How to Change the Canvas Size in Sketchbook

Published in SketchBook Tutorials 2 mins read

Changing the canvas size in Sketchbook involves accessing the "Image" menu, selecting "Canvas size," and adjusting the dimensions and anchor point according to your needs.

Here is a simple guide based on the standard process:

Steps to Resize Your Canvas

To modify the dimensions of your existing canvas in Sketchbook, follow these steps:

  1. Access the Menu: In the toolbar at the top of the Sketchbook interface, select Image. From the dropdown menu that appears, choose Canvas size.
  2. Adjust Dimensions: A dialog box will open. Adjust the Width and Height of the image by changing the numeric values in the provided boxes. You can input specific pixel values or other units depending on the interface options.
  3. Set Anchor Point: Choose the anchor point for the adjustment. This determines where the existing content on your canvas will be positioned relative to the new canvas size. For example, setting the anchor to the center means the existing content stays centered as the canvas expands or contracts around it. Choosing a corner means the existing content stays fixed to that corner.
  4. Confirm Changes: Tap OK to apply the new canvas size to your drawing.

Following these steps will resize your current drawing area in Sketchbook, allowing you to expand or crop your artwork as needed.
