The Smart Resize: Instantly Adapt Your Designs to Any Size

Learn how to use the Smart Resize feature to instantly resize your designs for multiple formats.

Updated this week

Resizing designs for different platforms and formats can be time-consuming—but with Smart Resize, you can instantly scale your work to multiple sizes with just one click. Whether you need social media graphics, display ads, or custom dimensions, Smart Resize keeps your design layout intact while adapting it perfectly to new sizes.

How Smart Resize Works

The Smart Resize algorithm automatically adjusts every layer of your design to fit new dimensions while preserving alignments, spacing, and visual hierarchy.

To resize your design:

  1. Click the Resize button in the editor.

  2. Select from predefined templates for display ads and social media, or create your own custom sizes.

  3. Choose whether to scale layers proportionally or keep them at their original size.

You can also access Smart Resize from the Background tab for quick resizing.

Creating Multiple Sizes at Once

If you need a design set—for example, multiple banner ad sizes—Smart Resize can generate them automatically from one base design.

Steps to create a design set:

  1. Select multiple sizes from the list of templates or add custom sizes.

  2. Define reference layouts for your set.

  3. Let the Smart Resize algorithm adapt your design to each dimension, maintaining core elements while adjusting layouts and transitions for a perfect fit.
