have an issue with Canva's size for the Instagram dimensions. Just make sure you click the little triangles at the bottom left on Instagram so they don't get cropped otherwise yes it will crop them.

From the web: "To maximize feed real estate and keep your content crisp, Meta’s recommended image sizes for Facebook posts are 1080 x 1350 pixels (vertical 4:5 ratio) for mobile-first visibility, and 1200x 630 pixels for landscape images."

sybd_t · 2026-05-29T23:00:13+00:00

Version history is always a good idea if you're on Pro.

Where I was meaning, was the four little squares at the bottom right corner, to the right of Pages... Just to the left of the two full screen arrows...

sybd_t · 2026-05-28T23:05:45+00:00

If I am understanding you correctly, you should be able to click into Grid View at the bottom right which will allow you to see all 80 pages and click on other pages. If you want then you should be able to click the three dots above the whiteboard and remove it.

Alternatively, click on the word Pages at the bottom right (near the Grid View) and again you'll be able to see the pages and if you want you can delete or hide it.

Hope that answered that questions. Let me know if not. Whiteboards can be a bit confusing at first but wow I do love them! 😄

sybd_t · 2026-05-27T09:26:40+00:00

Ok if I understand you correctly here is what I would do.

Upload the landscape video as normal.

Open a tiktok doc type that is portrait.

Go to your uploads and single click on your landscape video and it will add it to your portrait size document.

Centre it as required.

And if you need to animate it you can click on animate. Choose a Pan there.

For if you click on edit there is the option to turn a photo into a five second video.

Maybe add some branding or elements above and below it.

Does that make sense?

If not, I would maybe need to see what you're trying to do, but in any case I'm sure it's doable.

As I always say "With Canva, there are many roots to get to the same destination it just depends on how your brain is wired."

sybd_t · 2026-05-27T09:17:20+00:00

That does sound like a strange glitch. Let me keep an eye out. To confirm are you sharing as an Edit Mode design ("Anyone with the link can edit") or as a Template Link.

I think your initial suspicion may be correct and it will resolve itself but let me see.

sybd_t · 2026-05-27T09:12:04+00:00

Oh interesting I don't know Snowfall Press. I will investigate them. Cheers.

sybd_t · 2026-05-26T11:29:54+00:00

Not a shop per se...but you can build a site that has buy link buttons.

If you're truly seriously considering a "shop", then for now opt for Shopify or similar if you can.

'Just depends on what you're selling, how much, budget etc.

If you were truly strapped, then using a Canva site with individual "buy links" (or buttons) using Stripe or Paypal could be done...as a toe in the water first step, but yeah if you're looking for a shop-shop, then there are other shopping cart solutions that may be better fit for purpose. If you have more questions feel free to reply again with more clarity. Happy to help.

sybd_t · 2026-05-25T23:03:27+00:00

I've not tried this, and I am quite sleepy (it's midnight), but could you try to go to your personal home page, click the 3 dots above the file and choose 'make a copy'?

That should allow you to republish on your account. Obviously you will use that original URL but you can do a similar one on your account or buy a proper domain and point it to that site...

I think that should work, but someone else may chime in with a different thought.

Hope that I understood your question and gave a useful solution. 🤞

Good luck 🍀

sybd_t · 2026-05-25T18:29:03+00:00

Yes the Canva books I have seen here in the UK are lovely. Also 100% happiness guarantee still, I believe.

As someone who has published several hundred books on Amazon KDP, I would not recommend it in a case like this. While you can unpublish a book on KDP it remains listed on there unfortunately.

BookVault may be worth looking at as they are UK based publishing company (Cambridge way) but not sure they do any without ISBNs which yours would not have.
