Canva has filed a patent for a computer implemented method that involves selecting elements on a design page and determining whether they should be resized based on the position of a particular edge relative to a particular bleed. If resizing is necessary, the selected elements are resized to cover a greater portion of the design page.

Method for resizing elements on a design page
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230244421A1) describes a computer implemented method for resizing elements on a design page. The method involves selecting an element on the page and determining whether it should be resized based on the position of a particular edge relative to a defined bleed for the page. If it is determined that the element should be resized, it is resized to cover a greater portion of the design page than it originally covered.
The resizing process also includes ensuring that the element covers a greater portion of the particular bleed than it originally did. This ensures that the element extends beyond the defined bleed area.
The determination of whether an element should be resized takes into account the position of a focal corner of the particular edge within the page area and the distance between this focal corner and the outer edge of the particular bleed. If the distance is within a corner separation threshold distance, it is determined that the element should be resized. The resizing is done in a way that the focal corner is on or outside the outer edge of the particular bleed.
In addition, the patent describes a computer processing system that includes a processing unit, a communication interface, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The system is capable of performing the method described above, which involves selecting an element on a design page, determining whether it should be resized based on the position of a particular edge relative to a defined bleed, and resizing the element to cover a greater portion of the design page.
The system also ensures that the element covers a greater portion of the particular bleed than it originally did. The determination of whether an element should be resized takes into account the position of a focal corner of the particular edge within the page area and the distance between this focal corner and the outer edge of the particular bleed. The resizing is done in a way that the focal corner is on or outside the outer edge of the particular bleed.
Overall, this patent describes a computer implemented method and system for resizing elements on a design page, ensuring that they cover a greater portion of the page and the defined bleed area. This technology could be useful in various design applications, allowing for more precise control over the resizing of elements.
