What marketers ask about ad previews
How close is the preview to the real ad?
Each layout follows the platform's published specs and the way the apps show ads today. Platforms test new layouts often, so small details can differ. Use the platform's own preview as the last check before you publish.
Are my images and videos uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser reads the file and draws the preview on your device. Nothing is sent to us. Share links carry only your text, so the person you share with adds the image themselves.
Which platforms and placements can I preview?
Facebook and Instagram (Feed, Stories, Reels, Threads, Explore, Marketplace, Search, Right column, Audience Network, carousel, collection and Instant forms), Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Demand Gen, Display and App), YouTube (in-stream, non-skippable, bumper, in-feed, Shorts, Masthead and TV), TikTok (in-feed, Spark Ads, carousel, TopView, search, shopping and the Ad Network), LinkedIn (image, video, carousel, document, event, article, Thought Leader, lead gen forms, message, conversation, text, Spotlight and Follower ads), X (posts, website and app cards, carousel, vertical video, Amplify pre-roll and Spotlight), Snapchat (Snap ads, Spotlight, Story ads, collection, Sponsored Snaps, Commercials, dynamic product ads and lead forms), Pinterest (feed, close-up, video, max-width video, carousel, collections, shopping, search, Idea, Showcase and Quiz ads) and Microsoft Ads (Search, Multimedia, Shopping, Copilot, MSN and Outlook).
What is the approval sheet?
A PDF with every placement of your ad and the copy listed for sign-off, with tick boxes for approved, approved with changes or not approved. It is free; we ask for your email once.
Does the advisor score match the platform's own rating?
No. It is our own checklist, based on each platform's limits and guidance, to catch problems early. Google's Ad Strength and Meta's delivery decisions use their own data.
Is this tool made by the ad platforms?
No. Ad Preview Studio is an independent tool built by AdvanSEM. Platform names are trademarks of their owners.
