Use the bulk uploads tool to upload multiple ads at once using a CSV file, rather than upload ads individually. The information fields are similar to the Ads API to help you coordinate what information goes where.
You'll need two files to perform a bulk ad upload:
An ads metadata file
The ads' creative files, which are typically images
There are required fields and accepted values for the CSV file that you upload. Your ads will appear exactly like your file, so any space, punctuation marks, or special characters will be present if they are used. To get started, either copy the CSV template displayed below and paste it into a spreadsheet application or download it here and import it directly.

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. Your uploaded file names must match the names in the creative field in your metadata file exactly (e.g., if the creative field contains
Example.jpg, the ad creative file you upload should also be namedExample.jpg.)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.
