Link Google Ads and Ads Creative Studio

If you're creating ads for an advertiser who uses Google Ads, you can set up an account link so you can export creative assets to their Google Ads account.

Currently you can only export image assets from Asset Library to a linked Google Ads account. In the future, you'll also be able to export projects to linked accounts. 

Account linking is not currently required to export video projects. Instead, you can generate a code that can be shared with a Google Ads user. This code can be used to import videos to any allowlisted Google Ads account.

How it works

After you set up an account link, you can export assets to the linked Google Ads account. A Google Ads account user can then use the assets in their campaigns.

Google Ads users can make changes to assets (for example, cropping images) after they're in Google Ads. Any changes made to assets in Google Ads will not affect the original asset in Ads Creative Studio.

Bear in mind that linking accounts won't give the Ads Creative Studio account users access to view or edit the Google Ads account. Likewise, users of the linked Google Ads account won't be able to add, edit or delete assets in Ads Creative Studio.
