Hello, everybody!
Welcome back to my channel, Jennifer Marie, where I teach you how to make money online
as a work from home freelancer.
So in my last tutorial, I taught you how you can become a YouTube thumbnail designer and
apply to jobs on Upwork.
And for many of these types of jobs, the clients require you to submit files in PSD format,
which they can then open up in Photoshop.
Now, if you are creating all of your designs on Canva.
Canva does not allow you to export as a .psd file.
And that is what a lot of these clients require.
Well, fortunately, there is a way that you can convert your templates on Canva, or any
design that you create on Canva into a file that they can open up into Photoshop and be
able to manipulate and move the layers.
And this method is 100% completely free.
And you don't need to have Photoshop to do it either.
First of all, open up your design on Canva can be any design or any template.
Then at the top here, where we download the image, we'll click on that.
And under file type, we're going to Download as PDF print high quality multi page document,
you do not need to have Canva Pro to download as a PDF print, then you'll click download.
So what this has done is it has downloaded our file as a PDF.
Now if we import this file directly into Photoshop, as I'll show you now, file open, you can see
here that this will not work because it's just one layer.
So your client would not want this as a file because they can't do anything with it, they
can't change anything.
So you have to do this step.
First, what we're going to do is go to PhotoPea, and PhotoPea is a web based graphics editor
that is completely free.
You don't need to download or install anything.
And you can open all of these different file types.
It sort of works like Photoshop, except it's free, and it's web based.
So what we're going to do is open up the PDF file we just exported from Canva.
So we'll click open from computer or drag and drop your file, select your PDF file.
Okay, and now that we have imported this image, you can see at the side here that we have
all of these different layers.
And we can adjust any of these layers as we want.
So for example, I can toggle this on and off to make those diamonds disappear, or the squiggle
line at the side.
So all of these elements and layers have been preserved.
So now what we're going to do is go File, Save As PSD.
So I'm going to put Jennifer Marie thumbnail PSD, and you can see it, we'll save it as
a PSD file, and then click Save.
So now I'm going to go into Photoshop again, file open.
And I'm going to open the PSD file we just exported in photo P. And here we can see the
difference between this image and the last one because we have all these layers here
at this side.
So when you're giving this to your designer, they will be able to make any edits they want
and move anything around that they want within this template here.
So this is a really quick way that you can convert your Canva templates into PSD files
that you can then go and send to your client when you're finished creating their thumbnail
or their flyer, or any posts you created for them for social media.
Because a lot of people do prefer to work in Canva because it is just so easy and user
friendly as opposed to working in Photoshop.
So this is a way that you can continue working in Canva but then also be able to provide
these PSD files to your clients.
So that's it for today's video.
I want to thank you guys once again for watching.
