You can change the size of your artboard in Photopea using the Artboard tool, or by directly modifying its properties in the Layers panel. Here's how:
1. Using the Artboard Tool:
- Select the Artboard Tool: Find and select the Artboard tool from the toolbar (it looks like a rectangle with small squares in the corners). It might be hidden under the Move tool; if so, click and hold the Move tool to reveal other options.
- Select an Existing Artboard: Ensure you select the desired artboard in the Layers panel. This activates the artboard's handles, allowing you to resize it.
- Resize the Artboard: Click and drag the handles (the small squares) around the artboard's border to change its width and height.
2. Modifying Artboard Properties:
- Select the Artboard Layer: In the Layers panel, select the specific artboard layer you want to resize.
- Access the Properties Panel: You may need to enable the Properties panel by going to Window > Properties. If the properties aren't specific to the Artboard after selecting the layer, try double-clicking the artboard layer.
- Edit Dimensions: In the Properties panel, you should see fields for Width (W) and Height (H). Enter your desired dimensions directly into these fields.
Additional Tips:
- Creating New Artboards: With the Artboard tool selected, you can click and drag on the canvas to create a new artboard. Alternatively, you can click the "+" button in the properties panel (or near the artboard itself when selected) to add a new artboard with the same dimensions as the currently selected one.
- Deleting Artboards: You can delete an artboard just like any other layer in the Layers panel (right-click and choose "Delete" or select the layer and press the Delete key).
- Renaming Artboards: Double-click the name of the artboard layer in the Layers panel to rename it.
- Artboard Management: Use the Layers panel to manage and organize your artboards effectively. Ensure you select the correct artboard before making changes.
By using these methods, you can easily adjust the size of your artboards in Photopea to fit your design needs.
