Microsoft Ads ad sizes & safe zones

All 12 Microsoft Ads ad formats (10 image, 2 video), grouped by placement category — the same specs the resizer exports.

Safe-zone values are pixels (top / bottom / left / right) at the format's native recommended resolution — keep text, logos, and CTAs out of those margins so platform UI doesn't cover them. Formats without a value have no platform-documented safe zone.
