9:16 ad maker

Full-screen 9:16 ads, from the same design as your feed ads

Vertical placements keep growing: Stories and Reels on Instagram and Facebook, and vertical image slots in Google's responsive display ads. StoreToAds gives every ad a 1080 x 1920 version, built from the same checked design as your feed ad.

How the 9:16 is built

We never re-flow a design into a new shape. The checked 4:5 ad is placed full width in the middle of the 1080 x 1920 canvas, leaving a 285 px band above and below. The bands continue the ad's own background, or show a soft blur when the background is a photo, so the result looks designed for vertical rather than letterboxed.

Those bands land under most of the Story header and reply bar. Reels covers more of the bottom (a common working rule is about 35%), so for Reels check the button or price at the bottom of the design with the Safe zone guardrail in Ads Manager.

Vertical design rules worth keeping

  • One idea per screen. Full screen makes clutter worse, not better.
  • Product large and central, headline in the upper middle.
  • No important words in the top or bottom strips.
  • Plan for sound off: the picture has to carry the message.
  • A moving version helps in Reels: any ad can become a 7-second 9:16 MP4 on demand.

How it works

How StoreToAds makes it

  1. 01

    Paste your store

    We read products, prices, ratings and reviews from your product pages and check every one.

  2. 02

    Design once at 4:5

    Each ad is designed and checked on the feed shape first, so the vertical version starts from an approved layout.

  3. 03

    Placed into 9:16

    The design is placed into 1080 x 1920 with background bands, and a 7-second 9:16 MP4 is one click away.

  4. 04

    Upload where you need it

    Download the PNG or MP4 and add it to Stories or Reels in Ads Manager, or to a responsive display ad in Google Ads.

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 this the same file as the Story and Reels versions?

Yes. Stories, Reels and Google's vertical image slot all use 9:16, so one 1080 x 1920 file serves all three.

Does the motion version cost anything?

No. Making the 7-second MP4 of an ad does not use an ad from your plan.

Why bands instead of a fully vertical layout?

A design checked in one shape and re-flowed into another is where text lands on products and buttons get cut off. Placing the checked design keeps every fact and every margin as it was approved.
