Resizing Your Designs Made Simple
Need to adjust your design size? We've got you covered! Here's how to resize your designs without the stress. ✨
📍 Getting to Your Canvas Options
First, let's get you to the right place. You can access your design's canvas settings in any of these ways:
Option 1: In the Design Editor, look for the gear icon ⚙️ (Settings Design View) in the upper right corner, then click the Canvas tab.
Option 2: On your Designs page, right-click any design thumbnail and select See details, then click the Canvas tab.
Option 3: Click a design thumbnail on your Designs page, then hit the More Details button in the preview panel.
🔧 Choose Your Resizing Style
You have two main approaches when resizing:
Option A: Resize Everything Together
Important first step: Make sure the Design option is selected from the Resize Options setting.
This approach scales your canvas and all design elements together.
Keep Aspect Ratio ON: Your design elements stay in their current positions relative to each other and resize along with the canvas. This keeps everything in perfect harmony!
Keep Aspect Ratio OFF: Want more control? You can choose how things stretch:
- Scale: Fills the entire canvas without keeping proportions (heads up - images might stretch! ⚠️)
- Scale Width: Keeps proportions while fitting to your new width
- Scale Height: Keeps proportions while fitting to your new height
Option B: Resize Canvas Only
This resizes the canvas while keeping your design elements at exactly the same size and location.
Just change the Width and Height amounts to your desired new dimensions, then click the Resize button.
Helpful Tools:
- Anchor: Choose where your elements sit on the new canvas by clicking in a quadrant/square of the Anchor widget (center is the default)
- Relative: Add specific amounts of space to your width or height. The Width and Height fields will show zero "0" by default, and whatever you enter gets added to those dimensions.
💡 Pro Tip: When using Relative with Anchor, you control where that extra space goes. The center anchor splits it evenly between sides, while moving the anchor point places the added space outward from that location. For example, placing the anchor in the lower left corner adds space to the top and right sides.
