Page Setup

  • Auto Size: If you select the Auto Size checkbox, Edraw.AI will scale the content of the diagram to fit within the orientation and size of your chosen paper size. It can be useful if you're unsure about the exact dimensions you need.
  • Predefined: This option allows you to choose from a set of predefined page sizes. Select the page size that best suits your diagram's intended use. You can choose from Statement, #10 Envelope, Monarch Envelope, Tabloid, Letter Small, C Sheet, D Sheet, E Sheet, A3, and more.
  • Custom: This option gives you control over the page dimensions. Enter the width and height in pixels, inches, centimeters, or other units supported by the online tool in the textbox.
  • Orientation: This determines whether the page is displayed in Portrait (taller than wide) or Landscape (wider than tall) mode.
  • Unit: This specifies the measurement unit used for page dimensions. Edraw.AI supports several measurement units such as millimeter, yard, mile, pica, and more.
