How do you resize a canvas in Adobe Express?

Published in Adobe Express Resizing 1 min read

To resize a canvas in Adobe Express, you can utilize the Select and Move Tool. Here's how:

  1. Select the Canvas: Using the Select and Move Tool, click on either the canvas size label or the canvas border itself to select the canvas.
  2. Resize with Handles: Once the canvas is selected, you'll see border handles appear. Click and drag these handles to resize the canvas dynamically.
    • Non-Uniform Resizing: If you drag the border handles directly without any keyboard modifiers, the canvas will resize non-uniformly, meaning its proportions may change.
    • Constrain Proportions: To maintain the original proportions of the canvas while resizing, hold down the Shift key while dragging the border handles. This ensures a uniform resize.
