The Media Library

library

 

The Media Library is where you manage and upload the creative assets such as pictures and video that you use in your campaigns. To access the Media Library, click on the Campaigns tab, and select Media Library.

 

Checking the Status of your assets

In the Media Library tab, you can see thumbnails of the images/HTML banners/videos which have already been uploaded, with their status clearly marked as Approved, Pending, or Rejected.

 

Uploading assets

You can upload files to your Media Library by clicking on Upload Files and selecting the files that you require.

 

Size limits

Creative assets (images and videos) are subject to size limits, to ensure that sites run at optimal performance and achieve high ranking in search engines.

Optimization of uploads

When your creatives are uploaded to our system, we optimize them for best performance by converting PNG files to JPEG and using MP4s to replace animated GIFs for some ad zones. The optimization works as follows:

  • PNG files are converted to JPEG when uploaded.

  • Previously uploaded PNG files are converted to JPEG also.

  • MP4 versions of animated GIFs are created and used for ad zones that allow it, if enabled for that network. The following ad zones will give preference to the MP4:

    • Banner
    • In-Video Banner (JavaScript)
    • Mobile Banner
    • Mobile Interstitial Banner
    • Sticky Banner
    • Web Instant Message

Note: Both PNGs and GIFs will only be converted if the optimization will result in a smaller file size.

Note: Banners containing GIFs converted to MP4 will still function as normal banners, not video banners.
