Aligning layers is an essential step for creating professional, balanced designs in Bannersnack. With the built-in Align tool, you can position single objects, multiple layers, or grouped elements quickly and precisely—ensuring your layout looks polished and consistent.

1. Align a Single Object

  • Click on the object you want to align to select it.

  • Use the Align options in the Layer toolbar to position the element relative to the entire canvas (top, middle, bottom, left, center, or right).

2. Align Multiple Layers Within a Selection

  • Hold Shift and click to select multiple layers.

  • Choose an Align option to arrange the objects relative to each other.

  • This is ideal for keeping even spacing and consistent alignment between selected items.
