yoo man. 235 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hello. I know this is a simple question but I can't find the answer online or in the toolbar. How can I clear my canvas to how it was upon creating it (i.e. a white background) without starting a whole new project? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hello @yoo man. 235 and welcome You could use Ctrl A and Ctrl X to clear the canvas and have a new transparent layer. But, if you mean clearing numerous layers, the quickest way is to go to File > New, and you'll get a new window open up with the white background.. 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Thanks Assuming you have multiple layers: Ctrl + F (Flatten) Ctrl + A (select All) Shift + Backspace (Fill with Secondary color where the default = White) If you have only a single layer you can omit step #1.
