Digital Material

FILE FORMATS AND SPECIFICATIONS:

JPG: 72 DPI, RGB, max file size 40kb
Static GIF: 72 DPI, 256 colors, max file size 40kb
Animated GIF: 72 DPI, 256 colors, max file size 60kb, max animation time 30 seconds
HTML5 / Rich Media: We have found that interactive, animated banner ads generally outperform
static image banners, and banners deployed through HTML5 can have a more polished impression
than a 256-color animated gif. Leveraging HTML5 can also help maximize messaging in small spaces
(eg. our 135 X 135 button ads).
For advertisers familiar with Flash development, we encourage you to investigate Adobe Animate
CC as a tool to develop HTML5 banners. For a starter tutorial, visit http://blogs.adobe.com/animate/
step-by-step-html5-ad-creation-with-adobe-animate-cc/
For full HTML5 specifications, visit https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/
answer/176108?hl=en
FLASH: Flash-based ads are still supported, but they are either being converted to HTML5 by Google
(where possible) and/or they are displayed as Flash (which some browsers now pause or attempt
to block). We encourage our advertisers to use HTML5 options for banner creation at this time. For
FLASH file requirements, please see http://www.reef2rainforest.com/flash-ad-specs

Click-through URLs for each ad must be specified.

For additional general platform restrictions and recommended creative
guidelines, please visit Googles Adwords policy page:
