Resize should not be a premium feature!

I missed the survey, and I've only mentioned this in passing, but Resizing should NOT be a Premium feature - especially in Embed SDK. 

We use "Create" buttons to create new documents with Embed SDK for all kinds of assets - videos, images, button images, and all at different resolutions and aspect ratios (shapes/proportions).

The way it is now, we have to hard code all these options into the script for the document that we create - because many of our users are new to Express and aren't Premium users - and obviously would not pay $$$ to do something as basic as resizing. It's so weird to have created a document and then not be able to change resolution of the canvas. We have to anticipate what the user wants, knowing they won't be able to change it later.

In SaaS terms, it's not a good 'upgrade motivator' - not being able to do basic resize on a document with pre-set size is an annoyance / limitation that makes us and Express seem limited.

I realise you have smart resizing and lots of lovely premium features. But basic canvas resizing should be enabled for everyone in Embed SDK at the very least. I would class this as an urgent improvement.

agreed, facing a similar issue. On the verge of finishing testing a media editor in our Bilboard Content Management Application  with embeded sdk . We have specific canvas sizes for specific screens so when ever non-premium users (knowing most wont pay for premium) have to simply change a design to fit another screen , they have to create a new canvas import the image from a device, whilst it wouldve been much easier to select an image from our media library and edit --> resize .
