Starts a new asynchronous job
to create a resized copy of a design. The new resized design is
added to the top level of the user''s
projects (`root` folder).
To resize a design into a new design, you can either:
- Use a preset design type.
- Set height and width dimensions for a custom design.
Note the following behaviors and restrictions when resizing designs:
- Designs can be resized to a maximum area of 25,000,000 pixels squared.
- Resizing designs using the Connect API always creates a new design. In-place resizing is currently not available in the Connect API, but can be done in the Canva UI.
- Resizing a multi-page design results in all pages of the design being resized. Resizing a section of a design is only available in the Canva UI.
- Canva docs and emails can''t be resized, and other design types can''t be resized to a Canva doc or email.
- Canva Code designs can''t be resized, and other design types can''t be resized to a Canva Code design.
For more information on the workflow for using asynchronous jobs,
see API requests and responses.
You can check the status and get the results of resize jobs created with this API using the
Get design resize job API.'
