What Exactly is Grid Spacing?

The white, blank space that is available between the two images, two frames is the grid space. This is grid spacing. When you want your images to have enough blank space in between, you can increase it. However, if you want your images to be tightly together in the grid, then decrease the spacing.

How Can I Add Images to the Grid?

Once you fix the grid spacing, you can add images. Go to your uploads. Choose the already uploaded image or upload a new image. Select that image. The image will appear on the design. Drag it to the frame you want it to be in. Once you do that, the image will get adjusted inside the frame automatically. You can create a team in Canva to allot others the work of creating the grid.
