How to Group on Canva : Step-by-Step Guide
Begin by launching your Canva project where you plan to organize multiple elements. This will serve as the workspace for grouping, helping you manage your design components more efficiently.
Next, select the items you want to combine by clicking and dragging your cursor around them. Alternatively, hold down the 'Shift' key and click on each element individually to ensure you include everything needed for your group.
After highlighting all desired elements, locate the 'Group' option positioned in the top toolbar. Clicking this button will link your selected items together, making it easier to move or edit them as a single unit.
Congratulations! Your elements are now grouped, allowing you to treat them as one. This helps streamline your design process and keeps your workspace tidy.

FAQs
Commonly asked questions about this topic.
What does grouping elements in Canva do?
Grouping elements in Canva combines multiple selected objects so you can move, resize, or edit them as a single unit. This simplifies design management and maintains relative positioning between elements for easier adjustments.
Can I group text and images together in Canva?
Yes, Canva allows you to group text, images, shapes, and other design elements together. This flexibility helps keep your designs organized and makes editing multiple items faster and more efficient.
How do I select multiple elements to group in Canva?
You can select multiple elements by clicking and dragging your mouse cursor to form a box around them or by holding down the 'Shift' key and clicking on each element individually, then clicking the 'Group' button.
Is there a shortcut to group elements in Canva?
Yes, after selecting your elements, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + G (Cmd + G on Mac) to group them quickly without clicking the toolbar button, speeding up your workflow.
Can I ungroup elements after grouping them?
Absolutely. You can select the grouped elements and click 'Ungroup' in the toolbar, or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + G (Cmd + Shift + G on Mac) to separate them back into individual items.
Does grouping affect individual element properties like color or font?
No, grouping does not alter individual properties such as color or font. You can still edit each element’s attributes separately even when they are grouped together.
Can I group elements across different Canva pages?
No, grouping works only within the same Canva page. Elements from different pages cannot be grouped together since each page is an independent workspace.
Will grouping elements improve Canva project organization?
Yes, grouping helps organize your designs by bundling related elements. It simplifies moving and resizing while keeping your project workspace cleaner and more manageable.
Can I resize grouped elements proportionally?
When you resize grouped elements in Canva, all items scale proportionally together, maintaining their layout and relative sizes, which ensures a consistent design appearance.
Why can’t I find the 'Group' button in Canva?
The 'Group' button appears only after selecting multiple elements. If you don’t see it, ensure multiple objects are selected. Also, make sure your Canva version is up-to-date, as UI changes can affect toolbar visibility.
