How Do I Select Multiple Items in Canva on a Mac?

Are you looking to select multiple items in Canva on a Mac? You've come to the right place! In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to easily select multiple items in Canva using your Mac.

Step 1: Open Canva

To get started, open Canva on your Mac by clicking on the Canva icon in your applications folder or by searching for it in Spotlight.

Step 2: Create or Open a Design

Once Canva is open, you can either create a new design from scratch or open an existing design that you want to work with. To create a new design, click on the "Create a design" button. To open an existing design, click on the "Your designs" tab and select the design you want to work with.

Step 3: Select the First Item

To select multiple items in Canva, start by selecting the first item you want to include in your selection. Simply click on the item once to highlight it.

Step 4: Add More Items to Your Selection

To add more items to your selection, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and click on each additional item you want to include. As you click on each item, it will be added to your selection.

Tips:

• If you accidentally select an item that you don't want to include in your selection, simply hold down the Command key and click on that item again. It will be removed from your selection.
• If there are many items close together and it's difficult to select them individually, try zooming in on your design using the zoom controls at the bottom of the Canva window. This will make it easier to select the items precisely.

Step 5: Manipulate Your Selection

Once you have selected multiple items in Canva, you can manipulate them as a group. You can move them together, resize them together, apply styles or effects to all of them simultaneously, and much more.

Tips:

• To move your selection, click and drag any item within the selection. All selected items will move together.
• To resize your selection, click and drag any corner or edge of any item within the selection. All selected items will be resized proportionally.
• To apply styles or effects to your selection, use the options available in the toolbar at the top of the Canva window. Any changes you make will be applied to all selected items.

Step 6: Deselect Your Selection

Once you are done working with your selected items, you can deselect them by clicking anywhere outside of the selection on your design canvas. Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut Command + D to quickly deselect your selection.

That's it! You now know how to easily select multiple items in Canva on a Mac. This feature can be incredibly useful when you want to work with several elements simultaneously and save time in your design process.
