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#

  • size must be a preset slug (e.g. instagram-story) or "WIDTHxHEIGHT". For explicit pixels, send width + height together instead.
  • extraSizes works on image formats onlypng, jpg, webp, avif. On a PDF or video format it returns an error (and it isn't supported on templates with flowing elements).
