While last year the Large Rectangle (336&#215;280) size dominated the general ad size landscape, in 2022, 300&#215;250 took its place. Interestingly, the Large Rectangle ad size couldn&#8217;t be found anywhere in the Top 5 ad sizes used this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although this top of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/ad-reform\/the-story-on-ad-sizes-e4df06d40099\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the most popular ad sizes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might seem random, there\u2019s logic behind these choices.

However, the latter has a large inventory available, can be displayed on both mobile and desktop devices, and tends to perform well within text content or at the end of an article. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not entirely true with the 336X280 ad size. Although efficient in many ways, this ad size is too large for mobile devices \u2013 so moving away from it (in terms of popularity) might signal that more advertisers are focused on making sure their ads can be displayed on <\/span><b>both<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mobile and desktop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-73382 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/newblog.creatopy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Most-used-display-ad-sizes.png\" alt=\"most used display ad sizes\" width=\"1400\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Most-used-display-ad-sizes.png 1400w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Most-used-display-ad-sizes-600x311.png 600w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Most-used-display-ad-sizes-1024x531.png 1024w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Most-used-display-ad-sizes-150x78.png 150w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Most-used-display-ad-sizes-20x10.png 20w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Most-used-display-ad-sizes-30x17.png 30w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Most-used-display-ad-sizes-75x40.png 75w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Most-used-display-ad-sizes-80x40.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"animated_ad_sizes\"><\/a>2.1.

To be more specific, this year, 32% of the downloads were made in this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creatopy.com\/blog\/best-file-formats-for-display-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">display ad file format<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, showing a pretty significant increase in popularity. This makes JPG the undisputed winner of our analysis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s more to our format download analysis, though. In 2022, HTML ads grew in popularity, as more than one-third (32%) of downloads were made in this format. This might mean that the demand for HTML ads is growing (which is also in line with the interactive ad trend we&#8217;ve been noticing in the Type of Ads section mentioned above.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third place on the formats download top was taken by GIFs, a change from the MP4 file format that ranked in the same spot last year. PNGs, MP4s, and AMPs ranked in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh places.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-73387 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/newblog.creatopy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9-Most-popular-formats-for-download.png\" alt=\"most popular formats for download\" width=\"1400\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9-Most-popular-formats-for-download.png 1400w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9-Most-popular-formats-for-download-600x311.png 600w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9-Most-popular-formats-for-download-1024x531.png 1024w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9-Most-popular-formats-for-download-150x78.png 150w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9-Most-popular-formats-for-download-20x10.png 20w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9-Most-popular-formats-for-download-30x17.png 30w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9-Most-popular-formats-for-download-75x40.png 75w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9-Most-popular-formats-for-download-80x40.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of a Conclusion\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trends come and go, or as a famous saying goes, &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/the_more_things_change,_the_more_they_stay_the_same\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the more things change, the more they stay the same<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8221; Ad trends are no different, regardless of whether you look at ad sizes, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creatopy.com\/templates\/display\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">display ad templates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or fonts.

The world&#8217;s been quite crazy lately, so it&#8217;s comforting to know at least some of the ads on the internet look roughly the same. We&#8217;ve definitely got more interactivity with HTML and animated ads growing in popularity, but that&#8217;s something we can all celebrate! Other than that, the boat is sailing steadily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the largest part.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which, knowing how things in the creative world work, means we should expect some pretty drastic changes over the course of 2022 and 2023, as more people get bored with old choices and creatives have to come up with new ones. The Rise of Gen Z as a buying power is also likely to influence the display marketing trends we see over the next 12 months, so stick around to see how it all unfolds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if all else fails, remember: Roboto will save the day. At least for now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But then again, that\u2019s probably not news to anyone. \ud83e\udd37<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.creatopy.com\/auth\/create-account?internal_source=internal&amp;internal_medium=Blog&amp;internal_campaign=BlogContentCTA\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-70331 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/newblog.creatopy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-ad-campaigns-1-600x77.png\" alt=\"create and launch ad campaigns from start to finish\" width=\"600\" height=\"77\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-ad-campaigns-1-600x77.png 600w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-ad-campaigns-1-150x19.png 150w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-ad-campaigns-1.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The thing with trends (of any kind) is that they\u2019re rarely predictions.
