Changing canvas settings to HD resolution
- 1 year ago
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
Select all visuals:
Click on a blank area of the report canvas.
Press Ctrl + A to select all visuals.
Group them (optional):
Right-click → Group → “Group” (this keeps their relative positions).
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:
Open Selection pane (View tab → Selection).
Open Format pane.
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" } } ] } } }For More Information:
