## Resize Graphic Assets

Select a graphic element, drag the circular handles on its bounding box to resize. A graphic asset can be scaled two ways inside the element box. You can edit the graphic scaling mode from the graphic property panel on the right side of the page.

**Stretch Mode** scales the graphic to fill entire element box. The graphic might lose its original aspect ratio.

**Preserve Mode** keeps the graphic its original aspect ratio inside the element box and won't be stretched or cropped. The graphic will always be placed in the center of the element box.

**Double click on one of the handles** to revert the graphic to its original aspect ratio.
