Composition tips for 300×250 ad banners
Focus on readability
Since 300×250 is relatively small, keep headlines short and use a large, legible font.
Include a clear call to action (CTA)
Place your CTA button in a prominent position, typically near the bottom or center of the ad.
Center key branding logos
Ensure your company logo is visible and not cut off by the frame borders.
Avoid visual clutter
Use clean, high-contrast imagery to draw attention without overwhelming the reader.
Why your display ads might look wrong
Common issues include:
- blurry text caused by scaling down low-resolution designs
- CTAs or logos being cropped at the edges of the canvas
- too much text that becomes illegible at 300×250 px
- incorrect aspect ratio stretching
Using a high-resolution source file and keeping text concise avoids these issues.
