You can do a lot with our beta PDF editor. Easily import, customize, convert, compress, and download your PDF files. Access our library and tools to help you create your best design yet. Consider these PDF importing and upload guidelines while you’re working on it:

• The maximum PDF file size is 100 MB.
• You can import PDF files with up to 300 pages.
• We don’t have support (yet) for soft masks, shading, tiled patterns, JPEG 2000 or JBIG images, and color filters.
• If your PDF has both text and images, we will break them up for editing purposes.
• If your PDF is a scan of documents or designs, it can only be processed as a flat or merged image. Its text or design elements can’t be broken up for editing.

For general media upload format guidelines, see Upload format requirements.

We try to identify and match every element during the conversion process. With many font options available, it’s not always possible to find an exact match. When it comes to having editable image colors, there’s a higher chance of success if the original type is a vector. Flat images can’t be broken down, making them uneditable.

Yes, you can import your very own drawings and illustrations using our drag-and-drop upload feature. If you’re feeling creative, you can also start drawing freehand using the Draw app on Canva.

Our online PDF editor has been designed for every use you might need, from classroom projects to impressing clients in the boardroom. All completely free. Simply import your PDF right into Canva and we’ll break it into elements you can easily edit — no special skills required. Once you’ve customized it, we’ll compress your PDF into JPEG and PNG files or resave into PDF format that are all downloadable and shareable.

Absolutely! The Canva online PDF editor is available through the Canva desktop app, which works on Windows and Mac computers. It’s also available on your browser by going to https://www.canva.com/download/.
