Are you allowed to put as much text on a picture of an ad you want now? Yesterday seen a few ads that 80-90% was text overlay on graphic image.

Best answer
Yes, but violating the old 20% rule causes your ad to be displayed less. Or so I’ve heard. I rarely include anything but a logo or web address in my FB ad photos. Let the text of the ad do your heavy lifting.

You are but Facebook will ding you. Stick to 20% rule.

What kind of ads were they? Ads using a product catalog don’t have this restriction

They’ve always let me run ads with more text it just put a flag on it to say it may not deliver or perform as well
