Have questions? We’re here to help.
How does "Smart Resize" differ from regular cropping?
Standard cropping just cuts off the edges of your image. Smart Resize actually understands the elements of your design: it repositions text, moves logos, and keeps the subject centered so the entire composition feels intentional, not "cutoff."
Will my text stay readable after resizing?
Yes. The tool intelligently scales and wraps text boxes to ensure legibility remains high, even when moving from a vertical to a horizontal format.
Is my data and translated content secure?
Security is our priority. PlayPlay is GDPR compliant, and all uploaded assets and translations are processed securely. Your data is never used to train public AI models, ensuring your corporate communications remain confidential.
What is an AI image resizer (or Smart Resize) and how does it work?
Smart Resize automatically adapts your visuals to any size while keeping them sharp, balanced, and on-brand. It detects key elements (subject, text, logos) and smartly repositions and scales them for each format. Result: one campaign asset, exported for every platform (Stories, LinkedIn, email) in seconds.
What are the correct image dimensions for every social media platform?
Each platform has its own ideal sizes. Use these recommended dimensions:
- Instagram Feed Post: 1080×1080px (square) or 1080×1350px (portrait)
- Instagram Stories/Reels: 1080×1920px (9:16 ratio)
- LinkedIn Post: 1200×627px (landscape) or 1080×1080px (square)
- LinkedIn Cover Photo: 1584×396px
- Twitter/X Post: 1200×675px
- Facebook Post: 1200×630px
- YouTube Thumbnail: 1280×720px
- Pinterest Pin: 1000×1500px (2:3 ratio)
Marketing teams rarely resize one image for one channel: they adapt one campaign visual into multiple formats, several times a week. PlayPlay’s Smart Resize does it automatically: upload once, export on-brand versions for every platform in seconds (logo, colors, typography intact).
How do I resize an image without losing quality?
Most design tools simply stretch or shrink pixels. That’s fine when you scale down, but it often looks blurry when you scale up. AI resizers avoid this by analyzing your image and reconstructing missing detail as they resize.
PlayPlay’s Smart Resize helps you keep visuals crisp and preserves your brand kit (logo placement, colors, typography) across every format.

It was often difficult… outsourcing video production makes the process more lengthy and not all creative decisions were under our control. With PlayPlay, we are much more intentional about planning and creating new visual content.

I love how fast it is to create videos with PlayPlay. Before, it would take weeks from the creative brief to the delivery of the video by the agency. Now it’s just a matter of hours and the videos look just as good!
