Q: What is a custom size template in Piktochart?

A custom size template lets you define your own canvas dimensions rather than choosing from Piktochart's preset sizes. This is ideal when you need a design that fits a specific platform requirement, print format, or physical display that doesn't match any standard template dimensions.

Q: How do I set a custom canvas size in Piktochart?

In the Piktochart editor, select Custom Size when creating a new design. Enter your desired width and height in pixels, inches, centimeters, or millimeters. Piktochart will generate a blank canvas at your specified dimensions that you can design from scratch or build using the full library of templates and design elements.

Q: What are common use cases for custom size designs in Piktochart?

Custom sizes are used for billboard and large-format print designs, non-standard social media banner dimensions, digital signage displays, trade show graphics, product packaging mockups, and platform-specific ad formats that differ from standard preset sizes.

Q: Can I use a custom size canvas with existing Piktochart design elements?

Yes. Even when using a custom canvas size, you have full access to Piktochart's complete library of icons, stock images, fonts, and design elements. You can build your design using these assets at whatever dimensions your project requires.

Q: Is there a limit to how large or small a custom size canvas can be in Piktochart?

Piktochart supports a wide range of canvas dimensions for both very large print outputs and small digital formats. For optimal export quality, it is recommended to design at the actual intended output size or at 2x resolution for print materials that require high-definition output.

Q: How do I export a custom size design from Piktochart at print quality?

When you're ready to export, choose PDF for print use or PNG for digital. For print, select the highest resolution setting available to ensure your custom-sized design is sharp and ready for professional output at its final dimensions.

Q: Why would a brand choose custom size over a standard Piktochart template?

Standard templates cover the most common design formats, but branded content often needs to fit specific dimensions for custom print runs, unique digital ad placements, or branded merchandise. Custom size gives brands the flexibility to design for any format while still using Piktochart's full creative toolkit.

Pick a template and quickly turn it into a stunning report, presentation, infographic, social media graphic, or printable.
