Creating groups in Canva is a handy way to manage multiple elements in your design more efficiently. Whether you’re working on a presentation, poster, or any other type of design, grouping elements allows you to move, resize, and edit them as a single unit, saving you time and effort.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you master grouping in Canva:
Click and drag your mouse to create a selection box around the elements you want to group.
Alternatively, hold the Shift key and click on each element you wish to include in the group.
Right-click on one of the selected elements and choose ‘Group’ from the context menu.
Alternatively, click on the ‘Group’ button that appears aboved the selected elements in the Canva toolbar.
Click and drag the group to move all elements at once.
Use the corner handles to resize the entire group proportionally.
Double-click on the group and then click on a specific element to edit it individually.
Right-click on the group and select ‘Ungroup’.
Alternatively, click on the group and then click the ‘Ungroup’ button in the toolbar.
The process for grouping elements in the Canva mobile app involves a few simple steps. Here’s how you can do it:
First, tap one of the elements you'd like to group. This action will bring up a menu at the bottom of the screen.
Scroll to the right-hand side of the menu and click the 'More' option with 3 dots icon.
From this extended menu, choose the 'Select Multiple' option. You can now tap additional elements on the canvas you wish to group. A red notification on the 'select multiple' button will show the number of elements selected for grouping.
Once you have selected all the elements, click the 'Group' option from the menu. This action will group your selected elements, allowing you to move or edit them as a single unit.
Following these steps, you can efficiently manage and organize various elements in your Canva design using the mobile app, just as easily as you would on the desktop version.
To ungroup the elements, simply click the 'Ungroup' option, which will now be visible on the menu.
Grouping in Canva simplifies the process of managing multiple design elements. It’s particularly useful for keeping your design organized and ensuring consistent manipulation of elements. With practice, grouping will become an integral part of your Canva workflow.
