Hi, in this video I'm going to show you on how you can switch the rulers unit from inches to
0:06
centimeter in Canva. By default, the unit that is used by the horizontal and vertical
0:12
rules in Canva will be based on your location or where your account was registered
0:18
If you're using, sorry, if you are from USA, then you might be seeing inches, but if you are from
0:23
UK or from other Asian countries, you are going to be see centimeters. But of course, you can
0:29
you can always switch to whatever you need you find the best for your design
0:35
So in this example, I do have a horizontal and vertical rules using inches
0:41
but I could switch to centimeter. Here's how. First, you have to create a duplicate of your design, and on that duplicate
0:49
the rulers would be different. So first let click resize and after that you want to click custom size you don have to click on any of this just click custom size And then here you want to change the unit from inches to for example a centimeter And then I
1:09
going to click on this option. By the way, you can also switch to pixel if you prefer that
1:15
but I'm going to switch to centimeter. And after that, click copy and resize. Convo will create a
1:21
preview about what it's going to look like of this document when it's being converted to a
1:28
centimeter now that the element is ready you can click open okay just wait and as you can see this is
1:36
exactly the same document the same design except the rulers are different so if you actually look
1:44
closely this the distance between numbers are a lot closer meaning that they are actually
1:49
centimeters while the previous one the original document was in inches so that's exactly how you can
1:57
switch between units for the horizontal and vertical rules in Canva I hope you find this video helpful
