How do I change the gradient direction in Canva?

Published in Canva Design 1 min read

You can change the gradient direction in Canva by using the rotate arrow on the gradient element.

Here's how:

  1. Select the Gradient Element: Click on the element that has the gradient applied.

  2. Locate the Rotate Arrow: After selecting the element, you should see a circular arrow located at the bottom of the element's bounding box. This is the rotate handle.

  3. Rotate the Gradient: Click and drag the rotate arrow to swivel the gradient to the desired direction. You can rotate it freely to best match the shape of your design or place it in the exact direction you want the gradient to flow.

By rotating the element, you are effectively changing the angle at which the gradient is applied, thus changing the direction of the gradient's flow. Experiment with different angles to achieve the desired effect.
