Frequently asked questions.
What is the standard size for Instagram ads?
Almost any type of post on Instagram (in-feed, stories, carousel, etc.) can be used for an ad. Check out our in-depth Instagram size guide for a breakdown of each. For in-feed posts, it is worth noting that you should avoid placing text or logos within the top and bottom 14% of your ads. Any details in that zone are at risk of being covered up by call-to-action banners.
Can I include text in my advertisement?
Absolutely. There’s no specific requirement for how much text you can feature on your ad, but ads with minimal text tend to perform better. Say a lot with a small word count by using powerful imagery, concise phrasing, bold fonts, or a clear call to action. Any text that doesn’t make it in your ad can always go in the caption.
What types of Instagram ads perform best?
It will depend on your audience and industry, but there are some types of ads that generally do best across the board, including image-based ads, video ads, and testimonials. Start by testing out some of these different types with your followers and continue with the ad type that performs best.
What editing options are available to me in Ad Maker?
Ad Maker is equipped with all the tools you need to create an engaging Instagram ad. You can edit text layout and flow as well as font style and color. For images, you can play around with the opacity, crop, and use handy AI tools like Remove object, Insert object, and Remove background. To access all of the Adobe Express editor tools, click Open in Adobe Express.
