Offset a vector path

You can use offset vector to change a vector layer’s size by adding or removing space evenly around its edges. This is useful for creating icons, illustrations, logos, and more.

Offset vector is a destructive action, meaning that once a vector layer is offset, you won’t be able to revert it back to the original shape. If you offset a vector by mistake, you can use the file’s version history to restore a previous version or use the undo shortcut:

• Mac: Command Z
• Windows: Ctrl Z

Offset a vector layer

You can use offset vector on any vector layer.

1. Select the vector layer you wish to modify.
2. Click Offset vector and configure the settings:
   • Amount: Use this to control the offset distance. A positive number extends the path beyond the original shape. A negative number contracts the path inside the original shape.
   • Join: Choose between a square or round join style.
3. Click the check or press Enter to confirm the change.
