When exporting your responsive designs for an ad server, you can export the design as a Live design using 3rd party tags or an Offline design as an HTML5 .ZIP file. 


We recommend exporting your responsive design as a live design. Learn more about Offline vs Live File here: Offline Files vs Live Files.


Publishing Designs Before Exporting


Before exporting your design from Flexitive, you will need to Publish your design. Publishing your design will automatically save your design and update any live files of the design exported from Flexitive. Learn more about Publishing your Design.



Choose Offline or Live Files


To export your design as HTML5 for an ad server, go to the Export panel and select the ‘Ad Server / DSP’ tab under the Responsive tab. Then, choose between exporting Offline or Live Files. 


Not all ad servers support responsive Offline Files, and not all ad servers support responsive Live Files. To see a list of ad servers & DSPs, and whether they support live or offline files, check out our related support article here: Ad Servers and DSPs Supported by Flexitive


At this time, exporting a responsive design as an HTML5 ZIP or offline file is a beta feature in Flexitive and is only available with a Fully Responsive design. For more information, reach out to a member of the Flexitive Support Team at support@flexitive.com.


Select an Ad Server


The Ad Server / DSP dropdown can be found under the 'Ad Server/DSP' tab. Use the 'Ad Server/DSP' dropdown to select your ad server. If you are not exporting for a specific ad server, select Generic Ad Server (Flexitive).



Only one ad server may be chosen per export. If you require exports for multiple ad servers, you will need to separately export for each ad server you need.


Set Export Properties



Once you've chosen an ad server to export form, you will be able to set properties for your design.

Fully Responsive vs Fixed Aspect Ratio Designs


You can choose to export your responsive design as either: 

  • A Fixed Aspect Ratio Responsive Design 
    • A Fixed Aspect Ratio Design will respond to a changing resolution while maintaining the same aspect ratio. 
    • Can be exported as either an offline or live file.




  • A Fully Responsive Design 
    • A Fully Responsive Design is a design that will completely fill the container it is displayed in, regardless of the container's dimensions. The design layout will adjust based on the different aspect ratios it is displayed at. 
    • Can be exported as a live file only.

Exporting Offline Files




At this time, exporting a responsive design as an HTML5 ZIP or offline file is a beta feature in Flexitive and is only available with a Fully Responsive design. For more information, reach out to a member of the Flexitive Support Team at support@flexitive.com.


To export an offline file: 

  1. Open the Export panel 
  2. Click the 'Responsive' tab 
  3. Click the ‘Offline File’ tab 
  4. Choose an Ad Server from the dropdown 
  5. Set your export properties 
  6. Select 'Fully Responsive' under the Fully Responsive section of the panel 
  7. Click ‘Download File (.ZIP).



Exporting an offline file will provide you with a ZIP file containing the fully responsive size you have chosen to export. The exported designs include all the images and code necessary for hosting the design, and the images will be cropped and compressed to their lowest possible file size without sacrificing image quality.


Exporting Live Files




To export a live design: 

  1. Open the Export panel 
  2. Click the 'Responsive' tab 
  3. Click the Live File tab. Choose an Ad Server from the dropdown 
  4. Set your export properties
  5. Choose the sizes you’d like to export 
  6. Click ‘Download File (.XLSX)’



When exporting a responsive design, you can set the minimum and maximum height or width for the design. Setting a value for these fields places an upper or lower bound on the dimensions of the design. 


Learn more about Minimum and Maximum Dimensions.



Exporting Tags will provide an XLSX file containing scripts that you can use to host your designs. This script calls the Flexitive CDN to display the design.

Designs exported as a Live File can be updated to the most recent version of your design by publishing the design in Flexitive. Any updates you made to your design will be automatically pushed to the Live files without having to re-export or re-traffic those designs. Learn more about Offline vs Live Files. 


Designs exported as live files for Ad Servers are hosted on the Flexitive servers, so serving fees will apply.
