Display Specs

The ideal display campaign for Instagram consists of two separate images. A square image that appears on the main feed, and a vertical image that appears on Stories/Reels. We recommend using a square image if only one image can be provided. We can upload both images within the same creative, and the system will place the ideal image for each placement.
