Meta Collection Ad Character Limits
Collection ads pair a hero with a product grid. Hero copy uses Feed limits; product titles cap at 30 characters.
Meta Collection Ads pair a hero creative (image or video) with a 4-tile product grid below it. Hero copy uses Feed character limits — 125 visible primary text, 40 visible headline. Each product tile in the grid caps at 30 characters of title before truncation.
The format is designed for catalog-style merchandising. Tap the hero, the user opens an Instant Experience full-screen view; tap a product tile, the user goes to that product's page. Both navigation paths have their own copy budgets.
The 30-character product title clamp is the biggest catalog-feed surprise. Most product catalogs export titles like "Ultra-Soft Cotton Crewneck T-Shirt — Size M, Heather Gray" which clamp brutally to "Ultra-Soft Cotton Crewneck T-S…" in the tile. Plan a catalog-feed override for Collection Ads that uses 30-character titles, not the full marketing title.

The catalog-feed override
For Collection Ads, maintain a separate display_title field in your catalog feed that fits in 30 characters. Use that for the tile, and reserve the full marketing title for the product detail page.
FAQ
- How many product tiles can a Collection Ad show?
- Four visible tiles in the grid. Tapping the hero opens an Instant Experience that can show the full catalog.
- Are tile titles drawn from my catalog?
- Yes. The tile pulls product data from your linked catalog. Override the title via a `display_title` field if your marketing title is too long.
- What does Instant Experience inherit?
- Instant Experience has its own per-block copy fields. See the dedicated Instant Experience page for limits.
- Can I run Collection Ads on Stories?
- Limited support. Most agencies run Collection Ads on Feed and Reels.
