What Nextdoor Ads asks for, covered.
Nextdoor advises lifestyle imagery over white backgrounds, which blend into the page. Herofab's product studio sets a product in a scene, and square 2K output, 2,048 × 2,048 pixels, is above the 1,200 × 1,200 Nextdoor specifies for square and carousel images. Herofab has no 1.91:1 ratio: the 16:9 ad banner, 2,048 × 1,152 pixels, is the closest format and has to be cropped. Nextdoor requires AI-generated media to be disclosed; Herofab marks every file as AI-generated in its metadata, and the disclosure on the ad stays with the advertiser.
