Changing canvas settings to HD resolution

hi Guys,

i have changed my current page to HD resolution:


the case is that all my visuals are too small right now. How to adjust them automatically or using selection to changed canvas size?

Best,
Jacek

 

 

  • Hey jaryszek ,

    You've changed your Power BI canvas size to Full HD (1920×1080), but your visuals appear too small now. Here's how you can scale and adjust visuals efficiently:

    Option 1: Use "Ctrl + A" + Manual Resize

    1. Select all visuals:

      • Click on a blank area of the report canvas.

      • Press Ctrl + A to select all visuals.

    2. Group them (optional):

      • Right-click → Group → “Group” (this keeps their relative positions).

    3. Resize as a group:

      • Use the corner drag handles to proportionally scale them up.

      • Hold Shift while resizing to maintain aspect ratio if needed.

    Option 2: Use the “Selection” and “Format” Pane

    If you want to scale visuals uniformly and precisely:

    1. Open Selection pane (View tab → Selection).

    2. Open Format pane.

    3. Select each visual and adjust the size (width/height) and position (X/Y) in increments.

    This is tedious for many visuals but allows pixel-perfect control.

    Option 3: Use JSON Theme for Padding & Scaling

    "visualStyles": {
      "*": {
        "*": {
          "general": [
            {
              "responsive": true,
              "padding": {
                "top": "10px",
                "bottom": "10px"
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
