Design Generator Walkthrough

Easily create multi-size static or animated designs at once with the Design Generator. Save time and keep your campaigns consistent.

Updated this week

The Design Generator allows you to create multiple static or animated design sizes simultaneously, using the same content. This saves time and ensures consistency across campaigns for display ads, social media visuals, or other multi-size creative needs.

Getting Started with the Design Generator

Step 1: Access the Generator

  1. Click Create new.

  2. Select Design set.

  3. Choose the sizes you want to include.

  4. Pick a template or start from scratch.

Step 2: Work with Layers

If you start from a template, you’ll see multiple layers in the Layers panel on the left side. Each layer corresponds to an element in your designs, and edits will apply across all selected sizes.

Adding New Elements

Use the New Layer button in the Layers section to add:

  • Images

  • Shapes

  • Text

  • Icons

  • Other design elements

Each element can be adjusted for position, color, and size. For detailed structural edits, you’ll need to switch to Focus Mode.

Using Focus Mode

Double-click on a specific size to enter Focus Mode. This lets you:

  • Fine-tune individual layouts

  • Adjust placements for unique orientations (e.g., square vs. vertical)

  • Tailor designs to specific campaign needs

Generate Sets from a Single Design

You can also generate a multi-size set from one existing design using Smart Resize.

Key Notes

  • The Design Generator is designed to create multiple sizes of the same design, not entirely different designs.

  • You can save time and maintain brand consistency by using templates and Smart Resize.

  • We are exploring ways to expand the Generator’s capabilities, but at this time, multi-design generation is not available.
