Auto Cropper: AI powered auto cropping for Creative Automation

Introducing a new AI-powered auto-cropping feature in our Creative Automation solution. It finds the focal point of an image and crops it to fit each ad format, so the key content stays visible and the file stays light.

Key Takeaways

Every new advertising format can mean another round of manual cropping and resizing, slowing production and creating inconsistencies across campaign assets.

AI can identify the focal point of an image and automatically adapt the crop, dimensions and file size for different advertising formats.

Cape.io Auto Cropper turns format adaptation into a seconds-long workflow, helping teams produce consistent creative without repeatedly resizing assets by hand.

Tired of cropping images for every ad format?

Creating ads across multiple sizes often means spending far too much time manually cropping images to make sure the important parts stay visible.

That’s why we’ve introduced a new AI-powered auto-cropping feature in our Creative Automation solution.

The tool automatically identifies the focal point of an image and intelligently adjusts crops for different formats, ensuring the most important content remains in view. Whether you’re creating display ads, social creatives, or campaign assets at scale, it helps deliver high-quality crops in seconds without the manual work. 

It also optimizes each crop for the required dimensions, helping you create high-quality creatives that remain lightweight and efficient. This is especially important for display advertising, where file size can directly impact performance and delivery.

The result? Faster production, more consistent creatives, and less time spent resizing assets.
