There’s no point to resizing images with Affinity Designer if they only exist in Affinity Designer. Step 4: Export your resized image using the Export Persona This will get rid of the old page border and apply a new canvas that is sized based on the dimensions of your newly-resized image: By default, your new artboard will be titled “Artboard 1”. Change the Size dropdown menu to Selection and then click the Insert Artboard button: Once selected, look towards the top of the screen where the tool options menu is. Before grabbing the Artboards Tool though, make sure that you still have your image selected. To do this, we’ll be using the Artboards Tool, which can be accessed just below the Move Tool in the tools menu. Although you may have scaled down your image, the document boundaries are still set to the original image’s dimensions. Once you’re finished resizing your image, you’ll have to change the size of the canvas (or “artboard” as it’s called) to accommodate the newly-resized image. Step 3: Change the size of your artboard to match the resized image If you’d like to distort your image then leave it disabled. Make sure to enable the Lock Aspect Ratio icon to the right if you’d like to ensure that your image is not distorted as it is resized. The W value represents the width of the image and the H value represent its height. If you’d like to resize your image based on a specific numerical value, you can do so using the Transform menu, which is located at the bottom-right corner of your screen: The Transform menu is located in the bottom-right corner of the screen, and it allows you to resize an image based on a specific numerical value. If you’d like to distort the image, simply hold the Shift key while scaling. This ensures that you do not distort your image. To resize an image with Affinity Designer all you have to do is grab one of those handles to scale it up or down: After resizing your image, you’ll notice a checkerboard pattern in the space that the original image occupied.īy default, your image will scale with the aspect ratio locked in place. Once the layer is unlocked, you should notice round handles in the corners of your image. However, we must unlock the layer in order to do so.Ĭlick the little lock icon next to your image layer’s name in the Layers menu: Your layer must be unlocked before you’ll be able to resize it. Once we’ve opened our image, we’ll be using the Move Tool to resize it. Step 2: Resize your image using the Move Tool Do not import your image into an already existing document, otherwise this tutorial might not work as expected.
It is recommended that you open your image as a new document, using the Open prompt, as suggested above.
