How to Use Adobe Express Without Generic AI Instructions
When one flyer needs to become six correctly sized social posts, Adobe Express can resize a single design for each platform — without pixelated text or wrong dimensions.
Dear Suzannah
Dear Suzannah, I need to resize our event flyer into six different social media sizes and add our logo, but every time I try a design tool I end up with pixelated text and the wrong dimensions for Instagram.
Use one template and let the tool resize it for each platform automatically.
The real use case
Resize a single event flyer into correctly sized posts for multiple social media platforms with consistent branding.
No prompt needed: use this workflow instead
This tool works through its interface, not a blank prompt. Follow these steps to get the result you need.
- Go to adobe.com/express and sign in. Click ‘Create new’ and choose ‘Instagram post (1080 x 1080)’ as your base canvas size.
- Upload your event flyer image and any logo files using ‘Add media’ or drag them onto the canvas. Arrange the flyer content — headline, date, location, call to action — within the square canvas.
- Click ‘Resize’ in the left toolbar. Select all the sizes you need: Instagram story (1080 x 1920), Facebook post (1200 x 630), LinkedIn post (1200 x 627), Twitter post (1600 x 900), and any others.
- For each resized version, adjust the layout — vertical formats like Instagram story need elements stacked, wide formats like Twitter need elements side by side. Do not just stretch the square version.
- Add your logo to each resized version using ‘Add logo’ or drag it from the brand library. Position it consistently — same corner, same relative size — across all versions.
- Export each version by clicking ‘Share’ then ‘Download.’ Choose PNG for social posts. Name each file with the platform name (e.g. ‘event-flyer-instagram-story.png’).
- Open each exported file at 100% zoom and check that text is readable and the logo is not blurry before uploading to social media.
Make the result less generic
- Rearrange elements for each aspect ratio instead of stretching the square version — vertical and wide formats need different layouts.
- Keep the logo in the same corner and relative size across all versions so the brand looks consistent on every platform.
- Check each exported file at 100% zoom before uploading to catch pixelated text or blurry logos.
- Name each file with the platform name so you do not mix up which version goes where.
- Test the Instagram story version on an actual phone screen — text that looks fine on desktop can be too small on mobile.
Quick human check
- Is the text legible at the size it will actually appear on each platform (especially mobile)?
- Does the logo appear in the same position and relative size across all six versions?
- Are the exported dimensions correct for each platform — no squished or stretched images?
- Does the call to action (register, RSVP, learn more) fit fully within each version’s frame?
- If you posted all six versions side by side, would they look like they belong to the same event?
