18 Appendix Ad Dimensions vs. Image Dimensions Ad Dimensions are the number of pixels in the ad placement. Image Dimensions are the number of pixels in the image used in the ad placement. For hi-resolution graphics, the image dimensions are 2x the ad dimensions, so there are more pixels in the same ad space. This creates a crisper, clearer looking ad. Creative Positioning Creatives are always centered within the ad placement; therefore, in landscape orientation the large screen extension is on the left and right. See our Design Guides for further information.
