How to Resize Designs with Canva Magic Resize

1

Open your existing design

Open the design you want to resize — typically a social media post that you want to adapt for other platforms.

2

Click Magic Resize

Go to the top menu and click 'Resize' (or 'Magic Resize' on Pro). Select the target sizes you want — you can choose multiple at once (Instagram Story, Facebook Post, LinkedIn Banner, etc.).

3

Review and adjust each size

Canva creates a new copy for each selected size. Open each one and adjust the layout — text may need repositioning, and images may need cropping for the new dimensions.

4

Download all versions

Download each resized version individually, or use 'Download all' for batch export. Each file is named by platform and size for easy identification.

Pro tips

  • *

    Magic Resize is a Pro feature — on Free plans, you can manually resize by clicking 'Resize' and entering custom dimensions

  • *

    Design your 'master' version as a square (1080x1080) first — it adapts more easily to both horizontal and vertical formats

  • *

    After resizing, always check that text is readable and key visual elements aren't cropped
