# YouTube Shorts UGC ads: planning a vertical set

YouTube Shorts UGC ads are vertical video ads in a personal, social style, shown between Shorts. Google's video ad specifications list 9:16 as the vertical aspect ratio (checked 2026-10-15). AIUGCAdGenerator delivers one campaign of three finished UGC-style video ads from your product URL or brief, each a vertical 9:16 MP4 of about 15 to 30 seconds. You review them and upload them to your own Google Ads account.

Start with three. Keep creating from there.

## What a YouTube Shorts UGC ad is

A YouTube Shorts UGC ad is a vertical video ad that matches the short, personal style of Shorts: an immediate hook, the product in use, captions and one call to action. Shorts ads are bought through Google Ads alongside other YouTube video ads.

_A Shorts UGC ad is not a creator video or a sponsored post. AIUGCAdGenerator ads are UGC-style creative, not content by customers or creators._
