How people watch on Instagram Ads

Ads compete with posts from friends, so they have to fit in: a clear product, good light and a single message. Motion helps an ad stand out in a feed.

Set your video up for Instagram Ads

  • Use image to video so your real product is the starting frame
  • Choose vertical 9:16 for Stories and Reels placements
  • Write a voiceover with one offer and one call to action

What to show first

  • Show the product immediately
  • State the offer in the first line

An example you can adapt

Example sentence: A moisturiser jar on a pale stone surface with soft light and a slow push-in.

Example voiceover: "New season, new skin. Try our moisturiser and get free shipping this week." That script is 13 words, so the video falls in the "6–10 seconds" length and costs 2 credits in Full HD or 4 credits in 4K.

Mistakes to avoid on Instagram Ads

  • Making claims you cannot support, which can get an ad rejected
  • Using a product photo that is dark or cluttered, since the ad inherits every flaw

Before you post on Instagram Ads

  • Check Instagram Ads's current rules for AI-generated content, and label your video if asked to.
  • Check the platform's advertising policies before you run an ad
  • Keep claims accurate and supported
