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.
Headlines: Up to 5 headlines, 40 characters max per headline.
Descriptions: Up to 5 descriptions, 90 characters max per description
These ads also require you to include your business name, final URL, and provide an option for including call to action text.
The parameters for Discovery Carousel Ads are the same as the above, with the only exceptions being that only one headline and description line are available, and a minimum of two images (not counting the logo) are required instead of just one.
