How to Group in Canva
Grouping elements in Canva is a vital skill for anyone looking to create polished and professional designs. In this post, we’ll discuss how to effectively group images and other elements in Canva, making your design process smoother and more efficient.
Step 1: Select Your Images
To start, open Canva and either create a new design or use a recent one. Select the first image you want to group. This can be any element you wish to combine with another, such as text or images.
Step 2: Add Another Image
Next, hold down the shift key and select the second image you want to group. This step is crucial as it ensures that both elements are selected simultaneously.
Step 3: Group the Elements
Once you have both images selected, right-click on one of them. A context menu will appear; from this menu, choose the “Group” option. By grouping the images, you can now move them as a single unit, making it easier to position them within your design.
Why Grouping Matters
Grouping elements in Canva not only simplifies the design process but also helps maintain alignment and spacing between your graphics. Whether you’re creating a YouTube thumbnail, a social media post, or any other graphic, knowing how to group in Canva will enhance your workflow and save you time.
