Use image ads in different sizes

This article describes the size and dimension specifications of image ads you can upload on the Google Display Network.

Image ads capture people’s attention across the Google Display Network’s 2 million websites and apps. Google Ads gives you several ways to create image ads—Ad Gallery templates, responsive ads, and uploading Display ads. You can upload custom image ads or use responsive ads.

Before you begin

Make sure that uploading custom image ads is the best choice for you. You also have the option to create image ads that fit just about anywhere across the Display Network with responsive ads. Even for advertisers who do use uploaded image ads, a best practice is to create additional responsive ads to cover sizes unavailable as uploaded image ads. Learn how to create a responsive ad. 

Keep in mind that you can run multiple kinds of ads, not just image ads, from the same Google Ads account and, in some cases, from the same campaign. Learn about the different campaign types and available ad formats.

Instructions

Before creating your ad in Google Ads, you’ll need to prepare an image file that is sized and formatted appropriately. The specifications and dimensions are listed below. 

When uploading a .zip folder, the maximum number of files that can be included is 40. Learn how to create and upload an image ad.

Note: Some ad sizes will show only in certain regions.

HTML5 ads

 

Requirements for using HTML5 ads

  • Has a good payment history.
  • Has more than US$1000 total lifetime spend.

You’ll receive an email update in about 5-7 business days when your request has been reviewed by the Google Ads team. In the meantime, you can use other options like uploaded AMPHTML ads or responsive display ads.

 

If you're creating a Universal App campaign, learn about HTML5 for Universal App campaigns.

HTML5 ads created in Google Web Designer
Ad environment When creating your ad in Google Web Designer, you must specify the “Google Ads” environment.
Static and dynamic ads

HTML5 ads can be both static and dynamic. Dynamic ads use information in a data feed to determine which images, text, and other information will be shown. 

To create a dynamic ad, you create an ad using placeholder elements for each piece of image or text you want to be dynamically generated, then bind data objects to each element. When the data feed changes, the elements that are bound to the data will reflect those changes automatically.
Supported components
  • iFrame
  • Swipeable Gallery
  • Carousel Gallery
  • 360° Gallery
  • Gallery Navigation
  • Image Button
  • Spritesheet
