Facebook Ads have enormous potential for businesses of all sizes. They can drive sales and introduce customers to your brand and create actual demand.<\/p>\n

Even if you have a restricted budget, there\u2019s a possibility to get great results at a relatively low cost for whatever ad spend you have available.<\/p>\n

When it comes to strong campaigns, there are a few elements you need to consider. You\u2019ll want to ensure that the targeting is on point for the goal you want to accomplish and that the messaging will resonate with your target audience. But that\u2019s not all that matters: the visual component of the ad carries a lot of weight, too.<\/p>\n

Here at Snappa, we excel in the visual component department, and we want to help you ensure that every ad campaign you create will maximize your conversions and ROI. In this post, we\u2019re going to look specifically at the ideal Facebook Ad size for each type of ad you can create so that they\u2019re optimized for the audience seeing it.<\/p>\n

Why Facebook Ad Size Matters<\/h2>\n

Take a look at these two ad campaigns. They’re both run on Facebook, but they’ve literally taken on very different forms.
\n\"Facebook \"Facebook<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because one is a Story ad, which is a mobile-first format, while the other is a newsfeed post. In addition to major structural changes for the ad\u2014 including the option for significantly more text in one, for example\u2014 the visual components are completely different sizes.<\/p>\n

You can take a look at some of the different Facebook Ad sizes and how they vary with our template options here:<\/p>\n\"Facebook\n

If you aren\u2019t prepared for this (and if your ad isn\u2019t prepared for this), then you run the risk of having your ad\u2019s image showing up with an odd crop, or even prevent it from being delivered.<\/p>\n

This can absolutely lose you clicks and conversions, and while that\u2019s painful enough as a missed opportunity, you could be paying for them financially if you\u2019re bidding on impressions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to point out that ads can run with improperly-sized images in some cases, which can be detrimental to the campaign overall; people will notice, and it\u2019s all they\u2019ll remember.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example we\u2019ll look further into later in the post:<\/p>\n\"Facebook\n
