Formatting Shapes and Lines in your Visme Projects

You can format the shapes using a variety of sizing, placement, and color options available.

To change the size of the shape you are using:

Click on one of the blue dots to drag, resize and reformat the shape on your shape or icon.

The shape or icon will then be adjusted and maintain its proportion with clean and clear edges. You can see the proportion by looking on the down left corner of the screen which shows the width, height, x-axis and y-axis.

Or you can click any of the resize handles on the lateral sides of the selected element, and drag it in or out to resize.

Once you have the shape positioned and sized it as you want, you are all set

Hint: If you want the shape to be locked so the object does not go out of proportion, simply click the “Lock” in the Proportions settings. You can also right click and select Lock/Unlock in the dropdown.
