Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 7:14 pm

Illustrator is a great tool for creating layouts and graphics for your website or project. However, if you need to resize the artboard or content on your page, there are a few ways to do it.

One way to resize the artboard is to use the Free Transform tool. To do this, first select the artboard or content you want to resize, and then click the Free Transform button located in the toolbar.

Illustrator will then display the Free Transform dialog box.

To resize the artboard, you can either use the resize handles located on the corners or sides of the artboard, or you can enter a new size in the Width and Height fields of the Free Transform dialog box. You can also use the change proportions button to change the scaling of the artboard.

PRO TIP: When resizing the artboard and content in Illustrator, be careful not to distort the content. If you want to resize both the artboard and content, hold down the Shift key while you drag a corner handle.

If you need to resize the content on your page, you can do so by clicking and dragging the content to a new location on the artboard. You can also use the Free Transform tool to resize the content, or you can use the resize handles located on the corners or sides of the artboard.

If you need to resize the content in multiple places on the artboard, you can use the Arrange grid buttons to organize the content.

Finally, you can also use the crop tool to resize the content on the artboard. To do this, first select the content you want to crop, and then use the crop tool to select the area you want to keep.

You can then use the resize handles to resize the content.
