Is there no way to adjust Canvas Size on Photoshop for Web?

I just started using Photoshop for the Web so I can avoid installing it on my smaller laptop, and there seems to be no way to adjust the Canvas Size of an image. The design is a lot different, so I may be missing something, but I've looked everywhere.

 

Is anyone else having this issue?

Correct answer Jeff Arola

Looks like you can use the Crop Tool under Size & position to change the Canvas Size.

Just move the crop handles outside the image or enter values to increase the canvas size in the Width and Height fields.

 

I don't see a specific Canvas Size command like in Photoshop proper.

This should have been a featured from the start, but apparently is not that important that Adobe hasn't updated the Web app in ages.. I work with Linux and sometimes I just need to update small images, I don't want to have to restart into Windows just to make small edits.

I've been searching for the past hour. On top of everything else, just finding this page was a hassle. The ability to adjust canvas size with dimension input should be given.

Honestly, this is a fairly massive ommission and the workaround is ridiculously non-intuitive.

100% agree! It's awful. I had directions for my students today done in the desktop app thinking that the web app would be about the same. Terrible mistake on the part of a teacher.
