Questions creators ask
Practical notes for a faster, more confident pre-publish check.
Does this template include my creative?
No. The download contains transparent guide rectangles and labels only.
Which format should I download?
PNG works broadly in editors; SVG stays vector and is easier to edit in tools that support it.
Should the guide appear in the published file?
No. Lock it while arranging the creative, then hide or remove the overlay layer before export.
How reliable are these zones?
They are a best-effort planning aid and currently pending human verification. Confirm the current platform preview.
