Digital Signage with Canva
How to create digital signage content using Canva
Canva is one of the most powerful and easiest tools that can be used to design digital signage content.
This step-by-step guide will help you create and optimize designs for your digital signage screens.
The first and most important step is to make sure you get the right dimensions for your images or video. If your TV is landscape, your content dimensions need to be 1920 x 1080 pixels. If the TV is portrait, then it needs to be 1080 x 1920 pixels. Designing content smaller than these dimensions will mean that they will be stretched, resulting in a loss of quality.
Step 1: Create your Canvas
Step 2: Content dimensions
Enter 1920 for width, and 1080 for height. If your TV is in portrait mode, you need to set the width to 1080 and height to 1920.
For 4K Screens the image sizes are 3840 x 2160 pixels for landscape, 2160 x 3840 pixels for portrait.
Step 3: Start Designing
You can use any of Canva’s pre-made temples to design content, or if you are brave enough, you can make your own designs from scratch.
