AMPHTML ads

AMPHTML ads are created using AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) and are designed to load fast and provide an engaging and reliable experience to users. Some Google Web Designer functionality is unavailable when you work on AMPHTML ads.

AMPHTML ads in Google Web Designer

Build AMPHTML ads in Google Web Designer by selecting AMPHTML banner as the ad type when you create a new document. You can't convert an AMPHTML file into a non-AMPHTML file, or the other way around.

In the File > Open recent list, AMPHTML ads are marked with the AMP icon .

AMPHTML ads have some restrictions in order to ensure reliable performance. You can still create rich, interactive ads, but when you work on AMPHTML ads in Web Designer, some parts of the interface are disabled because those features aren't supported by AMP.

Limitations

The following Web Designer functionality isn't available for AMPHTML ads:

copying and pasting between AMPHTML and non-AMPHTML documents
animating element properties other than transform, visibility, and opacity (transform allows you to move, rotate, scale, and skew elements)
animating masks
visibility ranges
text effects
groups
components other than the amp-carousel component
responsive features (including percentage-based sizes, the Responsive panel, and media rules)
setting a primary page
dynamic data bindings
custom JavaScript (such as custom actions for events)
publishing to Studio, Display & Video 360, or Campaign Manager 360
uploading to Ads Creative Studio
