Why does my SVG upload huge (or tiny) in Design Space?

An SVG carries the page size it was made on, so it can arrive much bigger or smaller than you expect. Nothing is wrong with the file.

The fix

  1. 1Select the uploaded design.
  2. 2Check the lock next to W and H is closed.
  3. 3Type the width you need in inches and press Enter.
  4. 4Check against the Canvas grid: each square is one inch.
