Ad sizes, checked against the platforms themselves

Sizes, ratios, file limits and lengths for every major ad placement. Each one links the platform page it was read from, and where a platform does not state a value, the guide says so.

Everything runs in this browser. Files you add are never uploaded, stored or sent to analytics.

Why this one

What this tool gets right

First-party sources only

Every row was read from Meta, TikTok, Google, LinkedIn, X or Pinterest documentation and links the exact page. No spec is copied from another round-up.

Honest gaps

YouTube does not state a recommended size for Shorts ads and X does not state an image file limit. The guide says "Not stated" instead of filling the cell with a guess.

Filter to what you are making

Pick a platform and image or video and copy just those specs, with their sources, into a brief or a ticket.

Safe zones where they exist

Reels and Stories rows carry Meta's keep-clear margins, and the safe zone checker shows them over your own creative.

How it works

Three steps, about thirty seconds

01

Filter by platform and format

Choose where the ad will run and whether it is an image or a video.

02

Export at the recommended size

Build at the listed size and ratio. A file that is close but not exact is where platforms crop and compress in ways you did not choose.

03

Check the source before a big launch

Specs change. Each card links the platform page, so a two-minute check before an expensive campaign is easy.

Why exact sizes matter

Platforms accept a range of files, but they display a specific frame. A file at the wrong ratio gets cropped to fit, and the crop is decided by the platform rather than by you, which is how a product ends up cut in half or a headline loses its first word. Resolution matters too. A file below the recommended size is upscaled and looks soft; one far above it is compressed hard on upload. Building at the listed size gives the platform the least to change.

How this guide is maintained

Each number was read from the platform's own ads documentation on the date shown under the guide, and each card links the page. When a platform leaves a value unstated, the card says so rather than borrowing a figure from elsewhere. If you spot a spec that has changed, the linked page is the authority, not this guide.

What this guide cannot tell you

  • It lists the platform's documented specs. It cannot guarantee an upload will be accepted or displayed a particular way.
  • Specs change without notice. Check the linked source before a large campaign.
  • It covers the main placements, not every ad format each platform offers.
  • It does not cover text limits, policy rules or audience targeting.

Questions, answered

Meta's Ads Guide lists 1440 x 1800 pixels at 4:5 for Facebook Feed images and videos, with a 30 MB limit for images and 4 GB for video. Stories and Reels use 1440 x 2560 at 9:16.
It depends on the placement. Meta lists 1440 x 1800 at 4:5 for Instagram Feed images, 1080 x 1920 at 9:16 for Instagram Feed video, and 1440 x 2560 at 9:16 for Stories and Reels.
TikTok's ads help lists 9:16 as recommended, with 16:9 and 1:1 also accepted, a minimum of 540 x 960 pixels for vertical, files up to 500 MB, and videos up to 10 minutes. It does not state a single recommended resolution.
Because platforms update their specs and many round-ups are not updated with them, or copy each other. That is why every row here links its source and carries the date we checked it.
Meta's current Ads Guide pages for Facebook and Instagram Feed list 4:5 as the ratio. We could not find 1:1 listed for those placements, so the guide does not claim it.
Yes. The free video resizer and cropper on this site run in your browser, with presets for 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1.
