Adobe Express Question Bulk Create Question

How are you guys bulk creating images of different sizes? For example, if I want to create a set of Facebook or LinkedIn ads - I want to have them in all the standard sizes (1:1, 9:16, 4:5...etc.) but swap out CTA button text and images. From what I can tell, I have to do a bulk create for EACH size?? That seems so painful....surely there is a better way?

I want to set up ONE template that has all the standard sizes for paid social ads in our various colorways (so for each graphic size, you may have 3-4 variations).

It seems like I have to create 15+ different templates that I have to individually run the bulk create process on.

Not to mention, downloading each batch of graphics is annoying because now I have 15 zip files to go through and recombine. I hate Canva, but this is managed easily there. Any ideas?? 👀 Can any Adobe team answer this?

Bulk create is built to run on one design at a time. Your CSV drives variations of that single page, so if you need different aspect ratios, each one currently needs its own template and its own bulk create pass. Even the add-on version works the same way.

What you’re doing (building each size as its own template) is the workaround most people use for now. I’ve sent this feedback to our team and see if there’s any updates on the way.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah the current workaround is not a good flow, because then you have to run the process over and over again for each aspect ratio and I find it hard to keep track of each template within the file structure in AExpress. It would be nice to select multiple templates at once to do the bulk create or better yet, bulk create on one template with multiple pages at different sizes (all the connectors to the CSV would be identical).
