How Do You Even Out Lines in Canva?

To even out lines (or other elements) in Canva, you typically use the Position tool to align their edges or distribute the space between them.

Aligning and Distributing Elements in Canva

Canva's Position tool allows you to arrange multiple elements precisely on your design. This is where you can "even out" their positioning.

The Importance of Selecting Multiple Elements

Based on the provided reference, to access the options specifically for spacing or distributing elements evenly, you need to select at least three elements on your design.

• If you select only one or two elements, the spacing and distribution options will not be available in the Position menu, although basic alignment (like aligning to the page center) might still be present.
• Selecting three or more elements unlocks the full suite of alignment and spacing tools.

Steps to Even Out Lines or Elements

1. Select the Elements: Click and drag a selection box around the lines or elements you want to even out, or hold Shift and click on each one individually. Remember, for spacing options, you need at least three selected.
2. Access the Position Menu: With the elements selected, click the Position button in the top-right corner of the Canva editor.
3. Align or Arrange: In the Position menu, you'll find options for:
   • Aligning: Use options like Left, Center, Right, Top, Middle, or Bottom to align the selected elements relative to each other or the page. This helps line up their edges.
   • Arranging (Spacing/Distributing):
     • Space Evenly: This section becomes active when you have at least three elements selected.
     • Choose Horizontally to make the horizontal space between the centers of the elements equal.
     • Choose Vertically to make the vertical space between the centers of the elements equal.
   • Layers: (Less relevant to "evening out," but part of the Position menu, used for stacking order).

By using the Space Evenly options (Horizontally or Vertically) after selecting three or more lines or elements, you can quickly make the spacing between them consistent, effectively "evening them out".
