Last updated on December 7, 2022 @ 5:59 am

Canva is a user-friendly graphic design tool that is beloved by amateur and professional designers alike. One of the things that makes Canva so user-friendly is its easy-to-use measurement tools.

With just a few clicks, users can accurately measure dimensions and angles in their design projects. But how does Canva measure measurements?

Canva’s measurement tools are based on the HTML5 < canvas > element. The < canvas > element is a new HTML element that allows developers to create dynamic, scriptable graphics on the web. By using the < canvas > element, Canva is able to create an interactive measurement tool that can be used to accurately measure dimensions and angles in designs.

PRO TIP: Canva’s measurement tool can be inaccurate and should be used as a guide only. Always double check measurements before cutting or printing.

To use the measurement tool, simply click on the “Measure” button in the top toolbar. Then, click and drag your mouse to draw a line or shape.

The measurement tool will automatically calculate the dimensions and angle of your line or shape. You can also use the measurement tool to measure distance between two points by clicking on the “Distance” button in the top toolbar.

The measurement tool is a great way to ensure accuracy in your designs. With just a few clicks, you can easily measure dimensions and angles so that your designs are perfect every time.
