The 7 winning formats
1. Carousel
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.
