The Role of Dimensions in Ad Creative

Ads have slots on Meta and Instagram. Each slot calls for its size. A desktop ad differs from a mobile ad. One size fits all. One must work across slots.

Pick three sizes:

  1. Square Size
    • 1080 x 1080 pixels
    • Good on desktop feeds and Instagram feeds. It does not fit stories or reels.

  2. Tall Size
    • 1080 x 1350 pixels
    • Good for mobile feeds. This size also does well in stories and reels.

  3. Vertical Size
    • 1080 x 1920 pixels
    • Good for stories and reels. This size fits mobile screens best.

The Key Ad Format: Vertical Video

If you must choose one ad format, choose vertical video. It works well on Meta and Instagram.

Why Choose Vertical Video?

  1. It fits many slots.
    A vertical video cuts and fills each spot. The video changes with each slot.

  2. It suits mobile screens.
    More mobile users watch on phones. A vertical video fills the screen. The video grabs the eye.

  3. It saves time.
    One video works in many spots. Creators work on one video. This saves work and money.

How to Make Your Vertical Video Ad

• Place the subject in the middle. Some parts may cut off. Keep the middle clear.
• Add words on screen. Many watch without sound. This helps the viewer get the message.
• Check your video in Ad Manager. See how it shows in each spot. Make sure it looks good.

In Short

In ads, less can work best. The vertical video is the best pick for Meta and Instagram. It gives you more options. It fits mobile screens. It saves you work.

Now you know your single ad choice. Get set. Start your video ad now.

Instagram shows many ads. Some ads make long-term users cringe. Ads for games fill Instagram. The pictures and words stick very close. That makes them easy to read. In one ad, a small blob knocks people off a ledge. The text says, "I never knew anxiety until I played this game." The words match the blob in size and speed.

I watched the ads appear. First, I saw ads for beauty items and not for clothes. I kept scrolling every day. Soon, I found ads for clothing that caught my eye. Stylish Selections Denim Dreams I bought jeans first from Revice Denim. The ad showed jeans with a star on the back pocket. I liked the fun look. I paid $70 after a sale. Denim is common for many. The star made these jeans unique. The ad reached me because I had bought denim before. I sometimes like older styles. Graphic Tee Goals Next, I saw an ad from Life Clothing Company. I found a retro graphic tee. I paid $45 for the tee. The art reminded me of old Japanese print...
