Planning

Clarify the delivery target before you batch-generate assets

When a size guide is useful

A size guide becomes valuable as soon as one source image must travel across several channels with different framing needs.

When one image set must cover multiple social platforms.
When you need to know which assets should be exported in batch.
When you want to reduce manual retries and repeated cropping.

Prepare the source set before opening the workspace

A stronger starting set makes every later export faster, especially when multiple platforms are involved.

Use a high-resolution source visual set.
List the platforms you need to deliver to.
Decide whether you need to control format, file size, or subject position.

Plan around ratio, safe area, and delivery order

The size itself is only one part of the job. Safe text spacing, crop risk, and export order matter too.

Separate portrait, square, and wide-banner outputs early.
Protect headlines and subjects from risky edge crops.
Export the final set in the order your team actually publishes.

Checklist

A practical pre-export checklist for social teams

Lock the channel list

Know exactly which platforms and placements the campaign must cover before you start generating files.

Protect the main subject

Use smart focus or manual refinement so the visual center survives the size changes.

Batch the handoff

Package the final files so review, scheduling, and publishing stay faster after export.
