Meta Single Image ad format now supports 2–3 images with automatic rotation
Meta has updated the Single Image ad format to support 2–3 images per ad unit. The format is not a carousel: Meta automatically rotates the images and progressively allocates delivery to whichever image performs best.
What changed
The update reduces the need to create separate ads for creative testing, with Meta handling optimisation internally.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means a lighter-weight approach to creative testing within a single ad: useful for accounts where managing multiple ad variants adds operational complexity.
