The button element is your call to action (CTA), encouraging users to engage with your ad. You can customize the button element by clicking the Button icon to expand the Button Attribute Panel.

In this article, we'll cover the following:

Resizing Button

You have two options for resizing your button within your ad creative.

  • Resizing from Attributes Panel: You can resize your button within the attributes panel by entering the Width and Height in pixels of your desired size or by using the plus and minus signs to increase or decrease its size.

Moving Buttons

You have two options for moving your button within your ad creative.

The Top field will define the number of pixels between the ad frame's top edge and the button element's top edge. The Left field will define the number of pixels between the ad frame's left edge and the button element's left edge.
