Tips for Great Results
- Keep animations under 5 seconds for display banners and 15 seconds for social feeds
- Smooth, subtle animation outperforms flashy effects — quality over spectacle
- End every animated ad on a static frame with your CTA visible — the last frame matters most
- Test animated vs. static versions of the same creative to measure the animation lift
- Optimize file sizes — large animated files load slowly and hurt ad delivery performance
