3. Choose your file format:
   • JPG – Best for smaller file sizes and web use.

👉 Pro Tip: PNG is ideal for social media graphics, while JPG works best for websites and emails.

Grids are one of Canva’s most powerful design tools, helping you create clean and balanced layouts. Here’s how to use them:

1. Go to “Elements” and scroll down to find “Grids.”
2. Select the grid format you like (single or multi-grid options available).
3. Drag and drop your images or content into the grid spaces.
4. Customize the look by adjusting spacing, resizing, or adding text.
