Already have a static creative you like, but need it in a different format? Resize lets you adapt the same image to different sizes without creating a new creative from scratch.
You can choose up to 6 formats at once, including standard sizes or your own custom dimensions. Each selected format is generated as a separate creative.
Note: Resize works with static images only. Videos aren’t supported.
Here’s how to do it.
Tap the folder icon at the bottom to open Image ads, then use filters and select Image to narrow your results.
Find the image you’d like to resize. Tap the three dots in the lower-right corner of the image (inside the light gray circle). A menu will appear with available actions — choose Resize.
The Image resizer opens with a preview of your creative. Its current aspect ratio and dimensions appear below the preview.
Select up to six formats. Zeely creates a separate static creative for every format you choose.
The standard options are:9:16, 1080 × 1920 px, for Stories and vertical ads
1:1, 1080 × 1080 px, for posts, ads, and marketplaces
4:5, 1080 × 1350 px, for feed posts and ads
2:3, 1080 × 1620 px, for Pinterest pins and tall ads
16:9, 1920 × 1080 px, for YouTube and display ads
To use your own dimensions, select Custom and enter the width and height. Each dimension must be between 256 and 2048 pixels, and the proportions cannot exceed 3:1. If the dimensions are too wide, too tall, or match a format you have already selected, the app will ask you to adjust them.
A selected format is outlined in black and marked with a check. The Resize button shows the total credit cost for your selection, so you can review it before continuing.
Tap Resize. After you start the resize, you’ll return to Projects. Your new creative will appear there while it’s being generated.
If you resize an image into several formats, each result is created separately. If one format is ready first, you can use it while the others are still generating.
If one format fails to generate, your other successful results won’t be canceled. The credits for the failed format are returned.
Resize and Create variations serve different purposes
Use Resize when you already like a creative and want to adapt it to another aspect ratio or set of dimensions. Zeely keeps the creative’s main idea and rearranges its composition to work in the new format.
Use Create variations when you want Zeely to explore different versions of the creative, such as changes to its text, visual, audience, style, or composition.
With the image resizer, you can prepare one creative for several ad placements directly in Zeely instead of recreating it or moving it to another design tool.
