Collection ads

Make it easy for people to browse your products.

Now it's simple to get from discovery to checkout.

One of the primary ways in which people discover new products and offerings is through mobile video. But when they're ready to browse more or make a purchase, they expect a clean and fast-loading mobile experience.

Collection is an ad format that lets people move from discovery to purchase in a smooth and immersive way. Each collection ad features a primary video or image with three smaller accompanying images below in a grid-like layout. Customers who tap on your collection ad to browse or learn more will be seamlessly taken to a fast-loading visual post-click experience powered by Instant Experience – all without leaving Facebook or Instagram.

Find the right template for your collection ad.
