Wixel: Changing the Frame Size

Frame presets ensure your design is formatted for the platform or purpose you’re creating for, like social media posts, prints, or custom layouts. By using presets, you save time and avoid guesswork, as the dimensions are optimized to meet common standards (e.g. Instagram Post 1080 x 1080 pixels)

Yes, you can enter a custom frame width and height in the text fields at the top of the panel. Use custom sizes for projects with specific dimensions not covered by presets, like custom posters. On the desktop browser, you can also click and drag the frame to adjust its size.

Tip: Enable the lock icon next to the custom size fields to maintain the design’s proportions. When locked, the width and height scale together automatically to prevent distortion.

Think of the frame size as the ‘outer container’ and the design size as the content inside it. Adjusting the frame changes the dimensions of the canvas surrounding your design, while adjusting the design size changes the size of the elements within the frame, like images or text.

Absolutely. You can adjust the frame size anytime, and your design adjusts automatically to fit the new dimensions.
