Meta Size Variations

Generate every Meta placement size from a single concept with no manual resizing or redesigning.

Supported Placement Sizes

Meta ads run across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and the Audience Network, each with different aspect ratio requirements. StealAds generates creative optimized for all three core sizes.

1:1 - Square (1080 x 1080)

The universal format. Works in Facebook feed, Instagram feed, Marketplace, and right column. Best for maximum placement coverage.

4:5 - Vertical (1080 x 1350)

Takes up more screen real estate in mobile feeds. It often outperforms 1:1 on mobile because it pushes competing content out of view.

9:16 - Full Vertical (1080 x 1920)

For Stories and Reels placements on both Facebook and Instagram. This is a full-screen immersive format with the highest engagement potential.

Generating Variations

You can generate size variations at two points in the workflow.

During initial generation:

Select which sizes you want before generating. Each size is generated independently. The layout, text placement, and composition are adapted for the specific aspect ratio instead of just being cropped.

After generation:

Already generated a concept in 1:1 but need 9:16 for Stories? Use Check missing sizes to see which placements you're missing, then generate just those variations without re-running the full concept.

Best Practices

Getting the most out of size variations comes down to understanding how each format is consumed.

  • Start with 4:5 because mobile feed is where most impressions happen
  • Always generate 9:16 for Stories because repurposing feed ads there wastes the full-screen format
  • Use 1:1 as your safety net because it works everywhere
  • Export all sizes for A/B testing because different sizes perform differently for different audiences
