Mailchimp have introduced a new image editor. Once you’ve uploaded your images to the Mailchimp Content Manager you’ll be able to edit your images using the new image editor. The new image editor is very powerful and has many new features.
A questions I’ve been asked many times over the past few days is to to use the new auto-resize function. The auto-resize functionality as at the time of publishing this article is a temporary solution. The video below describes how to use the new auto-resize feature for images. Of note is to remember to click the blue check-mark in the image and to click save before closing the image editor.
Note: You’ll know you need to auto-resize if you see the following message in Mailchimp:
We are working on a custom resizing fix – for now, let’s auto-resize
After completing the steps you’ve listed, and clicking SAVE, my image still appears to be the same size. In the Image pane on the right that shows beside my campaign, it lists the same size as when I imported the image, and hasn’t updated to 1200px like it claims to have inside the image editor. So strange! Any ideas?
I had this same issue a few days back. I tried again a bit later and all worked again. Strange!
How can I change the image to the size I want it to be? The editor won’t let me pick my own size.
Hi Brie, check back to your image editor later this week as Mailchimp will be reintroducing this functionality.
Would like to hear about how to further reduce the size from 1200 pixels wide! Seems like it will only allow me to crop if I go back in to edit once the auto-sizing is complete.
Didn’t work for me. I want the image to be physically smaller in my document, and can’t find any way to do that. What’s wrong with just a regular tab that we can grab to resize an image???
Hi Linda, the resize functionality will be released by Mailchimp this week.
That’s good to know, thanks for the info!
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING that MC would produce something that isn’t fully functional!! Thanks for the help.
