Meta supports various ad formats including image ads, video ads, carousel ads (multiple images or videos in a single ad), slideshow ads, and Stories ads.
What Types of Ad Creatives Can Be Used on Meta Platforms?
Videos under 15 seconds are ideal for Stories, while 15-30 seconds work well for feed placements.
How Long Should Facebook and Instagram Video Ads Be?
It's possible, but not always optimal. Tailoring creatives to specific placements (like adjusting for vertical formats in Stories) can enhance performance.
Can I Use the Same Creative Across Different Placements?
Yes, Meta has guidelines and policies regarding what content is acceptable in ads, including restrictions on certain imagery, claims, and the amount of text in images.
