About this size

The 200 by 200 small square is the smallest current-spec square ad. Its inventory tends to be sidebar placements and inline content slots where the publisher needs a square format to fit a column layout.

The canvas does not hold layered copy. A single message and one CTA fit comfortably; anything more crowds the design and loses the half-second of attention the slot earns.

Pro tips

  1. 1 Single message only. The canvas does not hold layered copy.
  2. 2 Pairs with Medium Rectangle as the square alternative in most ad sets. Designs that work at 300 by 250 usually adapt cleanly to 200 by 200.
  3. 3 High-contrast typography. The format is small enough that subtle styling disappears at render scale.
