What does the Resize Tool do?
The Resize tool allows you to change the shape of your canvas to support different kinds of posts for different formats of visual social media content.
You might start designing an Instagram Horizontal Post but decide you would also like to take that design and create a Instagram Reel as well.

The two most common scenarios are:
