Flyer size resizer

How to use it

1. 1

   Drop the flyer

   Every canvas renders immediately as a tile drawn at its real shape, so a Twitter header is wide and short and an A0 board is tall and narrow.

2. 2

   Set the point that must stay in frame

   Tap the picture at the top. Every cropped canvas keeps that point in view. Advanced options can also find the busiest part of the picture for you.

3. 3

   Choose fill or fit

   Crop to fill suits a photographic background. Fit the whole design keeps the layout intact and puts a colour, the sampled edge colour or a mirrored background behind it.

4. 4

   Pick the tiles you want

   The whole tile is the button. A tile carrying a warning badge is being enlarged past its own detail and will print soft.

5. 5

   Download

   The button counts the selection and renders each canvas at its full pixel size. Advanced options switches the files to JPEG, which matters for the poster sizes.

A board, not a list

Every canvas is drawn at its own shape and grouped by what it is for, so the differences are visible instead of described. An A4 sheet next to an Instagram story next to a Facebook cover makes it obvious that no single crop serves all three. That is the point. The board is there to show you which of the ten are honestly reachable from the artwork you have, and which need the design laying out again.

Refitting pixels is not redesigning

An A4 flyer is tall and narrow. A Facebook cover is short and wide. There is no crop of the first that is a good version of the second, because the design was composed for a different frame. This tool is the fast answer when the artwork is mostly a photograph or a pattern with generous margins. When the layout is dense, the honest answer is to rebuild it for the new shape, which is what the builder's own size switch does by running the layout again rather than scaling it.

Why some tiles carry a warning

A source image has a fixed amount of detail. Filling a 1656 by 2340 poster canvas from a 1200 pixel wide picture means enlarging it more than twice, and enlargement invents pixels rather than finding them. Any tile whose scale goes above 1.15 gets a badge that says so in words and an icon, not just a colour. The print canvases also quote the density the output would land at on real paper, which is the number a printer will ask about.

When bars are the right answer

Fitting the whole design and filling the remainder looks deliberate if the colour comes from the design itself and looks like a mistake if it is default white behind a coloured flyer. The sampled edge option takes the average of the artwork's outer ring, so the result reads as a framed version rather than a botched crop. On a story, where the bars are large, that choice matters more than it does on a square post.
