Every Standard Ad Size, One Editor
All standard sizes built in
Leaderboard, medium rectangle, large rectangle, skyscraper, half page, and mobile banners — all preset. No manual canvas setup between sizes.
Design once, adapt across formats
Background, headline, CTA, and logo as layers. Resize and reposition each one to carry the same message across formats. Keep text heavy and high-contrast to stay legible at small sizes.
Start with 300×250 and 728×90
The medium rectangle (300×250) covers ~40% of GDN impressions — the single highest-traffic unit. Add the leaderboard (728×90) second. Those two cover most placement opportunities before expanding the set.
Specific copy beats "Shop Now"
Banner blindness is real. High contrast breaks the pattern; specific numbers earn clicks. "Get 30% off before Friday" outperforms a generic CTA every time. For 300×250: message + CTA + logo. For 728×90: tagline + button only.
Frame the ad and give it one focal point
Display banners sit inside busy pages, so a thin border stops a light background from blurring into the page. Keep one focal point per unit — a single headline, a button-shaped CTA, and a visible logo. Crowding a 300×250 with two messages splits attention and lowers the click-through rate.
Google Display Network — Standard Ad Sizes
Medium Rectangle
300 × 250
~40% of all GDN impressions. The most important size — if you only build one, build this.
Leaderboard
728 × 90
Wide horizontal banner for page tops. Text must be extremely concise — practically headline + CTA + logo.
Wide Skyscraper
160 × 600
Sidebar placement. Tall and narrow — must use a vertical layout with stacked elements.
Half Page
300 × 600
High-visibility sidebar unit. Double the height of a rectangle — more room for a message.
Large Rectangle
336 × 280
Slightly larger version of the medium rectangle. More room for messaging.
Mobile Banner
320 × 50
Standard mobile banner. Minimal space — logo + one short CTA is all that fits.
How to Make a Google Ads Banner
Pick an ad size
In the Social Banners tool, open the Google Ads size group and choose a format like Leaderboard 728 by 90 or Medium Rectangle 300 by 250.
Design the background
Use a solid color or gradient that fits your brand and keeps text readable.
Add headline, CTA, and logo
Add concise text layers for the headline and call to action, plus your logo. Keep type large enough to read at small sizes.
Export each size
Export the full-resolution banner in high quality, then switch sizes and adapt the layout for the next format.
Formats You Can Build
Leaderboard
Wide 728 by 90 banners for the top of pages.
Medium Rectangle
The versatile 300 by 250 unit used across the web.
Skyscraper
Tall 160 by 600 and 300 by 600 sidebar placements.
Mobile Banners
Compact 320 by 50 and 320 by 100 units for mobile.
