Guides are a powerful tool to help you align layers perfectly on your canvas. Whether you’re building a campaign banner or a social media graphic, guides allow you to achieve a clean, professional layout effortlessly.
How to Add a Guide
Hover over the ruler (horizontal or vertical) surrounding the canvas.
Click on the ruler where you want the guide to appear.
Click on that newly added guide, an input field will show up, allowing you to enter a precise pixel value to adjust its position.
You can add as many guides as needed for your layout.
How to Move a Guide
Use drag & drop: click on a guide and drag it along the ruler to reposition it.
The new pixel position will be displayed in real time.
How to Remove a Guide
Simply drag the guide outside of the ruler. It will be deleted automatically.
Snap-to-Guide Behavior
When you move a layer close to a guide, the guide is highlighted in blue. This indicates the layer snap to the guide — ensuring precise positioning without manual pixel adjustments.
By combining guides with layer locking, you gain full control over design layout and alignment in the Abyssale editor. Perfect for teams looking to maintain visual consistency at scale.
