How do I auto resize a canvas in Photoshop?

Published in Photoshop Canvas Resize 1 min read

You can't automatically resize a canvas to fit an image in Photoshop, but you can use several methods to achieve a similar result. Here are two options:

1. Use the "Fit to Canvas" option when placing an image:

  • Go to Edit > Preferences > General and check the box that says "Resize Image During Place."
  • When you place an image, it will automatically resize to fit your canvas.

2. Utilize the "Reveal All" and "Trim" tools:

  • Reveal All: Use the Image > Reveal All command to extend your canvas to include the entire image.
  • Trim: Use the Image > Trim command to reduce the canvas size to just the visible parts of the image.

You can also manually resize your canvas by selecting Image > Canvas Size. This gives you more control but does not automate the process.
