EasyEDA does not currently include any auto placement features on conversion of a schematic to PCB. It does include a range of features to help align parts once placed and to distribute elements in a range of array formats: [https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Introduction/Basic-Skill/index.html#Align](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Introduction/Basic-Skill/index.html#Align) 

I saw, but forgot where the option of placing components on the PCB as well as on the circuit is located.
