Canva is a powerful design tool that allows you to create stunning graphics, presentations, and social media posts with ease. Whether you are a professional designer or a beginner, Canva has got you covered. In this tutorial, we will learn how to group items in the Canva mobile app.

Step 1: Open Canva Mobile App

If you haven't already, download the Canva app from your app store and open it on your mobile device. Sign in to your account or create a new one if needed.

Step 2: Create or Open a Design

To group items in Canva, you need to have a design open. You can either create a new design from scratch or open an existing one from your designs library. Once you have your design ready, proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Select Multiple Items

To group items together, you first need to select multiple elements on your canvas. To do this:

Select the First Item: Tap and hold on the first item until it is highlighted or bordered.
Select Additional Items: While still holding onto the first item, tap on any other elements you want to include in the group. Each selected item will be highlighted as you tap on them.

Note that you can select various types of elements such as text boxes, shapes, images, icons, and more.

Step 4: Group Selected Items

Once you have selected all the items you want to group together:

Tap on 'Group': At the top of your screen, you will see various editing options. Look for the 'Group' button and tap on it.
Confirm the Group: A pop-up message will appear asking you to confirm the grouping action. Tap on 'Group' again to proceed.

Congratulations! You have successfully grouped your items together in Canva.

Step 5: Ungroup Items (If Needed)

If you want to ungroup the items later or make changes to individual elements within the group, follow these steps:

Select the Group: Tap on the grouped items to select them as a whole.
Tap on 'Ungroup': Look for the 'Ungroup' button at the top of your screen and tap on it.
Confirm Ungrouping: A pop-up message will appear asking you to confirm the ungrouping action. Tap on 'Ungroup' again to proceed.

You can now make changes to individual elements or move them independently on your canvas.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to group and ungroup items in Canva's mobile app. Grouping items is a handy feature that allows you to organize and manipulate multiple elements as a single entity. This can be especially helpful when you want to move or resize multiple elements together without affecting their individual properties. So go ahead, give it a try, and take your Canva designs to the next level!
