Placement risk

Every placement can fail for a different reason

A display unit can miss its pixel size. A social crop can miss the ratio. A file can arrive in the wrong format, over the size limit, or without the landing URL that placement needs. One unit can still be missing while the rest are already Ready.

Specs

Turn media specs into clear upload requirements

Each placement becomes a slot. You can require exact dimensions or an aspect ratio, accepted formats, a max file size, a landing URL, and publisher instructions. The advertiser sees that requirement before they upload.

On upload

Check the creative before trafficking has to

DropAsset checks dimensions, aspect ratio, format, file size, and a landing URL when that slot requires one. Issues show as Needs attention instead of arriving as a surprise later.

  • Dimensions

    Exact pixel size when the slot requires one

  • Aspect ratio

    Ratio when the slot is ratio-based

  • Format

    JPG, PNG, and WebP against that placement

  • File size

    Flagged when the file is over the limit

  • Landing URL

    Collected when that placement requires one

Preparation

Prepare compatible files without damaging the creative

When a change is compatible, DropAsset can downscale, compress, or convert the file to a supported format. The Original stays available beside the Ready version.

It does not crop, stretch or upscale a file just to force it through.

Before trafficking

See which placements are ready before trafficking starts

Each placement shows Ready, Needs attention, or Awaiting upload. That is creative readiness for the request. There are no assignees, due dates, approvals, or priorities.

Destinations

Keep the destination with the creative

A landing URL can be required on each slot. Different placements can use different destinations, and the URL stays in the same intake as the file. DropAsset does not check link health or redirects.

Advertiser upload

One upload link for every requested placement

The public link shows each slot separately, with its requirements visible. Advertisers upload to the correct placement without an account. They can replace or remove a submission and leave a note.

Workflow

From creative request to trafficking-ready asset

  1. 1

    Define placement requirements

    Add a slot for each unit and set its size or ratio, formats, file-size limit, landing URL, and instructions.

  2. 2

    Share the public upload link

    Advertisers open one link and submit without a DropAsset account.

  3. 3

    Validate and prepare compatible files

    DropAsset checks the upload and can downscale, compress, or convert a file when that change is safe.

  4. 4

    Review Ready assets before trafficking

    See which placements are Ready, which need attention, and which are still awaiting upload.

  • Missing placements are easy to overlook
  • Corrected files create more coordination

DropAsset

  • Requirements attached to each placement
  • Validation happens on upload
  • Safe preparation can create a Ready file
  • Landing URLs are collected with the asset
  • Readiness stays visible across placements
  • Original and Ready remain distinguishable

Questions about digital ad creative intake

DropAsset checks each upload against that placement: banner dimensions or aspect ratio, file format, file size, and a landing URL when the slot requires one. The submission is marked Ready or Needs attention.

Yes. Each asset slot can require its own exact dimensions or aspect ratio, along with its own formats, file-size limit, landing URL, and publisher instructions.

No. Advertisers open the public upload link and submit files without a DropAsset account.

Yes, when the change is compatible. DropAsset can downscale, compress, or convert a supported format and keep the Original beside a Ready version. It does not crop, stretch, or upscale a file just to force it through.

Yes. A landing URL can be required on each asset slot, so different placements can carry different destinations. DropAsset stores the URL with that submission. It does not check whether the page is live or follow redirects.

No. DropAsset focuses on creative intake, validation and file preparation before trafficking. It does not currently provide ad serving, media buying, targeting, campaign optimization or performance analytics.

Start trafficking with cleaner creative inputs

Create one structured request, define the placement requirements and collect assets that are easier to review before launch.
