Upload candidate ad
Upload your candidate ad image — landscape photos near the 1.91:1 ratio crop with the least loss.
Facebook single-image ads run at 1200×628px (1.91:1) across the news feed, right column, Marketplace, and Audience Network. Meta Ads Manager auto-resizes uploaded creatives per placement, but starting at the 1.91:1 ratio is the most reliable way to avoid mobile side-cropping and Instant Article text clipping. Because carousel ads use 1:1 (1080×1080) and Stories or Reels ads use 9:16 (1080×1920), this 1200×628 spec applies only to single-image placements. The preview lets you see where the CTA overlay sits in the bottom-right and roughly where the mobile safe area falls, so the JPG you export is ready for Ads Manager without another round of cropping.
Upload your candidate ad image — landscape photos near the 1.91:1 ratio crop with the least loss.
Center the key message and leave roughly 25% of the bottom-right clear for the CTA overlay; add a small top/bottom buffer for the mobile safe area.
Confirm text covers under 20% of the canvas, then export as 1200×628px sRGB JPG.
Standardizing every news feed variant to the same 1200×628px master cut keeps placement-driven crop noise out of your A/B tests, so CTR comparisons stay clean.
