What You Need to Know About Google Ad Sizes for the Display Network!
Working with Google Ad Sizes in Photoshop or Illustrator it is highly recommended to work with artboards. Artboards are supported in the latest version of Photoshop and are found in earlier versions of Illustrator such as the popular CS6 version. It is best practice to name the layer the size of the ad and to name the project accordingly. For example, domain or company followed by the campaign name such as DigitalShift-Promotion.ai. This was when the work boards are exported they will be named accordingly with the layers. Make sure you export the artwork in actual pixel size for example if the ad is designed as 200x200 export it as 200x200. Be careful not to upscale it to a larger size and to ensure that the file size doesn't exceed 150 KB.
