Do you want to group multiple elements in Canva? Luckily, you can do this easily on any platform! Grouping elements is an efficient way to move and manipulate them as a whole instead of as individual pieces. You can group shapes, pictures, and other objects so that if you wish to relocate them but not change the distance between them, they will move as one. This How.com.vn article teaches you how to group on Canva using your PC, Mac, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
