Canvas Design Guide

Recommended size

Canvas shows several media in a grid. Each layout uses a fixed set of cell ratios, so the size you should upload depends on the layout you choose.

In the 4-grid layout you can choose the cell ratio. The 6-grid and 7-grid layouts use fixed ratios.

  • Canvas cells can hold both images and video.
  • Video cells show a play icon and follow the same ratios and sizes as images

Customizing the interface

You can customize the following in the dashboard, under the Canvas widget's Design tab.

  • Template (Layout): Choose the grid structure: 6-grid, 4-grid, or 7-grid. This sets how cells are arranged and how many media items are shown.
  • Media ratio:
    6-grid: fixed at 1:1
    4-grid: selectable — 1:1 or 10:16
    7-grid: fixed hybrid — 1:1 + 9:18

Style

  • Background color: separate values can be set for light and dark themes
  • Corner radius is defined as a percentage of each media cell's shorter edge, so it scales proportionally with the cell size rather than using a fixed pixel value.
    Sharp — 0%
    Soft — 5%
    Rounded — 10%
    Playful — 15%
  • Padding: Horizontal and Vertical padding for the widget's outer spacing.
  • Spacing: Gap between media items inside the grid.
  • Title (optional — can be turned off): Font, size, and color. Color supports separate light/dark values.
  • Button (optional — can be turned off): Font, size, and color. Color supports separate light/dark values.
