The 7 winning formats

Multiple images (2-10) a user can swipe through. Perfect for product catalogs, portfolios, and step-by-step stories. CTR is 72% higher than a single image.

2. Short video (15-30 seconds)

The single strongest format in 2026. Quick production, strong content in the first few seconds, captions on (most people watch with sound off).

3. Reels (TikTok-style)

Vertical video, 15-60 seconds. Facebook boosts Reels more than any other format in 2026. 3x organic reach.

4. A single image with strong copy

The classic. Still works if the image is high quality and the copy stirs emotion. Cheap and fast to produce.

5. Collection

A newer format that showcases several products in a mobile-first layout. Perfect for e-commerce. People scroll inside the ad itself.

6. Live video

A live broadcast — Facebook Groups get instantly notified when you go live. The highest engagement of all, but it takes effort and prep.

7. Poll

Perfect for boosting engagement — "Which color do you prefer?" People have to click, and that signals the algorithm.

ℹ️
Strategy: aim for a mix — 40% video/reels, 30% images, 20% carousel, 10% experimental (live, polls).
