Resize Canvas
Repurpose videos faster and make them look more professional with our Resize Canvas feature! In just a few clicks, you can take a single video and adjust it to be the right size for every other platform, whether it's for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, or somewhere else. Simply upload your existing video, click the canvas, then click the "Resize Canvas" option on the right side. Choose your video's new size and adjust how it'll look. You just made multiple videos from one!
Bug Fixes & Improvements 🛠
- Audio waveform styles shown – we now show the available styles for audio waveforms within the Templates tab
- Drag and drop content into placeholders – placeholders are now found in the Templates tab instead of the Settings tab. You can also add content into the placeholder by dragging and dropping the new asset into it.
- Resizable left sidebar – the left sidebar in the editor is now resizable so you can make it as wide or narrow as you want! Hover over the right edge of the sidebar and drag to your desired width.
- Improved Google Photos integration – we made it easier for you to connect to your Google Photos account from the Media sidebar so you can view and add those assets in your Kapwing projects.
Pricing Changes 💳

- Free users can preview the Remove Background feature for images but not export – free users can use our automatic Remove Background feature for images in the editor at no cost, but exporting the project requires upgrading to our Pro plan.
