Create or open an existing design.
From the menu bar, select 'File' then 'View settings'.

A border of dashed lines will appear close to the edges of your design.
Resize or stretch your background to cover the white gaps.
Now that you have your bleed added, click 'Share'.
Choose 'Download'.
On the file type, choose 'PDF Print'.
Make sure to check the check box for 'Crop marks and bleed'.
