Desktop Creatives
Banner
File format
Responsive HTML5 as a ZIP
Third-party tag
Size
2560 x 1440 pixels (recommended)
Visible area
Width 100%
Height 50%, 80% or 100% of the screen height depending on the publisher; 80% is the most common
Placement

Notes
The creative must be built as responsive HTML so that all content scales to the width and height of the window.
Safe zone: an animated arrow button is added at the bottom centre. Do not place important elements such as text, logos, CTAs or buttons in that area — 50 pixels wide, 120 pixels high — as they may be covered or overlapped.
