square 1:1 ad maker

One square file for every Meta placement that takes one

Square is Meta's most widely accepted shape: feeds, carousels, Marketplace, the right column and Messenger all take it. StoreToAds makes a 1080 x 1080 version of every ad, with the same checked price and reviews as the 4:5.

Launching soon. Early access opens in small batches; we'll email you first.

Carousel cards are square too, so a few square ads can become a carousel in Ads Manager.

Composing for a square

A square has no spare height, so the layout decides what wins. Two patterns work well:

  • Stacked: headline on top, product in the middle, price and button at the bottom. Clear and familiar.
  • Side by side: product on one half, headline and proof on the other. Good for review quotes and spec callouts.

Whatever the layout, check the ad at thumbnail size. The right column and Marketplace show squares small, so one big number or a short headline survives where a paragraph does not.

How we make the square

Every ad is designed and checked at 4:5 first. The square then shows that full design at 80% scale in the center, with 108 px side bands made from the ad's own background edges, or a soft blur when the background is a photo. Because nothing is re-flowed, a square never puts text over the product.

How it works

How StoreToAds makes it

  1. 01

    Paste your store

    Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, PrestaShop or any store with product pages. Blocked stores can use screenshots or typed details.

  2. 02

    One design, five sizes

    We design the 4:5, check every fact and the layout, then place it into 1080 x 1080, 9:16, 2:3 and 1.91:1.

  3. 03

    Use the square where it fits

    Download PNGs or one ZIP, then assign the square to carousel cards or square placements in Ads Manager.

Examples

Fictional sample brands. Drag across an ad to see the store photo it was made from; our engine designed each one from that photo and the store's data.

Questions

Is 1080 x 1080 still the right square size?

For Facebook and Instagram feeds, yes: it is Meta's recommended minimum. For the right column, Marketplace and the Messenger inbox, Meta recommends 1200 x 1200, which is larger than our square.

Square or 4:5 for my main ad?

If the feed is your main placement, 4:5 gives you more height. If you want one creative everywhere, or you are building a carousel, use the square.

If I edit an ad, does the square update too?

Yes. Edits change the ad's design, and then every size is rendered again, so all five stay in step.
