Question 1

Does My Ad Need a Legal Disclaimer?

Question 2

What are the File Requirements for Display Ads?

Accepted Answer

File Type
Files must be either JPG, PNG, or GIF. PNG is preferred because it does not lose quality when resized and is optimized for online display.

File Size
The sweet spot between a high quality image and one that loads quickly is usually between 50KB – 300KB. Any lower than 50KB can render an image illegible. Our platform accepts images with a maximum file size of 400kB.

Our platform only accepts the following four (4) sizes:
 • 300 x 250 (Medium Rectangle)
 • 160 x 600 (Skyscraper)
 • 300 x 600 (Half Page)
 • 728 x 90 (Leaderboard)
