Use PNGs to identify the creative source
Use the following guidelines to ensure that your image can be used to accurately identify creative sources:
- Upload an original PNG file
- Don’t modify the screenshot after it was taken. However, you can crop the screenshot to the ad as long as the entire ad is still visible.
- Don’t convert an image to PNG (i.e. saving a JPG as a PNG)
Screenshots taken on Android devices are automatically saved as PNG.
For screenshots taken on iOS devices, use the following steps to save as a PNG:
- Take a screenshot.
- Click Save to photos.
- Open the Photos app and click on the screenshot.
- On the screenshot, click.
- Select the mail app.
- Send the image to yourself and select Actual Sizefor the image size, which will send the image as a PNG. Sending sizes other than Actual Sizewill send as JPG.
