Base Box around object too big

[KarenMann]

I'm new to Affinity design but have been able to figure it out pretty well; until now.  The issue is the Base Box that is created around the item that I have downloaded in Affinity is bigger than the item so when I go to print the item it is smaller than I want as the dimensions of the base box is being printed and not the object dimensions.  Why isn't the base box the same size as the object.  I would appreciate you help you can give me.

Thank you

I reckon there must be a few stray pixels around the image that you can’t see making the bounding box appear bigger than it should be

If you've downloaded this image then it will be the size that the image was created at, with whatever transparent area around it that it was designed to have. Affinity does not create a bounding box. Just crop off the area that you don't want.
