How To Resize In Canva
Welcome to Ben’s Experience! In this blog post, we will explore how to resize elements in Canva, a popular graphic design tool that allows users to create stunning visuals with ease.
Getting Started with Canva
First, visit Canva.com to create your account or log in. For this tutorial, let’s create a new design. A great starting point is an Instagram post, which provides a square template perfect for resizing.
Resizing Text in Canva
To resize text in Canva, there are two main options you can use. The first is by utilizing the minus and plus icons located on the toolbar. This is a straightforward method to increase or decrease the size of your text.
The second option is even more intuitive: click and hold the little circles on the corners of the text box. By dragging these circles, you can easily resize the text while maintaining its proportions.
Resizing Photos in Canva
To resize a photo in Canva, first, add the image you want to use. Once your photo is in place, click on one of the corner circles. This allows you to adjust the photo’s size—simply drag to make the image larger or smaller.
Undoing Actions
If you make a mistake or wish to revert a resizing action, Canva has a handy undo feature. Click the undo icon on the toolbar or use the keyboard shortcuts: Command + Z on Mac or Control + Z on PC.
