Introduction

You can create a template in different formats, e.g. 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16. If you configure the project settings correctly, these will be displayed as format options when you select a template in Bluepic SOCIAL.

While templates in SOCIAL can have multiple formats, a project in STUDIO can only have one canvas size. Therefore, each format must correspond to an individual project.

The key to grouping multiple formats of a template is to give each project the same display name (note that the project name can be different).

Let's take a closer look at an example. We start with a project in 4:5 format and add a 9:16 format.

Step 1: Create a copy of an existing project

First, go to the template gallery and duplicate the already created project.

Step 2: Change the aspect ratio of the new project

Now you can open the copy of your original project and edit the canvas size in the project settings.

To get a 9:16 format, the height of the canvas must be changed to 1920 pixels.

Step 3: Adjust objects & publish the new project

The last step will be to adjust all the objects to the new canvas size and to publish the new template.

Step 4: Attach the new project to a SOCIAL Space

Don't forget to attach this project to the same SOCIAL Space as the original one.
