To determine the size of an element in Canva, you can use the following steps:
- Select the element that you want to measure. This could be a text box, image, shape, or other element.
- In the top toolbar, click the “Transform” tab. This will open the Transform panel on the right side of the screen.
- In the Transform panel, you will see the width and height of the selected element displayed in pixels. You can adjust the size of the element by entering new values in these fields.
- Alternatively, you can click and drag the blue handles that appear around the selected element to resize it. As you drag the handles, the width and height values in the Transform panel will update to reflect the new size of the element.
- You can also use the “Align” tab in the top toolbar to quickly align the selected element with other elements on the canvas. This can help you ensure that the element is the desired size and positioned correctly within your design.
