Supported Banner Sizes
Every IAB banner size supported by Advlume — mobile vs. desktop breakpoints, sticky footer sizes, and how to configure sizes per ad unit in the dashboard.
Advlume supports all standard IAB banner sizes. The sizes you assign to each ad unit determine which creative dimensions can be requested from demand partners — more sizes per unit means more potential buyers and better fill rates.
Supported sizes by viewport
Mobile (viewport width ≤ 767px)
| Size | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 300×250 | Medium Rectangle | Universal size. Highest demand on mobile and desktop. |
| 320×50 | Mobile Leaderboard | Top or bottom strip on mobile. High fill rate. |
| 320×100 | Large Mobile Banner | 2× height of mobile leaderboard. Better CPM than 320×50. |
| 300×50 | Mobile Banner | Narrower alternative to 320×50. |
Desktop (viewport width ≥ 768px)
| Size | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 728×90 | Leaderboard | Standard top-of-page banner. Very high demand. |
| 300×250 | Medium Rectangle | Works on both mobile and desktop. Highest overall demand. |
| 970×250 | Billboard | High-impact format. Requires sufficient page width. |
| 970×90 | Super Leaderboard | Wider leaderboard for full-width layouts. |
| 468×60 | Full Banner | Classic format. Less common in modern layouts but still supported. |
| 336×280 | Large Rectangle | Slightly larger than 300×250. Good for content placements. |
| 320×50 | Mobile Leaderboard | Included at desktop breakpoint for hybrid responsive layouts. |
| 320×100 | Large Mobile Banner | Included at desktop breakpoint for hybrid responsive layouts. |
| 300×50 | Mobile Banner | Narrow format, rarely used at desktop breakpoints. |
Sticky footer sizes
For data-advlume-format="footer" slots, the wrapper uses a wider default size set to accommodate the fixed bottom bar across all viewports:
- 970×250, 970×90, 728×90, 468×60 (desktop)
- 320×100, 320×50, 300×250, 300×100, 300×50 (mobile)
The viewport filter automatically removes sizes wider than the current screen, so a mobile visitor will never be served a 970×250 creative.
How sizes are assigned
Sizes are configured per ad unit in your Advlume dashboard (Website → [site name] → Ad Units → [unit name] → Edit). The sizes you configure there are published to the CDN config and applied by the wrapper on every page load. Publishers do not need to add data-sizes to their HTML — the API is the source of truth.
Best practices
- Enable as many sizes as your layout can accommodate. More sizes = more eligible buyers = higher fill rate and CPMs.
- Always include 300×250. It has the deepest demand pool of any banner size and will serve as the fallback for most placements.
- For desktop leaderboards, include both 728×90 and 970×90 if your layout is wide enough — the wider size typically commands a higher CPM.
- The wrapper filters out sizes larger than the slot's available width at render time, so it is safe to include large sizes; they will only serve when the layout can accommodate them.
