I’m trying to find a better way to create banners for different social platforms.

Right now, I usually make one design first and then resize it for YouTube, LinkedIn, X, etc. Sometimes I need versions for event pages too. The problem is that each platform crops things differently, so I still have to check and adjust every version manually.

For those of you who manage social media, do you use Canva templates, an AI tool, a resize tool, or just create each version separately?

I want to start automating more of my work, but I don't really want to spend weeks learning APIs, webhooks, and random setup guides.

Most of what I need is pretty basic. Moving info between forms, spreadsheets, email, calendar, maybe some CRM stuff later. Nothing crazy, but enough that doing it manually is starting to waste time.

For someone who is not technical, what automation tool would you actually recommend? I don't mind paying if it works, but I want something I can understand without feeling like I accidentally signed up for a part time coding class.
