The canvas size is infinite.

However, you can create a frame, so you can draw for a certain resolution, using the "Edit Frame" toolbar icon (or via menu in File >> Edit Frame), setting the desired size and enabling it.



You can still draw outside the frame, the view will just be obscured.

When you use File >> Export, while the frame is enabled, it will export the image inside the frame. If you disable the frame, it will export the area on which there is paint.

allows you to control how big your document is, and this has a "Crop
to Document" command. The image size can be adjusted in pixels, mm, or
other units.

The canvas is still infinite, however.
