Changing a design to landscape orientation in Canva is done by resizing the design. Here's how:
Resizing to Landscape in Canva
You don't technically "rotate" a design, but rather resize it to landscape dimensions. Here are the steps to follow:
- Open your Design: Start with the Canva design you wish to change to landscape.
- Access Resize Option: According to the reference provided, you need to select 'Resize & Magic Switch' from the top menu.
- Choose Custom Size: In the 'Resize' section, select 'Custom size'.
- Select Landscape: You can then choose your desired size, including Landscape. By selecting 'Landscape' it will automatically adjust your design to the appropriate landscape dimensions. You can also choose any custom dimensions you prefer.
- Apply Resize: Once you have selected landscape, or input your preferred custom dimensions, click the button to apply the resize.
Understanding Landscape vs. Portrait
- Landscape: A wider-than-tall orientation, like a typical photo of a wide scene.
- Portrait: A taller-than-wide orientation, like a standard photo of a person.
Additional Notes
- After resizing, you might need to adjust your design elements to fit the new layout properly.
- You can choose from preset landscape dimensions or enter custom values for your desired width and height.
