Canva Introduces Layers, the Ultimate Feature for Designers Canva has recently released its most highly anticipated feature yet – Layers! With this addition, Canva has solidified its position as the best online design platform available. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use layers in canva.
What is layering in graphic designing and How to see layers in Canva ?
Layering in graphic designing refers to the process of organizing multiple elements or objects on separate layers, which can be easily edited and manipulated independently of one another. This allows designers to create complex designs with multiple elements without affecting the other parts of the design. It is a fundamental technique used in most graphic design software. Earlier canva creators were using the options “moving forward” or “backward” which was not only time consuming but had a lot of limitations to work with complex designs.
Thanks to Canva’s new layer option within the position tab, experimenting with complex designs has become incredibly simple.
