With [Ad Resizer](https://ideogram.ai/create/tool/ad-resizer), add one source image, select target ad sizes, and choose **Generate**. We recompose the creative for the selected shapes. Review every result before downloading because generated lettering and product details still need approval. ## When should you recompose an ad instead of resizing it? Proportional resizing changes pixel dimensions while keeping the original shape. Cropping removes part of the image, and stretching can distort it. A campaign needing a square feed image, full-screen vertical image, and narrow banner usually needs a different arrangement for each shape. Ad Resizer uses the source creative to generate those arrangements when an existing headline, product, and offer need to work together in a new frame. If you only need more pixels at the same proportions, use [Upscale](https://docs.ideogram.ai/edit/upscale). If final wording must remain editable, finish it in [Studio text layers](https://docs.ideogram.ai/edit/text-and-layers). ## Step 1: Prepare one clear source ad These steps describe the signed-in Ideogram app. The [Ad Resizer overview](https://ideogram.ai/tools/ad-resizer/) includes examples and a demo. Use the clearest approved creative available. Before uploading, check the brand name, price, offer dates, and call to action. Keep the original file and a separate copy of the approved wording. Upload **one JPG, PNG, or WebP**, up to **50 MB**. Write down what may move and what must remain recognizable: the product silhouette, packaging label, logo, headline, and price. An instruction to preserve them guides the model; comparing each result with the brief is the approval step. Ad Resizer uses one source image per run and requires a paid plan or purchased credits. ## Step 2: Which ad sizes should you select? Choose placements you actually plan to use. These are example presets in the app, not a complete specification for any advertising network. Confirm the destination’s current requirements before publishing. | App preset | Target pixels | Check first | |---|---:|---| | Square | 1080 × 1080 | Headline and product hierarchy | | Portrait feed | 1080 × 1350 | Framing above and below the subject | | Story / Reel | 1080 × 1920 | Top and bottom interface overlays | | Leaderboard | 728 × 90 | Reading order and small text | | Wide skyscraper | 160 × 600 | Product scale in the narrow frame | If your account shows **Platform safe zone**, select the relevant platform before choosing sizes. Some sizes can become unavailable, and changing the platform can remove unsupported selections. Recheck **Ad sizes** after switching. A safe-zone option guides composition; preview the file in the destination platform to confirm interface overlap. ## Step 3: How to resize an ad in Ideogram 1. **Open Ad Resizer.** Find it in Apps or start from the [Ad Resizer tool page](https://ideogram.ai/create/tool/ad-resizer). 2. **Add the source.** Under **Source image**, upload the approved creative or choose an image from Library. 3. **Choose placements.** Open **Ad sizes** and select the required targets. Use **Platform safe zone** first when available and relevant. 4. **Add optional instructions.** State the most important layout decision, such as where the price should sit or how large the product should appear. 5. **Set Quality and Variations per size.** Quality offers **Low, Medium, and High**, with **High** as the default. Choose **1–4 variations per size**; start with one while reviewing composition. 6. **Check the quote and generate.** The run button shows the credit quote when available. Wait for the results, then open them in Assets. Three selected sizes with two variations per size request six results. Keep the first test small so you can fix the brief before creating a larger set. Quality and output count affect cost; use the displayed quote rather than an old fixed-price example. ### Suggested instruction to adapt ```text Keep the product large and the headline above it. Place the price near the lower right. Keep the brand name, offer wording and product label unchanged. ``` This is a suggested instruction, not the recorded prompt for the images in this guide. If a result changes the copy, correct it or add editable text in Studio before approving that version. ## Step 4: One campaign across different shapes Inside the app, open **Examples** where shown and choose the **Matcha Chocolate ultra-wide** example. Its preset loads a square source, a **3840 × 1280** target, **High** quality, and **one variation**, with an instruction to recompose the ad while preserving its product and branding. Loading the example prepares the form; review the quote and select **Generate** to run your own version. The following saved Matcha Chocolate examples from Ideogram’s Ad Resizer showcase illustrate square, vertical, wide, and tall arrangements. They are presentation examples, not a newly recorded run of the instructions above. ![Square Matcha Chocolate campaign creative used in the Ad Resizer showcase.](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/2412748b65f3b9fa.webp) **Square composition:** Inspect the original hierarchy of product, headline, and offer. ![Vertical Matcha Chocolate campaign example with its elements arranged for a tall placement.](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/f4932eb2950fc093.webp) **Vertical composition:** Check how the headline, product, and lower copy fit the taller frame. ![Wide leaderboard version of the Matcha Chocolate campaign example.](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/ecfe330766e342fd.webp) **Wide banner:** Review reading order and the smallest copy in the narrow strip. ![Tall narrow Matcha Chocolate skyscraper campaign example.](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/e2d816e5cb1e582c.webp) **Tall banner:** Check that the product and call to action remain understandable at display size. These displayed examples are presentation images, not a download-size test. Use the selected target preset and inspect the downloaded file’s actual width and height for the placement. ## Step 5: Check every format before downloading Open each result at full size, then view it approximately where the ad will appear. A banner can look attractive when enlarged and still have an unreadable call to action at its actual placement. - Read the brand name, headline, price, dates, and small copy character by character. - Compare product shape, logo, and packaging with the approved source. - Check edges for clipped text, duplicated objects, or invented background details. - Preview the result with destination overlays and safe margins. - Open **Download**, choose the required format, and confirm the saved file’s dimensions. Keep approved outputs in a campaign collection. Name exported files with placement, dimensions, and version. Follow [the download guide](https://docs.ideogram.ai/organize-and-share/download) for format and plan-specific options. Treat new sizes as new creative versions requiring review. ## Why won’t Ad Resizer generate, or why does a layout look wrong? | What you see | What to do | |---|---| | Choose an ad image before generating. | Add one source image and let it finish loading. | | Choose at least one ad size. | Reopen **Ad sizes** and select a supported preset, especially after changing the platform. | | Text is wrong or crowded. | Compare with approved copy. Simplify the composition request or correct the text in Studio. | | The product becomes too small. | Ask for a larger product in the layout or prepare a simpler source for the narrow placement. | | No **Platform safe zone** control. | Availability depends on your account. Check destination overlays manually rather than assuming a safe-zone option was applied. | | Only some selected sizes failed. | Review successful outputs, rerun only affected sizes, and check the quote before retrying. | ## Frequently asked questions **Can I select several ad formats in one run?** Yes. Select multiple entries in **Ad sizes**. **Variations per size** controls the number of outputs for each selection, so review the combined count and quote before generating. **Does Ad Resizer keep every word and logo exactly the same?** Use the source and instructions to guide preservation, then inspect every output. Generated layouts can change lettering or product details. Keep approved copy separately and use editable text for final corrections when needed. **Can I enter any custom width and height?** The native **Ad sizes** picker offers supported presets. Choose from that list; the example dimensions do not imply an unrestricted custom-size field. **Does Recreate restore the entire multi-size request?** Recreate on an individual result restores that result’s target size. Check **Ad sizes** and reselect other placements for the next run. **Does a video placement make an animated ad?** No. Ad Resizer makes images. A size grouped under video or streaming describes a target layout; use a video workflow when the deliverable needs motion. ## Adapt your next campaign Bring one approved ad and the placement list you need.
