Images in Discovery Ads are different than any other image ad Google–or its competitors–has rolled out. There are far fewer limitations on image type or size, and the limitations are primarily on image quality. From Google:
ensure that your ads meet our quality guidelines and focus on providing the right messages to your customers. This includes the overall effectiveness of your ad, its aesthetic appeal, professional appearance as well as its relevance to your promotion. Ads designed to draw unwarranted attention to the eye or elicit unintentional clicks are considered low quality.
