Hi,

I am trying to create a banner for AdWords and since I'm lacking programing skills this is very confusing. When i export the created banner in Animate AdWords won't accept it. Is it possible to create it for adwords?

Adobe Animate HTML5 banner ad for Google AdWords

1. Uncheck Combine into spritesheets in Publish Settings because JSON file which will be created is not allowed.


2. Uncheck Hosted Libraries in Publish Settings in Advance tab because CreateJS library must be included in ZIP (Zipped in ZIP is only 48 KB).
   If you need more space you can reference two libs and include other two libs


3. Include banner ad format size meta tag within the <head></head> tag in your index.html file.

    For example: <meta name="ad.size" content="width=300,height=250">

4. HTML5 banner ad for Google AdWords is, by default, clickable on the entire area of the banner ad.

  You do not need to include any clickTag code.

5. ZIP file (Adobe Animate HTML5 banner ad) must be 150 KB or smaller.

You can use Adobe Animate to Google Display Ads converter. Easy convert html5 banners from Adobe Animate CC to Google Display Ads. Select your published HTML file from Adobe Animate CC, fill out 3 fields convert and overwrite the HTML file.

Hi I am having the same problem, yet, I added the CreateJS min link to my html file and it is still not working. I have the spritesheet option in publish settings turned off and still see a white screen after publishing. Any ideas?

It's impossible to troubleshoot without seeing your actual files.

That worked great! thank you.

I have watched many tutorials and most don't mention the difference and copy and paste the first one from the list on: Image ads - Advertising Policies Help

unless you read the file type name you notice it's different.

Thanks again

Follwed instructions added meta tag and .js http reference

AdWords | HTML5 Validator  validator all fine.

But when i press the Preview button on this page no preview appears, but when I click where it should be previewed I get
"Your click was successful and should track correctly"

Is there a reason why the preview is not appearing but still 'there' ?

upload error --

Your HTML5 ad is trying to reference an asset that we can not find in your .ZIP file: temp.js?1467846319330. Make sure you have included all of your assets in the .ZIP file and that all file references do not have any typos. Once you have made the changes, try again.

add code....

<meta name="ad.size" content="width=300,height=250"> & uncheck  Hosted Libraries
