Canva Upscaling & Converting Advice
Hey Gang! I'm new to the POD world and watched all of Tom's videos. I would just like to ask the question regarding upscaling. I'm temporarily using Canva for creating my designs. However when downloading the design should I be exporting it in 3.125x instead of 1x? As I have just been following Tom's method by download it in 1x but upscaling in 4x which I feel doesn't really do anything, this then isn't in 300dpi so I then go to the website he mentioned to convert. However i've just seen the pixels aren't as large compared to when exporting in 3.125x Anyone got any advice? Hope that makes sense :) Thank You Andy

Personally, I've been using a separate tool to upscale, and then in canva I just select the max size. Sometimes this leads to a massive file size that print shrimp can't handle, so I set max size to 75MB. I also checked photopea and this leads to dpi automatically being 300, so I don't need to do dpi conversion

SKU's for different sizes
Apologies I know this has been asked a lot but I just wanted to make absolute sure. For the one print regardless of the different sizes you would name the sku as exactly the same for all. please see attached snippy of my variation page. Is this right? Its just slightly confusing me because the Esty listing says refer to variations for SKU's for varying sizes

@Mihai Volintiriu I’m not sure if this is correct? (correct me if I’m wrong), but for printshrimp integration, SKU should vary by size. Say I have two sizes A1 and A2, the we need to create a “Size” variation on Etsy and each size option has its own unique SKU. Here is a sample of a listing I have which had a sale that printshrimp was able to correctly identify. Or is there something I’m missing?

@Mihai Volintiriu @Chloe Mitchell Thanks guys! Tom also responded and looks like I might have watched an out of date video on this. This is going to be a massive time saver!

When to run ads
Hi everyone, just uploaded 16 listings over the past 3-4 days. Is it best to wait for an organic sale before running ads or do you guys recommend running ads from the get to to increase shop awareness?

Personally I ran ads right from the start, and started getting sales in my second week of opening (5 sales in week 2). Not sure if ads have anything to do with it, but this has just been my experience. So far all of my sales apart from one has come from customers clicking my ads

Upscaling (upscayl)
Interested to know what everyone’s process is for upscaling up to A0 poster size. Currently I was thinking something alongside the below but keen to hear opinions/what’s working best for others 1. Downloading from midjourney 2. Using upscayl x4 before importing the image in canva 3. Exporting in canva pro to the correct size once design is finished Should I be “upscayling” again after exporting from Canva Pro too ? Thanks in advance!

Pretty much the same as yours, main diff is that I use Playground for 4x upscale, and for Canva I set my default download settings to “max size that fits within 75 mb” (for printshrimp)
