    • Display ads can be static or animated. Ad sets should include as many sizes as possible, to serve on various devices, browsers, and websites. Animation must be under 15 seconds with no looping.
    • A 1 px border around the edge of each ad unit is a standard best practice. The border is used to define the ad space so that the unit content is clearly distinguishable from normal website content.
    • Static images must be under 200k to upload into our platform, which will optimize for our publisher.
    • Animated GIFS must be under 200k, and less than 15 seconds with no loop.
