Fit Image to Canvas Automatically in Photoshop

Is there a "Fit to Canvas" option in Photoshop? Of course, there is! But it's named differently. Learn how to automatically resize and fit images to canvas in Photoshop. In this tutorial, we'll explore ways to not only import, resize and fit your images to the given canvas automatically but also learn to fit canvas to the image! Looking at strategies to handle very huge images on a small canvas or vice versa, this video covers all you need to know about automatic and manual resizing in Photoshop.
Unlike other Adobe applications like InDesign, etc. Photoshop does not exactly have such an option that allows you to fit anything to canvas. However, there exists something very similar if you add the images a little differently. That's what we are going to talk about in this Photoshop tutorial. Hope this video helps you!

[@jamesrumbaugh9859]

Thank you !!!!!!!!! Struggling with this when I realized I didn't have the correct dimensions for my ebook cover. Now I do, thanks to you.

[@GavinSeim]

This still gives us no way to size an existing layer to the canvas. I've been searching for years and can't find a way to automate this. It's so dumb that in 2018 Photoshop cant size a layer to the canvas it resides in.

[@eklor]

Yeah right... I was waiting him to show what the title actually says but all along it was just other things explained... I mean he even trims the canvas to the object size... which is the opposite of what the title says the video is about...

[@antwango]

maybe its not photoshop being dumb?

[@rikstone7059]

Surely that would distort the original image.

[@Doctor_Straing_Strange]

I have tried everything and I can't find a simple way to make an image BIGGER, fucking microsoft paint can do it in an instant, what the actual fuck

[@STUDIOLEX]

Although the dude is OK he does not read this comments.... In 2021 still no clue how to do such a way to size an image to canvas (After Effects has this for years) Final Cut has it's fill command. Frustrating 10 minutes....

[@thegreedyvegan446]

You're amazing. Thank you so much for your tutorials.

[@frankcich1423]

Unmesh, another great practical tutorial. Thank you so much!

[@russelltan5954]

what is the link of this software i keep getting adobe photoshop express

[@jburns47]

I know this is three years old but you just helped me enormously. Thank you. At about 6’20” you have a cropping solution that maintains aspect ratio of canvas. Will this work with a selection of linked layers also?

[@harrybaules]

that last part about fitting canvas to photo is exactly what I needed. thank you for your helpful videos.

[@sunsetpoet-songwriter8323]

Excellent video. Excellent sequencing. Excellent clarity. Thanks.

[@agniria]

Thanks for the tutorial! Also, is there a shortcut for making a smaller image fit bigger canvas? (i know i will lose quality but this is only for a reference image)

[@leslirodriguezbendezu1497]

Eres todo un maestro me da ganas de pagarte todo lo que me estas enseñado , ya le puse like. Te escribo en español porque quiero que sepas que también te seguimos desde latinoamerica.

[@DontYouThink_Its_Time-INC]

stupid utubers

[@duttiandjoyce]

Nice & Informative. Keep Going. I am expecting more from you

[@soixantecroissants]

Nice and simple and well explained. Cheers!

[@iftekharshifat9577]

Thank you for the tutorial. Recently, I have started using autoRetouch for photo editing. Now, I can do more work by investing less time.

[@meg8891]

I really love your videos and I watch them whenever I have a question because you explain things so clearly! One thing I'm really struggling with in relation to this video, is how to reduce the canvas size without cropping the image. And when I say image, I mean multiple layers that have already been edited. I accidentally edited something with a larger canvas than I needed. Now when I reduce the canvas to the size I need, the image is cropped and I've no idea how to make the edited layers just automatically fit the smaller canvas...if anyone can help me you'll save me having to pull my hair out!

[@DeinCouseng]

I know this was one year ago but: 1. select the area you want to keep using the rectangle select tool (or whatever select tool you prefer) 2. go on "image" at the top of your screen 3. click crop

[@Poluxthefifth1]

We need to make this guy famous. Spread the news. Spread the links in every social media! Let people know this guy exists!

the *image->trim* bit was lifesaving.

[@shekharchsarkar3944]

Many thanks to you Bro you are a good Teacher .

[@joseparcerisa4859]

My friend very good explanation and clear.... Thanks for sharing.

[@ncraspa]

Great teach. Learned things I never knew.

[@0soft]

Unfortunately I still cannot find a way to do it really automatically, without any hand work, when I already have a layer that I want to fit the canvas.

[@underlondonlights2602]

amazing video. very clear and answered my question. thank you!!

[@kiloserrano8595]

very informational ! keep it up!

[@ricgor256]

nice this is very helpfull thanks

[@milk-it]

I stopped the video at the first suggestion of pasting the image onto a canvas, because this was so succinct! But I watched the rest out of respect ;-).

[@Zefrem23]

Dude if you're not a lecturer in Photoshop I suggest you become one. Your teaching skills are next-level.

[@tonyc1938]

That's what this video is

[@NealHartsChannel]

This guy is such an amazing teacher. This is just loaded with good info.

[@sajjadabouei6721]

perfect tutorial 😍

[@purnakamilindaherat6117]

Wow, you're a genius! Thanks! :D

[@frankcich1423]

Unmesh ... one question. What if you have two or multiple images you want to fit to a specific background or canvas, and maybe even separate with a small space(s) to give it more aesthetic appeal? Thank you.

[@stalinjoseph3957]

Nice teaching.. also nice sound quality...👍

[@johnlalit83]

that's wonderful friend!

[@IKARNA]

Very useful tips. Thank you so much!

[@manuelargote9017]

Thanks, good video.

[@mmravi6956]

thankyou so much sir

[@neilkellyjewellery-company]

once again i have learnt something new...

[@book-cover-designs]

This is great. Your Tutorials and explanations are always the best to learn from. You once made an action that will do all of this. I remember the action file once saved had to always remain in the same output folder (I Think). I also think that the action fit the image to the canvas without the need to use the transform tool. So, in short. Is it possible to recreate that action and how?

[@rspadmanabhan4480]

Hi I'm from India. Really helpful. God bless you brother. Thanks
