Error messages will appear if you attempt to upload an ad that does not match the specifications listed on Specle. Our system will check your format (Static: PNG or JPEG. Video: MP4, WMV, MOV, WEBM, MKV or AVI), size, and resolution. If the resolution is set as higher than 72ppi when exporting, the dimensions will differ from the specs.
If any of these errors appear, please check your size, format and resolution and make changes as necessary before re-uploading:
Main asset file .pdf files are not supported for this ad.
