How to remove negative space from a scaled image

[zico_aqua]

Hi All,

I'm still learning GIMP so help will be appreciated. 

So, I created an image on Canva - sized 5000*5000px and uploaded it in GIMP to rescale to it to 10000*10000px. now, after scaling the print size area shows 33.33*33.33 in (300 DPI) including my graphics. The issue is my graphic is not 33.33 inches rather its smaller than that. I want to somehow eliminate the negative space that's coming up on both sides and just cut out and save just my image part. How do I do that? My ideal size of actual graphic file that I need is 14*14 inch which can be printed on Tshirts.

reason for doing so - my apparel print provider will charge me for entire 33.33*33.33 inches and that's a loss for me. A quick response will be appreciated.

Regards

Your file is in pixels not inches - the size in inches is determined at print time by the resolution used by the printer.

If the printing is at 300 dpi and you need 14"x14" then should you not have scaled the image down (to 4200x4200 px) rather than up to 10000?

Ok - I got it!! there is an option called as Crop to Content. That solved the problem
