Resize your design page to a standard or custom size

On the toolbar above the editor, click Settings.

Under the first section, Page Resize, use the drop-down menu to change the page size to reflect the dimensions of one of the following standard page types:

  • Letter

  • Legal

  • Tabloid

  • A3

  • A4

  • A5

A design canvas is open in the Venngage Editor, with the heading COVID-19 Tips for K-12 Schools and various icons and paragraphs with subheadings relating to this topic. The design canvas is a letter-sized page in portrait orientation. A user selects Settings from the top toolbar and a menu opens; the first section in the menu is Page Resize. The user clicks 'Scale content on resize' under this heading and then clicks on a drop-down menu where the current page size, Letter, appears. The menu includes the standard page sizes Letter, Legal, Tabloid, A3, A4 and A5; the user clicks on 'Legal'. The design canvas changes to reflect the longer page size, but the design elements stay the same size and are aligned on the design canvas to fit the new page size.

 

Click on the page size and your design page will be resized, allowing you to rearrange the elements on your design on the canvas in a way that reflects the larger or smaller canvas size.

 

VENNGAGE MAKES IT EASY

Business and Enterprise users can automatically update 
their design with the "Scale Contents" feature, which
resizes everything on your design canvas automatically.

Just check the box next to "Scale content on resize"
and choose a standard page size from the drop-down menu.

The user checks the 'Scale content on resize' box and then clicks the drop-down with a list of standard page sizes, changing the size of the page from Legal to Letter. The option to undo the change appears next to the page size drop-down when the change is made.

 

Custom Page Size

On the toolbar above the editor, click Settings.

Under Custom Page Size, the second section, use the up and down arrows (▲ and ▼) or type your custom numbers into the Width and Height boxes.

A design canvas is open in the Venngage Editor, with the heading COVID-19 Tips for K-12 Schools and various icons and paragraphs with subheadings relating to this topic. The design canvas is a letter-sized page in portrait orientation. A user selects Settings from the top toolbar and a menu opens; the second section in the menu is Custom Page Size. Under the heading are three fields with numbers that reflect the Width, Height and Unit of the page size. The user changes the numbers under Width and Heigh. Under Unit, the user clicks the drop-down and chooses px, which represents pixels, from the options which also include inches (in) and centimeters (cm). Under the Page Resize section, which is the heading above the Custom Page size section, the page type changes from Letter to Custom Size to reflect the changes the user has made. On the design canvas, the page has a smaller width and some of the design elements have shifted.

 

Use the Unit drop-down menu to designate the measure of your design page's custom dimensions:

  • px (pixels)

  • in (inches)

  • cm (centimeters)

VENNGAGE MAKES IT EASY

Use pixels when designing infographics, presentations
or other content that will be shared or viewed on a screen.

Use inches and centimeters for materials that you plan
to print, to ensure you have the right size.

 

Change the orientation of your design page.

On the toolbar above the editor, click Settings.

Under Custom Page Size, use the Portrait and Landscape icons to change the orientation of your design page, clicking on the one you'd like to use.

Undo changes you've made to your design page size or orientation

The option to Undo changes to your design pages size will appear as soon as you make changes to the size or orientation in the Settings. 

A design canvas is open in the Venngage Editor, with the heading COVID-19 Tips for K-12 Schools and various icons and paragraphs with subheadings relating to this topic. A user selects Settings from the top toolbar and the menu opens. Under the first section, Page Resize, a grey 'Undo' button appears next to a drop-down menu of page sizes. The page size is listed as 'Custom', as the user has changed the dimensions of the design canvas using the Custom Page Size tool. The user clicks the Undo button. The page size listed under the Page Resize section in the Settings menu changes from Custom to Letter, and the design canvas shifts, becoming wider and fitting the content on the page.

 

Click the grey Undo button beside the drop-down menu of standard page sizes under Page Resize.

VENNGAGE MAKES IT EASY

Make as many changes to the dimensions of your page
as you want in a design session. The "Undo" feature
of the Page Resize tool lets you revert back to the original 
dimensions for as long as you continue
working on you design.

When you get it right, autosave will make sure 
your page stays that size; if you log out and
log back in to continue working on your design, 
the last dimensions saved will be treated as
the original dimensions.
