SizeSpec vs Canva
Canva is a broad design tool for social posts, presentations and print. Its Magic Resize feature resizes a design to common formats, but it is a paid-tier feature, has no marketplace-specific presets, and does not check file size against a marketplace's upload limit.

Can I resize photos for free in Canva?
The editor is free to use, but Magic Resize, Canva's one-click resize-to-multiple-formats tool, sits behind the paid Pro plan on most accounts.
Does Canva have Etsy or Amazon-specific sizes?
Canva ships generic social and print format presets. It does not publish marketplace listing presets with a cited source the way SizeSpec's guides do.
Does Canva check my file size against a marketplace limit?
No. Canva exports at a chosen resolution and format; it does not compare the result against a marketplace's stated byte limit.
