Types of Instagram Image ads

There are three types of Image Ad that you can use on Instagram. These are:

* The Landscape Image Ad

* The Square Image Ad

* The Vertical Image Ad

Now we will look at each of these in turn and provide you with all of the important specification information that you need to know to get the best results. We strongly advise that you follow the specifications to the letter to have your ad accepted and to ensure that it will look the best that it can be.

Landscape Image Ad

The first thing you need to know about Landscape Image Ads is that they tend to be wider and as a result will not take up the conventional Instagram post full square. The real advantage of using a Landscape Image Ad is that they stand out when compared to the normal format.

You can use a Landscape Image Ad for wider images such as panoramic images to showcase a number of things going on at once. A lot of travel and outdoor companies use Landscape Image Ads to good effect. They tend to have a bigger impact than conventional images.

Here are the important specifications for a Landscape Image Ad:

* The image ad size should be 1200 X 628 pixels

* The resolution should be a minimum of 600 X 315 pixels

* The correct aspect ratio is 1.9:1

* File formats can either be PNG or JPG

* There is a maximum file size of 30 MB per image

* A 2,200 character limit exists for captions but we recommend you go for around 150 characters

Square Image Ad

Again you will focus on width with a Square Image Ad just as with the landscape ad. A Square Ad doesn’t take up all of the space for a post and you would usually use this type of ad for a portrait image.

Here are the important specifications for the Square Image Ad:

* The size of the Square Image Ad is 1080 X 1080 pixels

* The resolution should be a minimum of 600 X 600 pixels

* The correct aspect ratio is 1:1

Vertical Image Ad

Sometimes called a Portrait Image Ad, the Vertical Image Ad is the most common. This is because it is the format when you take a picture through the Instagram app or with other photographs you take with your smartphone.

Here are the important specifications for the Vertical Image Ad:

* The size of the Vertical Image Ad is 1080 X 1350 pixels

* The resolution should be a minimum of 600 X 750 pixels

* The correct aspect ratio is 4:5
