Ads requirementsBefore promoting your Pins, make sure they meet these requirements:
Saved to your own business profileSaved to public boardsHave destination URLsDon’t have link shorteners in the destination URL or descriptionAren’t third party videos or GIFsFollow our Ad StandardsWe recommend using a 2:3 aspect ratio, or 1000 x 1500 pixels. Pins that exceed a 2:4.2 width-height ratio will be truncated in people's feeds. That means people will only see part of your Pin, rather than the whole thing.

Ads in fullscreen feedsThe fullscreen feed is a collection of Pins from different creators, displayed vertically across people’s mobile device screens. Ads in fullscreen feeds are the ads that are shown within this feed, with a 9:16 aspect ratio. People will come across these ads as they browse Idea Pins in their home feed, search results and related Pins. They can tap these ads to go to your website, board or profile.
As an advertiser, you can opt in for your standard ads, standard video ads, and max width video ads to be displayed in fullscreen feeds. Set your placement targeting to “All” in Ads Manager to opt in.
Note: Ads in fullscreen feeds are only viewable on Android and iOS devices.
