Ad, Image
Upload and manage images to later use in ad creative. Image formats, sizes and design guidelines depend up on your type of ad, see Ads Guide. See Image Crop and Ads Guide.
For example, provide an image file such as .bmp
, .jpeg
, or .gif
:
use FacebookAds\Object\AdImage;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdImageFields;
$image = new AdImage(null, 'act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>');
$image->{AdImageFields::FILENAME} = '<IMAGE_PATH>';
$image->create();
echo 'Image Hash: '.$image->{AdImageFields::HASH}.PHP_EOL;
from facebookads.adobjects.adimage import AdImage
image = AdImage(parent_id='act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>')
image[AdImage.Field.filename] = '<IMAGE_PATH>'
image.remote_create()
# Output image Hash
print(image[AdImage.Field.hash])
AdImage adImage = new AdAccount(act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>, context).createAdImage()
.addUploadFile("filename", new File(<IMAGE_PATH>))
.execute();
curl \
-F 'filename=@<IMAGE_PATH>' \
-F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.11/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/adimages
Once you have the image hash, you can use in in an ad creative:
use FacebookAds\Object\AdCreative;
use FacebookAds\Object\Ad;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdCreativeFields;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdFields;
// First, upload the ad image that you will use in your ad creative
// Please refer to Ad Image Create for details.
// Then, use the image hash returned from above
$creative = new AdCreative(null, 'act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>');
$creative->setData(array(
AdCreativeFields::TITLE => 'My Test Creative',
AdCreativeFields::BODY => 'My Test Ad Creative Body',
AdCreativeFields::OBJECT_URL => 'https://www.facebook.com/facebook',
AdCreativeFields::IMAGE_HASH => '<IMAGE_HASH>',
));
// Finally, create your ad along with ad creative.
// Please note that the ad creative is not created independently, rather its
// data structure is appended to the ad group
$ad = new Ad(null, 'act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>');
$ad->setData(array(
AdFields::NAME => 'My Ad',
AdFields::ADSET_ID => <AD_SET_ID>,
AdFields::CREATIVE => $creative,
));
$ad->create(array(
Ad::STATUS_PARAM_NAME => Ad::STATUS_PAUSED,
));

ad[Ad.Field.name] = 'My Ad'

Image for use in ad creatives can be uploaded and managed independently of the ad itself. The image used in an ad creative can be specified in the following ways:
Get available images for an ad account. Images used in every creative for the account should appear in the list.
use FacebookAds\Object\AdAccount;
$account = new AdAccount('act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>');
$images = $account->getAdImages();
from facebookads.adobjects.adaccount import AdAccount
account = AdAccount('act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>')
images = account.get_ad_images()
APINodeList<AdImage> adImages = new AdAccount(act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>, context).getAdImages()
.execute();
curl -G \
-d 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.11/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/adimages
To get specific images, specify hashes of the images in a hashes
:
use FacebookAds\Object\AdAccount;
$account = new AdAccount('act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>');
$images = $account->getAdImages(
array(),
array(
'hashes' => array(
'<IMAGE_1_HASH>',
'<IMAGE_2_HASH>',
),
));
from facebookads.adobjects.adaccount import AdAccount
account = AdAccount('act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>')
params = {
'hashes': [
<IMAGE_1_HASH>,
<IMAGE_2_HASH>,
],
}
images = account.get_ad_images(params=params)
APINodeList<AdImage> adImages = new AdAccount(act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>, context).getAdImages()
.setHashes("[\"" + <IMAGE_1_HASH> + "\",\"" + <IMAGE_2_HASH> + "\"]")
.execute();
curl -G \
-d 'hashes=["<IMAGE_1_HASH>","<IMAGE_2_HASH>"]' \

Upload an image or zip file, get back a hash, and use the hash in an ad or creative. You must include a filename extension such as sample.jpg
, not sample
or sample.tmp
.
use FacebookAds\Object\AdImage;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdImageFields;
$images = AdImage::createFromZip('<ZIP_PATH>', 'act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>');
foreach ($images as $image) {

You can upload an image instead of using an image hash when you create an ad or ad creative. Add the image file to the multi-part MIME POST and specify the file name. For example:
curl \ -F 'campaign_id=<AD_SET_ID>' \ -F 'creative={"title":"test title","body":"test","object_url":"http:\/\/www.test.com","image_file":"test.jpg"}' \ -F 'test.jpg=@test.jpg' -F 'name=My ad' \ -F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \ "https://graph.facebook.com/<API_VERSION>/act_<ACCOUNT_ID>/ads"
The response contains:
Name | Description |
---|---|
id | ID of the ad |
To copy an ad image from one account to another, make a POST
request to /act_{DESTINATION_ACCOUNT_ID}/adimages
. Provide the source account ID without the act_
prefix and a hash of the image in copy_from
. This copies the image from the source to the destination account. Your app's user must have access to read the creatives from the source account or you cannot copy images from the account.
curl \ -F 'copy_from={"source_account_id":"<SOURCE_ACCOUNT_ID>", "hash":"02bee5277ec507b6fd0f9b9ff2f22d9c"}' -F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' "https://graph.facebook.com/<API_VERSION>/act_<DESTINATION_ACCOUNT_ID>/adimages"
