A text-on-screen ad carries its message with written lines over footage or a plain background, with no voice. It is built for people watching muted.
When to use text-on-screen ads
Use it to turn a strong written angle into a video quickly, and to reuse footage you already have.
How to make a text-on-screen ad: 6 steps
Write it like a post. Short lines that read as one person's thought.
One line at a time. Time each line so it can be read twice.
Pick footage that matches the line. The image should confirm the sentence, not decorate it.
Keep the text in the safe area. Away from the top and bottom of a 9:16 frame.
Use contrast, not effects. Big, plain type on a dark band reads everywhere.
Close with the product and offer. The last line is the call to action.

How are these text-on-screen ads ranked?
Each brand's live ads are listed in Meta's Ad Library by impressions. Ad Feed records that order every day, so "#1 of 49" means the ad Meta delivers most among the brand's 49 live ads. The page shows one ad per brand, the best placed first. Meta publishes no spend or revenue, and neither do we.
Can I see every ad, not only six?
Yes. An Ad Feed account shows all of them as videos with filters by niche, format, hook and funnel stage, the transcript and creative read of each ad, and alerts when a brand you follow launches something new. It starts with a 7-day free trial.
