What is Google Web Designer 

For Google, it is very important to ensure the quality of the content it offers to its users: Google Drive, Google Search Console, Google Photos, etc. This is why I developed the Google Web Designer tool, which allows your advertisers to create sophisticated banners in very easy minutes.

You can create events with movement, touch sensations, and rotation on mobile. The creation is super simple, you can make multiple pages with the same creativity.

In the mobile part, you can create AMP HTML5 ads, the ads created with AMP load faster than the others so they are ideal for mobile devices. In the content, you can add functionalities such as photo galleries, video players, and maps, among others. Ahh and each component measures its metrics from each of the Google platforms. It also offers the opportunity to create exclusive ads for desktop and mobile views or both views together.

Types of formats for Google Web Designer

# 1 Flip Book 

Flipbook is an external video format for the mobile web. Use your existing video assets in a novel and playful way. When someone scrolls down the page, a short video clip plays at the same rate as their scrolling. When they stop scrolling, the video stops. If they scroll up, the video plays in reverse. The scrolling video clip is a short, visually dynamic 1-5 second clip that you choose from your longest video. People can click on the video clip to play the full video with sound and video controls

# 2 Native video

The native ads are a better user experience because they conform to the appearance of the editor page, resulting in a greater commitment and greater visibility. Native video ads help you get to market faster by using a set of assets that publishers use to populate their native ad templates. Just upload your assets and a video to increase your reach on premium display inventory, including Google Outstream Video.

# 3 Parallax

Parallax is a component built into Google Web Designer that makes it easy to create a visually distinctive layered scene that animates to view on scrolling. There are two Google Web Designer templates available to demonstrate different approaches to using Parallax to build your brand: Parallax Window and Parallax Reveal.
