Master the Shapes tool on Colab’s infinite canvas. Learn to build grids, use shapes as containers or masks, and create professional layouts with custom strokes.

Overview

Shapes provide clean, flexible building blocks for layouts, emphasis, and structure. Use them as frames, containers, guides, or graphic elements in your compositions.

How to use

  • Select Shapes from the toolbar.
  • Choose a base shape (rectangle, circle, line, etc.) and draw it on the Canvas.
  • Adjust size, corner radius, stroke, and fill to match your design.
  • Use shapes as masks, backgrounds, or containers for images and text.
  • Duplicate and align shapes to build grids, cards, or repeated structures.
