Meta updates Placements controls with format previews and aspect ratios
Bram Van der Hallen has also flagged a refresh of Meta's Placements controls view, which now highlights the differences between platforms and placements more explicitly. Hovering over the eye icon for each placement displays a preview of how the ad will appear on that specific surface, along with recommended formats and aspect ratios, supported images, and supported videos.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means a faster QA loop during ad creation: particularly useful when uploading creative for Reels, Stories, and Feed simultaneously without manually cross-referencing aspect ratio specs.
