# Snap to Canvas

If this option is enabled, when you move a selection or a layer, they appear to pull on the canvas edges when it approaches. This is useful for accurate placement of image elements.

Canvas edges are usually mingled with image edges: the canvas has, then, the same size as the image. But you can change canvas size in Image Canvas Size .
