Knowing how to change the canvas size will allow you to create vector documents based on the contents of your work rather than the page size Inkscape defaults to when launched. That concludes today’s tutorial on changing the canvas size in Inkscape. Once you’ve defined your canvas size - whether it be by numerical input or fitting it to a specific object - the final step is to simply close out of the Document Properties menu and save your work. If you don’t have anything selected, then it will change the canvas size to fit the entirety of everything you’ve created so far in the document. If you’re trying to make your canvas the same size as a specific object or design, simply select your object with the Select Tool and click the button labelled “ Resize page to drawing or selection.” Use this feature to make your canvas fit an object of your choosing.īy default, the canvas size will be changed to the size of the object you have selected, and will be placed around it as well. Adding a margin to your document can be useful if you’re designing something for print and it requires a bleed. If you’re designing something for print, you can also add a bleed area to your canvas by expanding the menu that reads “Resize page to content…” From there you can manually type in your desired bleed size - or margin - for each edge. ![]()
