resize-design

Use resize-design to create a copy of an existing design at new dimensions, with the layout rearranged to fit. The original is unchanged. It isn't for resizing a single element within a page.

"Resize my Instagram post to 1920 by 1080 for a presentation slide."

Pass the design_id and a design_type, either a preset name or custom width and height in pixels.

IDs, URLs, and tokens below are placeholders; field names and structure are exactly as returned.

This tool wraps results in an asynchronous job object. The server waits for the resize to finish (up to about a minute) before responding, so status is normally success or failed; check it before using the result.

{
  "job": {
    "id": "job_EXAMPLE",
    "status": "success",
    "result": {
      "design": {
        "id": "DAF_EXAMPLE_RESIZED",
        "title": "Summer Campaign",
        "urls": {
          "edit_url": "https://www.canva.com/d/EXAMPLE_EDIT",
          "view_url": "https://www.canva.com/d/EXAMPLE_VIEW"
        },
        "created_at": 1784078449,
        "updated_at": 1784078453,
        "page_count": 1
      }
    }
  }
}

Returns a job whose result.design is the new design; a thumbnail is included when available. Give the user the edit_url. A failed resize returns status: "failed" with an error containing a code and message.
