Uploading Media

Media Preview

Preview your uploaded media to check thumbnails, aspect ratio variants and file details before you create ads. It is a quick way to catch a wrong file or a missing thumbnail early.

Open a Preview

Hover over a thumbnail to see a larger version above it. Videos show a play icon. No click is needed.

Click a thumbnail to open the full preview window. You can do this from:

  • The Uploaded Media table in the Uploader
  • The ad text editing table
  • The Media Library

Press Esc to close the preview.

Preview window for a grouped video with Default, 4:5, 9:16 and 16:9 tabs above the video player and the Media Details panel below

What the Preview Shows

  • Videos play in a full player with controls.
  • Images show at full resolution.

Switch Between Aspect Ratios

If a file is grouped with other aspect ratio variations, a row of tabs appears so you can check each version. Click a tab to switch.

TabWhat it shows
DefaultThe main file of the group. If the main file is not square, its ratio is added, for example Default (4:5).
1:1The square version
4:5The 4:5 vertical version
9:16The 9:16 vertical version
16:9The 16:9 horizontal version
1.91:1The 1.91:1 wide version

Only the ratios in the group appear as tabs.
