What is ImageFactory?

ImageFactory is an AI ad creative automation platform. It runs the full creative ops loop — generation, variation, multi-platform resize, and A/B winner selection — so marketers and agencies can ship more winning creatives, faster.

How does ImageFactory drive ROAS growth?

By automating production, variation, and resize, ImageFactory shortens each campaign iteration. Marketers test more creative variants at once, kill losers faster, and scale winners — compounding ad performance over time.

Which ad platforms does ImageFactory support?

ImageFactory supports Meta (Facebook, Instagram), Google Ads, YouTube, and other major digital ad platforms. Upload one creative and auto-generate every required size.

How does ImageFactory pricing work?

ImageFactory uses point-based subscription plans with a 14-day free trial. Plans grant points each cycle; points are valid for 5 years and unused points are refundable. An affordable alternative to enterprise creative-automation contracts. See imagefactory.co.kr/pricing for details.

Does ImageFactory automate creative adaptation and size versioning?

Yes. Upload one master creative and ImageFactory adapts it to 1,400+ placement sizes across 110+ ad platforms — the work agencies call creative adaptation, size versioning, or 사이즈 전개. Safe zones, file formats, and platform specs are applied automatically.

Where can I use ImageFactory?

ImageFactory works on the web, as a Figma plugin, and as a Photoshop plugin — fitting into both the marketer's and the designer's existing workflow.

What exactly is the safe area for Instagram Story ads?

At 1440×2560, exclude the top 250px (profile, timestamp) and bottom 340px (CTA button) — leaving a 1440×1970 safe band.

Do Stories and Reels have different safe zones?

Yes. Reels are covered up to 358px at the top, 896px (35%) at the bottom and 86px on each side, leaving roughly a square 1268×1306. If one asset serves both, design to the narrower Reels spec.

Where can I check safe zones for other placements?

The ImageFactory ad size guide (imagefactory.co.kr/en/sizes) lists safe-zone pixel values for 1,400+ placements, kept current with official platform guides.

Instagram Story & Reels Ads: Where Text Is Actually Safe — in Pixels

ImageFactory Engineering · Published 2026-06-12

For Instagram Story ads at 1440×2560, text and CTAs are safe inside the 1440×1970 band that excludes the top 250px (14%) and bottom 340px (20%) — the top is covered by the profile and timestamp, the bottom by the CTA button and reply bar. Reels are tighter: up to 896px (35%) at the bottom and 86px per side are covered, leaving a near-square 1268×1306. The key numbers are below; more placements are in the ad size guide.

Meta vertical placements — safe areas at 1440×2560

Placement	Excluded	Safe area	Feels like
Story (FB·IG)	top 250px, bottom 340px	1440×1970	~5:7
Reels (FB·IG)	top 358px, bottom 896px, sides 86px	1268×1306	nearly 1:1
IG Feed 4:5 (1080×1350)	64px all sides	952×1222	~7:9

The crucial detail: the same 9:16 asset has different safe areas on Story and Reels. Ship a Story-fitted asset to Reels and an extra 15% of the bottom gets covered.

Placement checklist

Put your core message in the middle vertical third — safe across all vertical placements.
Don't draw a CTA at the bottom of the image — it collides with the platform's own CTA button.
Review with the safe-area box overlaid on the output: logo, price and CTA inside?
For a shared Story/Reels asset, design to the Reels spec (1268×1306) — the narrower one wins.

How ImageFactory solves this

Pick a Story or Reels placement in ImageFactory banner resize and the safe-zone guarantee strategy applies automatically — key elements are pinned inside the safe area structurally, with the outer region AI-filled (see why we adopted this approach). Per-placement values come from the platform-guide-maintained library, so you never compute pixels by hand.
