One idea, every social size
Describe one announcement and Programmable lays it out for every size you pick, from an Instagram story to a 728 × 90 banner. Each format is drawn for its own shape rather than cropped from another, then checked for unreadable, cut-off or overlapping text.
Who this is for
This is for anyone who announces things across several channels and is tired of fixing the same post in six sizes. A feature launch, a webinar or a sale are typical examples. It's most useful once you need more than two or three sizes of the same message.
What you start from
A sentence is enough, such as what the post says and where it goes. You can also add a link, paste an announcement or notes, and add your own images (PNG, JPEG, WebP or SVG). Set up your brand kit first if you can, because graphics start from your logo, colours and fonts.
What happens, step by step
- On Home, say what the graphics should say and where they'll go, or choose + New › Graphics.
- Pick single formats or a ready-made set.
- The studio designs three concepts and lays each one out for every format you picked. Keep the one you like.
- Open it from Library › Graphics to change the text, layout, images and colours, or ask by chat. Chat changes show before and after, and nothing changes until you choose Save.
- Press Check every format, which looks for unreadable text and anything cut off or overlapping.
- Pick a file type, then This size for one file or All sizes for a zip, or for one PDF with a page per size.

Why drawn per format matters
A resized design usually breaks because each app covers part of the picture. Each format here has its own safe area, and text and logos are kept out of it:
| Format | Size | What's kept clear |
|---|---|---|
| Instagram story | 1080 × 1920 | Top 13% and bottom 20%, for the header and reply bar |
| LinkedIn banner | 1584 × 396 | Left 36%, where the profile photo sits |
| X header | 1500 × 500 | Left 28% and bottom 22%, for the avatar |
| YouTube banner | 2560 × 1440 | All but the centre 1546 × 423, the part shown on every device |
| YouTube thumbnail | 1280 × 720 | The bottom right, where the duration shows |
What you get
| File type | Use it for |
|---|---|
| PNG | The default, with sharp text |
| JPG | Smaller files, on the design's background |
| WebP | Small files for websites |
| One page per size, with text kept sharp | |
| SVG | Browsers and some design tools, though not all open it |
You can also publish a share page for a reviewer. See sharing graphics and logos.
Three things to check before you upload:
- Display ads. Google Ads has a 150 KB limit on uploaded images. Formats with a long side under 800 px are exported at double the pixels for sharpness, so a 300 × 250 design can come out at 600 × 500. Check the file's dimensions and weight against what your ad platform accepts.
- YouTube thumbnails. Ours are 1280 × 720, which fits the 16:9 shape. YouTube's current advice names 3840 × 2160, with a 640 px minimum.
- Platform changes. Apps change their specs, so check the size on anything paid. Image sizes for a product launch lists the launch sizes with their sources.
What it costs
Three concepts count as one design call. It's shown as 1 credit before you run it, then settled to what the AI actually used. Every size, direct edit and download after that uses no more credits. Changes by chat use AI, so they use credits too. The trial includes 120 credits with no card, which is enough to try this. Starter is $29 a month with 350 credits, and a top-up is 100 credits for $12. On an own-key plan, you connect an Anthropic key to design, and your provider bills you for it. You can also start from a blank design with no AI. Pricing has all the plans.
When another route is better
- You want to design by hand from templates. Canva is built around templates and a manual editor, so it suits that better.
- You need print. There are no business card or print templates here.
- You need an AppSumo listing image. AppSumo bans text and overlay graphics, so a designed graphic won't pass. Use a plain capture, as launch galleries explains.
- You need one post, once. Any design tool will do that quickly.
A brief you can paste
This uses a made-up product. Choose the Launch kit set, or swap in your own.
"Announce that Acme Invoices now sends late-payment reminders automatically. Headline: Stop chasing invoices. Supporting line: Acme Invoices reminds your clients for you. Use my product screenshot as the main image, keep the words large enough to read on a phone, and don't add any statistics. Add a small line at the bottom: Available on every plan."
Common questions
Can I add a format later?
Yes. The editor has the same format picker, so you can add or remove sizes on a graphic you've already made. Run Check every format again afterwards, and look over each new size yourself.
Can a teammate leave feedback?
Yes. The Comments tab holds feedback pinned to a format, so a note on the story doesn't get mixed up with the banner. See Comments.
Can I open the files in Figma or Illustrator?
SVG opens in browsers and some design tools, but not all of them. Treat PNG and PDF as the dependable files, and try one SVG in your tool before you plan around it.
