When you are happy with the new size, you can click Apply to apply the changes and close the Resize properties window. There is an option to maintain aspect ratio when resizing the canvas and at the bottom you can choose to set the resize values in either pixels or as a percentage. You can set the 'anchor' point for the resize using the directional arrows then set the size value. Resize Canvas: This option will resize the draw canvas to the new size without scaling the contents.Depending on the type of image you are working with you may also want to enable linear interpolation or not (in general, linear interpolation will 'smooth' pixels over an area and so is best left off for pixel art). You can choose to scale and maintain the aspect ratio of the base image, and you can also choose whether to scale in Pixels or in Percentage. Scale Image: With this option you can resize the sprite draw canvas and any images contained on the sprite will be stretched and scaled to fit the new size.

Here you can see a preview of the sprite before and after applying the chosen transforms, and the section below is for setting the new sprite properties and is split into two parts: In this section you can set the image size by clicking the Sprite Size button.
