Canvas Size

Click New in the top row or the File tab. The New Image dialog lets you set the width and height in pixels.

Quick sizes:

  • Current: the size of the image you have open.
  • Fit: fits your window.
  • Oversize: a bit larger than your window, so you have room to work.
  • Square, Landscape (4:3), and Portrait (3:4).

The Ratio list has more formats: Screen, Video 16:9, 3:2, 5:3, 2:1, DIN Paper √2:1, and their portrait versions.

Background: white, black, transparent, your primary color, or your secondary color. Pick transparent if you want to export a PNG without a background.

The maximum canvas size is 2048 × 2048 pixels. If you import a larger image, Kleki scales it down. See Limits.

These are in the Edit tab:

  • Crop/Extend: cut off edges, or add empty space around the image.
  • Resize: scale the whole image. Use Pixelated for pixel art.
  • Rotate: turn the whole image by 90°.

You can also press Ctrl + C, drag over the area you want to keep, and click Apply Crop.
