By placement

Creative for each Instagram placement

Instagram shows ads in four places, and each one is watched differently. One product photo, four different jobs.

  1. 1

    Reels

    Full-screen 9:16 video between entertainment. Start with movement in the first second, add captions, and keep text off the bottom where Instagram shows the caption and button. Fits: UGC video, Product showcase.

  2. 2

    Stories

    Full-screen 9:16, tapped through in seconds. One message per frame, the product and offer readable at a glance, nothing important at the very top or bottom. Fits: a 9:16 static ad or a short video.

  3. 3

    Feed

    Shown between friends' posts. A 4:5 image takes more of the screen than a square one. The picture has to carry the hook, because the caption sits below it. Fits: Static Ads.

  4. 4

    Carousel

    Two to ten swipeable slides in the feed. Slide one is the hook, the middle slides prove it, the last slide is the offer. Fits: Carousel.

Questions about the Instagram ad generator

What sizes does an Instagram ad need?

Reels and Stories use 9:16. Feed posts work best in 4:5 or 1:1. Vendy makes each ad in the size of the placement you pick.

Can I make Instagram carousels?

Yes. Vendy makes carousels from 2 to 10 slides in the Instagram feed size, with the headlines written for you.

Is this an Instagram ad creator for video too?

Yes. You can make Reels with a creator, a presenter over slides, or close-ups of your product.

Do the same ads work on Facebook?

Yes. Instagram and Facebook ads run from the same Meta Ads Manager, so the same images and videos fit both.

Do I own the ads?

Yes. You get full commercial rights to every image and video you generate, including paid placements.

Your first Instagram ad starts with one photo

Reels, Stories, feed and carousels from the same photo
