Aligning Objects

The alignment tools help you quickly position elements without manually dragging them into place. Whether you're centering a logo, lining up multiple objects, or creating evenly spaced layouts, these tools can help keep your design organized.

Aligning to the Canvas

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

  • Select the object you want to align.
  • You will no see the alignment options in the design options.
  • Choose an alignment option such as: Align Left, Align Center, Align Right, Align Top, Align Middle, Align Bottom
  • The selected object will move into position based on the canvas.

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

Aligning Multiple Objects

Use Align to Selection when working with two or more objects.

  • Select multiple objects.
  • You will no see the alignment options in the design options.
  • Choose how you would like the objects aligned.
  • The selected objects will align relative to each other rather than the canvas.

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

Spacing Objects Evenly

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

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

This is a quick way to create clean rows, columns, and layouts without manually measuring distances between elements.

Things to Keep in Mind

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