How to Create Equal-Width Sections in Canva Without Gaps

Creating equal-width sections in Canva is essential for clean, professional designs.

Whether you're designing covers or thumbnails for your projects, follow these simple steps to achieve perfectly aligned sections without any gaps.

Open Canva and create a new design with your desired dimensions (e.g., 1600x900).

Go to Elements and select a Square or Rectangle.

Resize the rectangle to cover half of the canvas, ensuring equal width.

Duplicate the rectangle by pressing Ctrl + D (Windows) or Cmd + D (Mac).

Move the duplicated rectangle to the other half of the canvas.

Change the color of the left section to your preferred color.

Change the right section's color to complement the left side.

Your two sections are now perfectly aligned with no gaps. Add your content, such as text or images, to complete the look.

Start by opening Canva and creating a new design with your preferred dimensions.

Navigate to the Elements tab and search for Grids.

Select a grid with two equal sections to ensure both halves are the same width.

Click on the grid to select it.

Set the Spacing to 0 in the toolbar to eliminate any gaps between the sections.

Click on each grid section and change the background colors to your chosen palette.

With the grid sections in place, you can add text, images, or mockups to each side, maintaining a balanced and professional appearance.

By following these methods, you can effortlessly create Canva designs with equal-width sections that enhance the visual appeal of your projects.

Whether you're designing for presentations, social media, or personal projects, this technique ensures your layouts are professional and gap-free.
