By Impran M N
Placing two photos side by side is a simple way to compare products, show a before-and-after, or build a collage for social media and marketing. This guide walks through arranging two images cleanly in Canva, from initial layout to exporting a finished graphic.
01Choose a layout or blank canvas
Start with a Canva template designed for side-by-side images or set up a blank canvas sized for where the graphic will be used.
02Upload and place your two images
Add both photos to the canvas and position them next to each other, using grid or frame elements to keep the layout even.
03Adjust sizing and spacing
Resize each image so they match in scale and add consistent spacing between them for a clean, professional look.
04Customize with text or labels
Add captions, labels, or a divider if you're comparing products or showing a before-and-after to make the comparison clear.
05Export your finished side-by-side image
Once the layout looks right, download the graphic in a format suited to social media, presentations, or promotional materials.
