TikTok Ads Manager structures ads into three parts: campaigns, ad groups, and ads. Once you've created a campaign and ad group, you can create an ad. TikTok Ads Manager currently supports images and videos.
Before getting started
Before you create an ad, consider that the advertising objective and ad group selections will impact the fields on the ad creation module.
Note: There is an ad limit of 50 ads per ad group. Learn more about ad account limits on TikTok.
