HTML5 ads for AdMob campaigns

HTML5 ads are ads that use HTML5 files created in Google Web Designer to create attention-catching, interactive ads. You can design and build HTML5 advertisements and other web content in Google Web Designer's integrated visual and code interfaces, then export and upload the files in .ZIP format when you create your campaign in AdMob.

Note: HTML5 ads are only available if you're advertising a website or an app hosted somewhere else.  

Some Google Web Designer components are not supported in AdMob.

Get started using Google Web Designer

Google Web Designer is an advanced web application that lets you design and build HTML5 advertisements and other web content using an integrated visual and code interface. Using Google Web Designer's design view you can create content using drawing tools, text, and 3D objects, and you can animate objects and events on a timeline. Once you're done creating your content, Google Web Designer outputs clean human-readable HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript.

You can use Google Web Designer to create HTML5 ads for use in AdMob ads. First, download Google Web Designer, then use the instructions in the Google Web Designer help center to create an ad.

Create a new ad from scratch using the AdMob environment or use a template that has Google AdMob as a supported platform.

Ads must comply with Google Ads policies.
