The Fit Canvas to Layers command adapts the canvas size (that is, the drawing area) to the size of the largest layer in the image, in both width and height.

When you create or open an image, the canvas size is defined as the image size and remains unchanged if you add new layers. If you add a layer larger than the canvas, only the area limited by the canvas will be visible. To show the whole layer, use this command.

#### 9.12.1. Activate the command

- You can access this command from the image menubar through Image → Fit Canvas to Layers.
