According to Newage, 34% of top media companies choose banner ads to promote on display and social media. A logical question arises: is there a universal online ad builder on the market that can be used to create an advertising banner for any platform and social network? Fortunately, such a service exists — in the BannerBoo editor, you can indeed design creatives for almost all advertising platforms and social networks. Let's take a closer look at what properties banners for Google, Yandex, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook should have.

According to the system requirements, for a banner to load in Google Ads without any problems, it must be in GIF, JPG or PNG format and a maximum size of 150 KB. Animated GIF ads have their own limitations: the maximum duration is 30 seconds, a loop of 30 seconds is allowed, and the speed cannot exceed 5 frames per second. Regarding HTML5 display ads, they can be used in Google Ads, provided that your account meets the established criteria.
According to research, the TOP popular ad sizes include a medium rectangle (300x250), a wide skyscraper (160x600), a full-size (728x90) and a mobile banner (320x50). The list of sizes that catch the eye of a web user includes a large rectangle 336x280 and a standard 468x60 banner.
