How Do I Add Guides in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 6:34 pm

Guides are a great way to ensure your design is aligned the way you want it. You can add guides in Canva by selecting the “Add Guides” option from the “File” menu.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, adding guides in Canva can be a destructive action. If you accidentally click and drag on a guide, all of your content in that area will be shifted. Make sure to use the lock icon in the top left corner to prevent this from happening.

Once you have selected this option, you will be able to add horizontal and vertical guides by clicking on the canvas and dragging them to the desired location. You can also delete guides by selecting them and pressing the “delete” key on your keyboard.
