GOOGLE ADS VIDEO GUIDE

Google Ads Video Length and Size Rules: 6, 15, 30 and 35 Seconds

A 35-second video may be rejected because it exceeds the selected format limit, not because the file is damaged. Bumper ads are limited to 6 seconds, auction non-skippable ads cannot exceed 30 seconds, and skippable in-stream ads have no maximum length although shorter videos are usually more practical. Vertical videos under 60 seconds are recommended for Shorts.

ESSENTIALS

What to know before making a decision

Google Ads settings vary by objective, ad format, device and placement. Classify the format before changing the campaign.

A 35-second video is rejected

The auction non-skippable format may be enforcing the 30-second limit.

Vertical placements crop the video

A horizontal-only asset or unsafe text placement can cause poor rendering.

The message disappears without sound

Captions, on-screen copy and visual storytelling are missing.

Views increase but clicks do not

The opening lacks a clear value proposition or call to action.

02
COMMON MISTAKES

Critical errors that waste budget or block delivery

Do not force one size or campaign type onto every objective. Evaluate intent, creative and measurement together.

High

The wrong video format was selected

Bumper, non-skippable, skippable and Shorts formats apply different length rules.

High

One aspect ratio is used everywhere

A 16:9-only asset performs poorly or gets cropped in vertical and square inventory.

Medium

The file is not technically ready

Unsupported encoding, audio issues or an unprocessed YouTube upload can delay eligibility.

Medium

The opening is too slow

Users may skip before the brand, problem and offer become clear.

03
IMPLEMENTATION FLOW

Complete the setup in a measurable sequence

Validate the objective, assets, conversion action and serving status at every stage. Optimize only after enough data is available.

01

Choose the objective and format

Match reach, views or conversions with the appropriate video campaign and ad format.

02

Produce three core ratios

Create 1920×1080 horizontal, 1080×1920 vertical and 1080×1080 square versions.

03

Match duration to format

Use 6 seconds for bumper, 15–30 seconds for a concise message and skippable delivery for 35 seconds or longer.

04

Rebuild the first five seconds

Show the brand, primary benefit and strongest visual immediately.

05

Check captions and safe areas

Keep critical text away from edges and preserve the message for muted viewing.

06

Review previews and policies

Inspect mobile, desktop and TV previews, then verify the final URL and ad copy.

04
READY CHECKLISTS

Copyable plans and technical values
