X tries wooing advertisers by letting them reuse creatives made for other platforms
On Thursday, the company launched an expanded set of aspect ratio support for both image and video ads, which means advertisers can now reuse the material they’ve created for other platforms without having to reformat, crop, or rebuild their assets.
So X is now allowing advertisers to upload the same assets they’re using elsewhere on social media to its own X Ads Manager via Media Studio or its Campaign Form.
While ad sales improved under former CEO Linda Yaccarino, its 2025 revenues were still lower than they were prior to Musk’s acquisition. According to eMarketer’s forecast last May, X’s ad business was expected to start revitalizing sometime last year, which Bloomberg confirmed, but would remain half the size it was before the sale.
The company already supports other formats, including 1:1 (1080 × 1080 pixels), 16:9 (1920 × 1080 pixels), 9:16 (1080 × 1920 pixels), and 1. 91:1 (2064 × 1080 pixels). “We’re committed to empowering advertisers to hit their performance goals with greater ease and impact,” said Monique Pintarelli, head of global advertising at xAI, in a statement. (xAI acquired X last year. ) “With full aspect ratio support, brands can now repurpose creatives directly on X—eliminating reformatting, duplication, or compromise—while unlocking faster testing, brand consistency, and incremental reach among our highly engaged, real-time audience for superior results,” she added
