Just to make things easier for all of us, we are posting a quick reference to standard ad unit sizes. We are asked quite frequently about this and of course since a picture is worth a thousand words it will be much easier to refer our clients to this than to find a new website to link to each time.

The following standard ad dimensions have been obtained from the IAB.net website.

NOTE: All dimensions are in pixels.
