How do you rotate the canvas in Affinity Designer?

Published in Affinity Designer 1 min read

You can rotate the canvas in Affinity Designer by using the View menu options.

Affinity Designer provides a straightforward method for rotating the canvas, allowing you to work at different angles for improved precision and comfort. Here's how:

  • Using the View Menu:
    • Go to the View menu at the top of the screen.
    • Select either Rotate Left or Rotate Right.
    • Each selection rotates the canvas in 15° increments.

This method allows for quick and easy adjustments to your canvas orientation, which is especially helpful for tasks that require working at specific angles. Remember that rotating the canvas only changes the view, not the actual orientation of the objects on the canvas. The underlying design remains unchanged.
