BidTheatre HTML5 banners — frequently asked
What is the file size limit for BidTheatre HTML5 banners?
BidTheatre HTML5 banners must be 150 KB or smaller. The limit applies to the packaged ZIP archive submitted to the ad server — every image, font and script bundled inside counts toward it. Banner Check measures the compressed weight and flags an error if it exceeds 150 KB.
How do I implement the click handler for BidTheatre HTML5 banners?
BidTheatre wires clicks through its vendor SDK (e.g. SDK.clickThrough for Amazon or APPNEXUS.getClickTag() for Xandr). Load the SDK script first, then bind the banner's click element to the SDK call.
Why does BidTheatre reject HTML5 banners?
BidTheatre rejects HTML5 banners for a package over 150 KB; a missing or malformed clickTag; a missing <meta name="ad.size"> tag; banner dimensions that don't match the declared size; or external assets that fail to load when the ad serves; a missing required vendor script (adsby.bidtheatre.com/js/asxhtml5.min.js); a missing required file (manifest.json). Banner Check checks all of these in your browser before you upload.
Does this validator upload my banner files?
No. The validator runs entirely in your browser — your banner files never leave your machine. There is no upload, no account and no backend.
Preflight BidTheatre creatives before you upload
Ad networks reject HTML5 creatives for small, avoidable reasons — an oversized package, a missing clickTag, the wrong banner dimensions, or an external font URL. This free validator checks your banner against BidTheatre's real requirements in the browser, so you catch problems before the ad server does. It is built by Viewst, an AI ad-production platform that exports BidTheatre-ready HTML5 banners at scale.
