Is there a way to automate banner resizing/layouts for multiple sizes

Let's say I have my main banner layout: (photos used are only for reference, not actual designs)

and I want to resize it to different other sizes, like these ones for example:

Is there a way to automate the layouts while still having the elements proportional to their images sizes? Can it only be done via scripting or are there other tools in photoshop that can be used?

I've not found a solution to date in Adobe but Creotopy does exactly this.

@Gab BalanonWas wondering if you found a solution to this yet. I have the same task and use Indesign to manually lay out the four most common sizes and then resize based on those. I've heard liquid layouts could make this a lot easier. I've also seen someone who scripted the same principle in Figma, but not my ideal choice since I like my Adobe workflow.

I recently discovered this free tool called LunarianWorks dot com. I think they're still in Beta but does a pretty good job for resizing ads all at once. We're a fashion company so we have pretty good campaign or still life photos from the photoshoots already. Just need simple cropping and adding the logo, text, etc. It does the job.

Isn't this what artboards are for?

But the OP wants AI artboards to automatically recompose the content from and to different sizes and orientations.

That's called basic graphic design production and needs to be done manually. And none of those elements are "proportional to their images sizes"
Just do the work.

Just a few short years ago the same was said about illustration/painting... Now it's done with a prompt.

Pretrained generative AI is already making inroads into layout and design.

Just do the work.

While you still can! :]

As @Stephen Marsh already mentioned Photoshop does not seem th eideal tool for the task, but out of curiosity:

How many different banner formats do you need to create?

How many layouts do you need to adapt?

What are the rules? (Like when is the subline left out?)

InDesign is better suited to this task:

Otherwise searching the web returns a few hits for AI banner software with this feature.

It would depend on whether you knew the approx size and orientation of multiple banner templates in advance or require more flexibility for multiple on the fly banners at unknown sizes or orientation.
