The size of the canvas of a genially can be modified. This option is especially useful for creations that are started from scratch, or in other words, for ones that don't use a template.

Here are the steps to follow:

1.  Open the Editor of your creation.
    

  

2.  Click the main menu located at the top left corner of your screen. Inside, you’ll find the **Resize** option.
    

  

3.  A sidebar will appear on the right with different options: **horizontal, mobile, infographic, or square card**. When you select any of these formats, the layout of your creation will automatically update on all pages.
    

  

4.  If none of these options meet your needs, click **Custom**. The **Maintain proportions** setting will be enabled by default. With this option, you only need to change either the width or the height. The other value will adjust automatically to keep the proportions. Disable this option if you need to enter exact dimensions for both width and height.
    

  

A couple of tips:

  

Define the canvas size **before you start editing and designing your creation**, since resizing will require you to manually reposition all inserted elements.

  

If you need to change the canvas size later, use **multi-selection** to adjust all elements on each page to fit the new workspace.
