Problem

Instagram production gets repetitive fast

Instagram campaigns require different framing strategies depending on whether the asset is going into feed, story, or reel placements.

Smart Resize gives designers a faster way to create Instagram ad sizes in Photoshop while keeping every output attached to the same editable campaign system.

  • Feed crops and full-screen vertical placements need different composition decisions.
  • Campaign refreshes multiply the work across every placement variant.
  • Teams lose time checking whether every exported version still reflects the same campaign hierarchy.

Automated workflow

Create Instagram-ready batches from one workflow

Smart Resize helps teams use source masters for the key orientations they already need, then generate the requested Instagram placements from the same mapped layer system.

That makes it easier to keep stories, reels, and feed assets aligned while still allowing manual polish where needed.

  • Support feed, square, story, and reel outputs from one campaign system
  • Keep PSD files editable for caption, CTA, or offer changes
  • Reduce repetitive social adaptation work in Photoshop
  • Scale Instagram production with clearer review and delivery

Manual method

  1. Step 1

    Build separate PSD files for feed, square, and vertical placements.

  2. Step 2

    Reframe product, typography, and CTA layers for each placement individually.

  3. Step 3

    Export the delivery files and repeat the process when the campaign changes.

Where Smart Resize helps

  • Organic and paid campaign rollout with consistent creative
