# Banner types

## Banner types {#description}

The banner type is a tool that lets the system make a decision about placing the banner on the placement. You can only place the banner on the platform if the platform and banner types are identical (and if the ad campaign is placed on this platform, of course).

For example, a 468 × 60 banner can't be displayed on a 240 × 400 platform, but it can on a 468 × 60 platform. An identical type match means that if a placement has the same parameters but a different type, like 468 × 60_2, a 468 × 60 banner can't be displayed there.

## Banner type groups {#banner-type-groups}

All banner types are divided into two groups:

1. **Predefined** banner types are provided by the system together with templates. They're used to configure the 1×1 pixel and to place banners on AMP pages and in mobile apps. You can enable or disable banner types that you use in your account.
1. **Custom** banner types are created by the user. They're mainly used in desktop site versions. You can add and remove them.

## Load types {#type-of-presentation}

**Load types** tell the system what form to load banners to the site in:

1. **Nondimensional**: Such banner code can be loaded in JSON format (or JavaScript/HTML).
1. **XML**: The [ad code](https://yandex.com/support/adfox/en/ad-inventory/codes/code-loader.md#xml-code) is just a request string. XML code is returned in response to the request.

## Add a banner type {#add-banner-type}

To create a custom banner type, go to **Settings** → **Banner types** → **Custom** and open the tab with the load type that you want (**Nondimensional** or **XML**). Click **+ Add**.

Enter the name of the new banner type. It's convenient to base the name on the placement size or format, for example: 240 × 400, 300 × 600, 352 × 200, fullscreen, or background.

If you create a banner type for video monetization, enable the **Video** option.

Click **Add**. On the tab that opens, [add a template](https://yandex.com/support/adfox/en/ad-inventory/settings/template.md). The template defines the appearance of the banner type that you add.

## Special banner types {#section_xt5_xfv_4fb}

To place ads on web pages using [AMP](https://yandex.com/support/adfox/en/ad-inventory/adfox-amp.md), use special banner types that you can find in **Settings** → **Banner types** → **Predefined** → **Nondimensional** (they have **AMP** in the name).

## Availability of various banner types {#section_yt5_xfv_4fb}

When you add a banner or a platform, all the included banner types are available to you.

If you disable a banner type, you can't select this type when adding a banner or a placement. But impressions continue for banners and placements where this type is already used.


{% note alert %}

If you remove a banner type by clicking ![](../../_images/delete-white.svg)**Delete**, all banners based on it are no longer displayed on the site.
