Add more sizes to a template
Add a portrait and a story page to the sale card, design each one by hand, and fill all three from one sheet.
A template can hold several pages, one for each size you publish at. You design every size yourself, then one sheet fills all of them.
Kalpana does not resize designs
Resize to changes the size of a page. It does not re-lay out the design. Each size is a layout you check and arrange by hand.
What you need
- The sale card, saved, with layers named
Product Image,Title,Price,Was PriceandBadge. See Create a template from a blank page. - Permission to edit templates in the workspace.
Steps
Duplicate the page
Open the template with Edit design. In the Pages panel, right-click Page 1 and choose Duplicate. The copy has the same layers, so the layer names carry over, and it is named Page 1 copy.
Set the new size
Right-click the copy, choose Resize to and pick Story / Reel under Instagram. The page becomes 1080 × 1920. Look at where your layers ended up: the design has not been re-arranged for the new shape.
To make a page from scratch instead, choose + beside Pages and pick a size. Same size as this page is at the top of that menu.
Lay the page out by hand
Rearrange the layers for the taller page. As a starting point, in the Design panel:
| Layer | X | Y | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
Badge Pill | 90 | 120 | stays as is |
Product Image | 90 | 200 | W 900, H 1000 |
Details | 90 | 1280 | stays as is |
If you skipped Build a layout that survives long copy, you have no Badge Pill or Details frames. Move Badge, Title, Price and Was Price into the same places instead.
Hold Alt over a layer to see its distance to its neighbours. Smart guides snap a layer to the page edges and other layers as you drag.
Name and describe the page
Double-click the page's name and call it Story. Click an empty part of the canvas so nothing is selected, and in Page description write what the page is for, such as Instagram story.
A batch adds the page name to each file name, and the description is saved with the page.
Add the portrait page
Right-click Page 1 again, choose Duplicate, then Resize to and pick Post (portrait) under Instagram. This is 1080 × 1350. Lay it out the same way, with the image at Y 120 and H 800, and Details at Y 960. Name it Portrait.
Save
Choose Save Template or press Cmd/Ctrl+S. Rename Page 1 to Square first if you like.
Fill every page from one sheet
Open New batch for the template. The builder shows a tab for each page, with its size. A plain Title column fills every page that has no column of its own. A column named page2@Title gives page 2 its own text. See Fill several pages from one sheet.
Each row renders once for every page you keep. Five products on three pages make 15 images, and each costs 1 render credit when you run the batch. Close a page's tab with its × to leave it out.
Check the result
The template page should list three pages, each with its size. Open each one and check that nothing is cut off, and that the variables list is complete.
The commonest mistake is trusting Resize to to do the layout. It only changes the page size. Look at each page in the designer, and again in the batch preview, before you run.
