Page Layout

The arrangement of elements on a page.

What is a page layout in Canva?

A page layout in Canva is a pre-designed template that users can utilize to create their own unique designs. These layouts are created by professional designers and come in a variety of styles, themes, and formats to suit different types of content. They can include elements such as text boxes, images, shapes, and other design components that are arranged in a particular way on the page.

Users can choose a layout that fits their needs and then customize it by adding their own text, images, and other elements. They can also adjust the size, color, and position of the existing elements in the layout. This feature of Canva makes it easy for users to create professional-looking designs, even if they don't have any design experience.
