Formats and variations
Picking the right frame, and getting the same visual in several formats.
Flyer or thumbnail?
Kreafy produces two families of visuals. You choose when opening the studio, and you can change it at any time from the page title.
| Type | For what | Available formats |
|---|---|---|
| Flyer | Poster, social post, story, print | Automatic, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 4:3, 16:9, 2:3, 4:5, 5:4, 21:9 |
| Thumbnail | YouTube, blog, Twitch, podcast, Short | 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 |
The cost of a generation does not depend on the type, only on the model and the resolution.
Flyer formats
| Format | Common use |
|---|---|
| Automatic | Lets the model choose from the brief |
| 1:1 | Square post, thumbnail |
| 3:4 and 2:3 | Portrait poster, print |
| 4:5 | Instagram portrait |
| 9:16 | Story, Reel, TikTok |
| 4:3 and 5:4 | Classic landscape |
| 16:9 | Widescreen, banner |
| 21:9 | Ultra-wide, site header |
Thumbnail formats
| Format | Platforms |
|---|---|
| 16:9 | YouTube, blog article, Twitch |
| 9:16 | Short, Reel, TikTok |
| 1:1 | Podcast, sleeve, cover |
A thumbnail is not only YouTube. The same 16:9 visual works as an article header, a replay thumbnail or a LinkedIn cover.
Reframing a visual
Once a visual is generated, the Reframe action produces the same visual in another frame without regenerating it from scratch: the composition is picked up and recropped by the model to fit the new ratio.
Two ways to start it:
- the Reframe into other formats icon on hover over a variant;
- the + button at the end of the "Variations" row, in the generation's context panel.
Each variation is a generation in its own right: it is billed at the same rate as the original visual, based on the model and the resolution.
Variations appear as thumbnails labelled with their ratio. A thumbnail in progress shows a waiting indicator, a failed one shows a warning triangle, and in that case the credits are refunded.
Reframing keeps the style, not the pixel-perfect layout. Long copy designed for 9:16 will sometimes need shortening to fit in 16:9.
