Why a resize looks wrong or was rejected
What to do when an adapted layout looks off, and why a size or extraSizes request can be rejected
Published Jun 14, 2026
The layout looks off at a new size#
Big aspect-ratio changes (a square design stretched to a tall story, or a wide banner) stay safe, but elements can land small or loosely spaced. Fix it in Studio: open Smart Resize, then either use Adjust Variant to nudge the layout by hand, or ⋯ → Recompose with AI for a fresh pass. Fine-tune a resized layout walks through both.
A saved size always renders exactly as you arranged it — an unsaved size falls back to automatic adaptation, so save the sizes you care about.
A size was rejected when adding it#
When adding a size in Studio:
- Width and height must each be between 10 and 5000px.
- A size that exactly matches one already in the list is skipped.
- A template can hold up to 24 sizes.
An API request failed#
sizemust be a preset slug (e.g.instagram-story) or"WIDTHxHEIGHT". For explicit pixels, sendwidth+heighttogether instead.extraSizesworks on image formats only —png,jpg,webp,avif. On a PDF or video format it returns an error (and it isn't supported on templates with flowing elements).
