Create standardized resized image copies in your media folder

Automatically runs on an hourly schedule across Google Drive, Looping by Zapier, and Formatter by Zapier. Create and update resized file copies when hourly check runs, new images appear, or destination copies are missingβ€”so you can format filenames, generate copies, and upload faster without manual resizing.

How this automation creates standardized resized copies

When the hourly schedule runs, delays can leave media assets inconsistent and out of date. This automation finds image files, loops through each one, formats size specific names, and uploads resized copiesβ€”so your team can use consistent assets without manual resizing.
