Using ad templates

A template is a finished ad design with your words and your picture dropped in. It is the quickest way to get something that looks professionally made.

Pick a template

1. Open Creatives and choose Templates.
2. Browse the gallery, or narrow it by what you want the ad to do.
3. Select a template to open it.

Make it yours

The ad opens on a stage, with its parts listed beside it.

• Change the words. Select any text on the ad and type. You can change its size, its alignment and its colour from the toolbar.
• Swap the photo. Replace the picture with one from your library or a new upload.
• Frame the photo. Zoom in and out, drag the picture to move it inside its frame, or choose Re-centre to start again. Crop gives you finer control.
• Look closer. Use the zoom controls under the stage, or Fit to see the whole ad.

Mind the red bands

Every platform covers part of an ad with its own buttons, captions and profile details. The red bands on the stage show the areas that will be covered. Keep your headline, your logo and anything else that matters out of the red, and it will be visible wherever the ad runs.

Want to go further?

If you need more than a template allows, open the picture in Canvas, where you can crop, adjust and undo freely.

When you're happy

Save the design. It is stored in your Creatives library, ready to be used in an ad. As with everything else, it only appears in a live ad once you have approved that ad.
