Rather than upload ads individually, use the bulk uploads tool to upload multiple ads at once using a CSV file. The information fields are similar to the Ads API to better help you coordinate what information goes where.
There are two files you'll need if you want to bulk-upload ads:
An ads metadata file
The ads' creative files (which are typically images)
There are some required fields for the CSV file that you upload, as well as accepted values. Your ads will appear exactly like your file, so any space, punctuation marks, or special characters will be present if they are used. You can import the CSV template into a spreadsheet application to get started:

Important: We recommend using the File format details available on the bulk upload screen to check your inputs before you upload!
Below is an example of a CSV file containing a banner and a text link ad.

From the left navigation bar, select Content → Ads.
In the top right corner, select Bulk Upload.
Select Choose File and select your bulk upload file to upload. Select Open to upload this file.
[Recommended] Select Show/hide file format details below the Choose File button for more information about the column headers, their descriptions and accepted values, and whether they're required.
impact.com will alert you if there are any errors in the file.
Select Next.
Next, you'll need your ad creative files ready so they can be uploaded.
On the Specify images page, select Choose Files to bulk upload the ad creative files. These file names need to exactly match the file names you have in your metadata file.
Hold down Command ⌘ on macOS or CTRL on PC to select multiple ad creative files to upload at once.
Select Accept & Create Ads. Once all of the ads have been uploaded, they will appear in the Ads page.
