Technical requirements
• Duration of animated ads must be 30 seconds or less.
• Ads must open in new tab or new window only.
• To make sure image creatives look great on any device, you can upload high-density image assets up to twice the dimensions of your creative. Display & Video 360 will scale down the image based on the resolution of the device where it serves. Display & Video 360 will only scale the image into sizes with the same aspect ratio as the original asset. For example, if you’re making a 300 x 250 creative, you can upload a high-density image up to 600 x 500.

You can use JPG, JPEG, GIF, and PNG files for image creatives.
