320 × 480Mobile Interstitial

A full-screen mobile placement shown between pages or app screens. Display & Video 360 and Adform list it; Google Ads does not take uploaded ads in this size. The portrait frame works like a small poster: an image, a headline and a clear button.

Example. Noordkaap, Split Field layout. The dashed frame is the safe zone: text, logo and button stay inside it. Shown at its real size.

  • Cut the number of images before their quality: one strong photo weighs less than three.
  • Sizewright subsets the fonts to the letters a banner uses and steps image quality down until each package fits its limit.
  • In animated GIFs Sizewright merges held frames and keeps the photo still when a limit needs it.

Design rules for 320 × 480

Portrait. Taller than it is wide, from 9:20 to 4:5. Read from top to bottom, like a poster.

What works

  • Use the height: the image in one half, the copy in the other, the button last in the reading order.
  • Give the image one tall subject rather than a crop of a wide scene.
  • Give the headline room for two or three lines rather than shrinking it to one.
  • Show the logo once, where the reading order begins or ends.
  • Expect the banner beside the content the visitor came for: one message and a clear button, readable in a second.

Common mistakes

  • A headline shrunk to one line to leave the image more room.
  • An empty middle, because the design was made for a square.
  • A wide photo cropped down to a sliver of its subject.
  • Copy that only makes sense once the landing page is open.

Real output for fictional brands, every banner passed by the same quality checks as yours.
