Snap to pixel grid

Enabling Snap to Pixel Grid to place layers in the desired position:

  • Align layers with the pixel grid when drawing, moving, or dragging to adjust on the canvas.
  • In vector editing mode, adding or moving content on the canvas can align with half-pixel grids.
  • When using the functions of Alignment, Distribute spacing, and Tidy up on layers, the position of the layers will be aligned to the nearest pixel grid.

Tip: In vector editing mode, holding Ctrl while moving content in the canvas area can temporarily ignore the Snap to Pixel Grid.
