Tips for Google Ads ad creative
- Always upload both a 1.91:1 (1200 × 628) and a 1:1 (1200 × 1200) image: both are required for Performance Max, and they are the most common Google Ads image sizes.
- Add 4:5 (960 × 1200) images too. They are optional but let Demand Gen and Performance Max fill tall mobile feed slots.
- Upload several images per shape: Google recommends 3 of each orientation in Demand Gen and 4 or more landscape and square images in Performance Max (up to 20 each).
- Avoid text baked into responsive display images: Google warns it becomes unreadable when ads are shrunk, and blank space should not exceed 80% of the image.
- Keep at least one headline at 30 characters or fewer in Demand Gen (limit 40), or Ad Strength shows Incomplete and the ad cannot serve on Display.
