Responsive Display Ads

Responsive Display Ads optimize themselves by performance and space requirements. To load a set for a responsive ad you can upload up to:

(5) 25-Character Headlines
(1) 90-Character Headline (will show without an image, will not show with the other headlines above)
(5) 90-Character Descriptions
(1) 25-Character Business Name

Keep in mind that Google Ads will never run the 25 and 90 character headlines at the same time. Also, there’s no guarantee that they’ll include a description.

You can upload up to 15 marketing images and 5 logos. You can crop a single image to the landscape and square formats, or use separate images for each aspect ratio. Text may cover no more than 20% of the image.

-Landscape: Your landscape image should have a ratio of 1.91:1 and be greater than 600 x 314. The file size limit is 5120KB.
-Square: Your square (1:1) image should be greater than 300 x 300. The file size limit is 5120KB.
-Logo (optional): Your logo should be square (1:1) and should be 128 x 128 or greater. The recommended size for the square logo is 1200 x 1200. For best rendering, it is also recommended to add a landscape (4:1) logo, which should be 512 x 128 or greater. The recommended size for the landscape logo is 1200 x 300. For all your logos, a transparent background is best, but only if the logo is centered. The file size limit is 5120KB.
