# How to Constrain Proportions on a Shape or Zone

Constrain Proportions is an option that allows you to maintain the aspect ratio (height to width ratio) of a zone or shape in a Project. With Constrain Proportions enabled, elements will not be stretched either vertically or horizontally. 

Additionally, all images and videos will be automatically constrained, as well as zones or shapes where the position has been locked.

**To constrain the proportions of a zone or shape, follow these steps:**

1. Select the element to constrain
2. Check the Constrain Proportions checkbox in the left menu
