How Do I Resize an Image in Canva Without Cropping?

Last updated on February 12, 2023 @ 8:41 pm

There are times when you want to use an image in a project, but the size just isn’t right. Maybe it’s too big and you need to make it smaller, or vice versa. In Canva, you can easily resize your images without cropping them.

To resize an image in Canva:

1. Click on the image you want to resize.

2. Click and drag on one of the four (4) circular pill handles on the image’s edge to resize the image.

NOTE: Dragging on the rectangular (with rounded corners) pill handles on the image’s side will result in cropping the image.

3. Place the resized image in your design properly.

It’s that simple! Now you can use images that are the perfect size for your project.

PRO TIP: If you are trying to resize an image in Canva without cropping, it is important to know that this may result in the image being distorted.
