Aligning a text box to the left in Canva ensures your design has a clean and professional appearance, particularly when creating layouts where text naturally begins from the left margin.

This feature is beneficial for maintaining a structured and organized look in your projects, enhancing readability, and providing a seamless flow that guides the viewer's eye smoothly across the content.
