How Do I Show Gridlines in Canva?

Last updated on April 23, 2023 @ 3:32 pm

Gridlines are an important part of any design, and Canva is no different. By default, there are no automatic gridlines in Canva, but they can easily be added to your design using the Elements tab by following a few simple steps.

First, open the Canva design you’re working on, then go to the Elements tab and search for “grid lines” in the search bar, then press “Enter” on your keyboard.

PRO TIP: If you are trying to show gridlines in Canva, be aware that this can be a difficult and time-consuming task. There is no guarantee that you will be able to see the gridlines, and even if you are able to see them, they may not be visible in all areas of the canvas.

From there, go to the Graphics section and click on the “See all” link to open the Graphics window containing all gridlines options.

Select your preferred gridlines element and add it to your canvas.

You can resize the gridlines element by clicking and dragging on its pill handles.

To make the gridlines appear as faint lines running both horizontally and vertically across your design canvas, you can use the Transparency slider in the top menu and set it to your preferred transparency. These gridlines can be helpful when you are trying to line up elements in your design or create a consistent layout. To turn off the gridlines, you can set the Transparency settings to zero.
