Interstitial Ads: ads displayed during certain transitions within the flow of the app, such as post-level clearance or during pauses between game levels.
Native Ads: a type of ad that matches the style of the original content that's found on the app, blending in to provide a consistent and seamless viewing experience to end users.
Banner Ads: ads displayed in the form of rectangular banners across the app.
App Open Ads: a type of ad that's displayed when the app is opened and the user begins a session.

Ad Formats Setup
Content Source
Advertisements on Pangle are mainly created from your existing campaign assets. You can upload image files or video footage, and use these materials together with text and other features. An asset provided in a campaign can be combined with the public info about your app from the app store, such as the logo or ratings, and will be based on the provided link. In order for your creative assets to be adaptable across various ad formats, Pangle may need to fill in any empty space within the placement with a colored background or a Gaussian blur effect.
When you upload a video asset, you will be invited to select the video thumbnail that will serve as the "cover" of your video. If you do not select a thumbnail, Pangle will use the first frame of your video as the thumbnail by default. The video thumbnail will then be used as your main static image asset for ad formats that only support image ads.
