How do I change the rotation in Canva?

Changing the rotation of elements in Canva is easy! You can rotate images, text, and other elements directly within the Canva editor.

Here's how:

1. Select the Element: Click on the element (image, text box, shape, etc.) you want to rotate.

2. Locate the Rotate Handle: Once selected, you'll see a small circle with two curved arrows (the rotate handle) either at the bottom or to the side of the element.

3. Rotate the Element: Click and drag the rotate handle. As you drag, the element will rotate. Canva usually displays the degree of rotation as you turn the element.

Tips for Precise Rotation:

• Hold Shift: Holding the Shift key while dragging the rotate handle will snap the rotation to 45-degree increments. This makes it easier to get precise rotations like 90 or 180 degrees.

• Use the Position Tab (if applicable): Some elements may allow you to adjust rotation directly via a number input field in the "Position" tab or a similar properties panel. Look for a field labeled "Rotation" or similar.

Example Scenario:

Let's say you have an image that's slightly crooked and you want to straighten it.

1. Click on the image.
2. Find the rotate handle below the image.
3. Click and drag the handle until the image appears straight. You can observe the degree shown until you reach 0 or close to it to level it.

By following these steps, you can easily adjust the rotation of any element in Canva to achieve the desired effect in your designs.
