Fit Object/Image/Vector to Artboard Size

[Hanschrs]

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.

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.

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.
