What are Amazon ads?
Standard display ads (SDA):
Amazon’s Standard Display Ads are traditional banners that appear on various Amazon-owned sites, such as product detail pages and customer reviews. These ads contribute to enhancing brand visibility and attracting potential customers during their shopping journey.
Custom display ads:
Custom Display Ads offer a more tailored approach, allowing advertisers to showcase their brand with unique creative elements. These ads provide a personalised touch, capturing the attention of Amazon shoppers and driving engagement.
Video ads

Why Amazon Ads Perform Better
When Banner Squad Builds Them
Spec-accurate files, first time.
Every banner goes out matched to Amazon’s current creative specs — pixel dimensions, file size limits, animation duration, safe zones. No resubmissions, no delays holding up your live date.
Creative is built for where it shows up.
A banner on an Amazon product detail page sits differently from one in a sponsored brand placement. The layouts, hierarchy, and CTA sizing are adjusted for context — not copy-pasted across formats.
Multiple format deliveries are standard.
Amazon campaigns rarely run one size. You’ll get the full format matrix (300×250, 728×90, 160×600, 320×50) produced in parallel, not sequenced. Faster turnaround, consistent creative across placements.
Brand guidelines, respected. Fonts, color values, logo clearspace — all observed. The banner that goes live looks like your brand, not a generic product photo with a button slapped on it.
Fast production cycles.
Typical turnaround sits between 3 and 5 business days for a standard format set. Rush timelines are workable. Either way, you’ll know exactly when files land before the project kicks off.
Amazon’s ad inventory moves fast. So do campaign deadlines. The last thing you need is a creative bottleneck costing you valuable time on placements you’ve already paid for.
AMAZON ADS FAQ’S
What sizes does Banner Squad produce for Amazon display campaigns?
Standard formats for Amazon display include 300×250, 728×90, 160×600, 300×600, and 320×50. The full format set gets produced in parallel, so every placement in your campaign receives the same creative treatment.
Why do so many Amazon ad submissions get rejected?
Most rejections come down to file weight, animation duration exceeding Amazon’s 30-second cap, or text placed too close to the banner edge. Banner ads on Amazon go through stricter creative review than many other platforms, which is why files built without that spec knowledge tend to bounce back on first submission.
What's the difference between Standard Display and Custom Display on Amazon?
Standard Display Ads follow Amazon’s fixed templates — faster to go live, less creative flexibility. Custom Display gives you full control over layout, imagery and messaging. For brands with strong visual identities, Custom is worth it. For product-led campaigns where the listing does most of the work, Standard often performs just as well.
Can Banner Squad handle the full format matrix for an Amazon campaign?
Yes. A typical Amazon advertising banner campaign doesn’t run one size. It runs six or seven across desktop, mobile and tablet placements. The production process covers the full matrix from a single brief, with consistent creative across every format and a single delivery round rather than staggered file drops.
How long does production take for Amazon display creative?
For a standard format set, turnaround runs between 3 and 5 business days from the approved brief. Rush timelines are possible. Either way, the delivery date gets confirmed before the project starts, not estimated after the fact.
Do the banners need separate files for different Amazon ad placements?
Each placement pulls from a specific format. A banner running on a product detail page sidebar uses different dimensions than one served across third-party Amazon publisher inventory. Banner Squad delivers named, placement-ready files — no guesswork on which file goes where.
What file formats does Amazon accept for display ads?
Amazon accepts JPEG and PNG for static creatives, and HTML5 for animated display formats. File size limits vary by ad type. 200KB for most standard static formats, with stricter limits for certain mobile placements. Every file delivered meets the current spec, checked before it leaves the studio.
