Is there a way to fit an image, vector, or object to the size of the artboard? I know you can do the opposite, where the artboard adjusts to the selected object, but I need to do the reverse. Thanks a lot for any answers.

You could check out the Fit Selection to Artboard script: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Item.md#fitselectiontoartboards

I just found a very useful and simple script. Check it out

@Hanschrs I would recommend the script Monika posted because I believe it handles clipping masks correctly.

Hi @Hanschrs,

I usually just select the object (or object group) and use the transform panel to key in the artboard size. Click on the chain link to keep your object scaling proportionately.
