Aligning Objects

Use alignment tools to position design elements without manually dragging everything into place. They can help you center a logo, line up text boxes, organize QR codes, or create cleaner layouts for custom stickers, labels, decals, packaging, and other printed products.

Alignment is especially helpful when a design needs to look balanced, evenly spaced, or centered on the canvas.

How to Align an Object to the Canvas

Use Align to Canvas when you want to position an object relative to the full design area.

  • Select the object you want to align.
  • Find the alignment options in the design toolbar.
  • Choose an alignment option, such as Align Left, Align Center, Align Right, Align Top, Align Middle, or Align Bottom.
  • The selected object will move into position based on the canvas.

This is useful for centering logos, headlines, product names, or other important elements within your design.

How to Align Multiple Objects

Use Align to Selection when you are working with two or more objects and want them to line up with each other.

  • Select multiple objects on the canvas.
  • Find the alignment options in the design toolbar.
  • Choose how you want the selected objects to align.
  • The objects will align relative to each other instead of the full canvas.

This is helpful for lining up text boxes, images, shapes, icons, QR codes, and other grouped design elements.

How to Space Objects Evenly

When working with three or more objects, use Space Evenly to create consistent spacing between them.

  • Select three or more objects.
  • Open the alignment menu.
  • Choose whether to distribute spacing horizontally or vertically.
  • The tool will create equal spacing between the selected objects.

This is a quick way to create cleaner rows, columns, label layouts, and repeated design elements without manually measuring the distance between each item.

Things to Keep in Mind

Alignment and spacing tools can help make your design look cleaner and more polished while saving time. If elements feel slightly off or uneven, these tools are often the fastest way to bring everything into place.

Before ordering, check that important elements like logos, text, QR codes, and product details are aligned the way you want and are not too close to the edge of the design.
