Another vote for this idea. We can already create cards with specific width so vertical resize by default makes sense. ---

Apparently, two years later, the problem still hasn’t been solved ---

Actually I wonder whether Canvas is still on Obsidian’s priority list or not. It hasn’t been updated for a really long time. ---

Someone mentioned > **[GitHub - Quorafind/Obsidian-Node-Auto-Resize](https://github.com/quorafind/obsidian-node-auto-resize)** > > Contribute to Quorafind/Obsidian-Node-Auto-Resize development by creating an account on GitHub. on Discord for auto-resizing of cards as you type. Thought I’d add the link here. ---

This actually solves my problem perfectly!! Surprised to find a fully functional solution near the end of the thread. ---

Recently came across this and it’s pretty good. It has Auto-resizing and you can also toggle [Auto node resizing](https://github.com/Developer-Mike/obsidian-advanced-canvas#auto-node-resizing) per card. One thing that’s missing is auto-resizing for notes from vault so I created a feature request for that. > **[GitHub - Developer-Mike/obsidian-advanced-canvas: ⚡ Supercharge your Obsidian.md canvas experience!...](https://github.com/Developer-Mike/obsidian-advanced-canvas)** > > ⚡ Supercharge your Obsidian.md canvas experience! Create presentations, flowcharts and more! * * * Update: I tried out [GitHub - Quorafind/Obsidian-Node-Auto-Resize](https://github.com/quorafind/obsidian-node-auto-resize) that was previously mentioned and it looks like it also doesn’t suport auto-resizing cards that are notes from vault. ---

Add me as a +1 for this. What I was doing: 1. Resize the card to be much larger than necessary. 2. Double-click the corner and hope for the best. (Sometimes it seems to treat this as double-clicking both the bottom and the side at the same time?) 3. If the card didn’t size down: 3.1. double-click the bottom. 3.2. double-click the side. (Side-note: often this is a one pixel hit box if the text is just one line.) 3.3. double-click the bottom again. Yes, sometimes this does reduce the size again. 4. In some cases this still produces the wrong result so manually resize to fit the content. What I am now doing: using the Advanced Canvas community plugin, which sort of does the job, although the default width of 280 is abysmally small. 400 gives me a much better result. It should probably be measured in em instead of px. [Previous page](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/auto-resizing-when-typing-into-a-new-card-in-a-canvas-note/49429.md?page=1)
