How To Justify Text In Canva

Alignment is an essential factor for visual effect. Among the most common left-alignment feature, Canva also offers the justify option. Many users prefer the justified alignment over the more common left-aligned alternative since it evens out both sides of the text and appears cleaner and more formal.

This article will talk about how to use the justify feature in your designs using Canva on different platforms. We’ll also answer some common questions about adding text and text effects.

How to Justify Text in Canva on a PC

Canva introduced the justify feature in 2019. Even though the justify feature wasn’t initially offered, Canva listened to its users and added the option. Now, instead of just having three alignment options, left-aligned, right-aligned, and center, you’ll have the fourth option when clicking on the alignment button – justified.

To justify text in Canva from your PC, the steps are:

1. Open a design or add a new one by clicking on the “+” button.
   
2. Type out the text you want or select text that was already there by highlighting it.
   
3. Look for the alignment button in the toolbar at the top.
   
4. Click a couple of times until your text is justified.
   
5. Canva autosaves your changes; if you want to be sure, you can save it manually by clicking on the “Save” button.
   

Keep in mind that these steps might slightly vary on whether you’re using a Mac or Windows PC, but the main idea stays the same.
