## Creative Types Supported by Chartboost

-   **Animated GIF**  - These engaging ads are more lightweight than video ads and can seriously increase your eCPM.
-   **Static Interstitial**  - Full-screen static ads are the simplest and least intrusive way to grab your players’ attention.
-   **Playable Ads -** The best way to engage with your gamers is with playable ads. Playable ads must be made in  [MRAID Playable](/en/advertising/creatives/mraid-playable/)  format.
-   **Video with a static end card** - High-quality video ads captivate players with end cards that feel like personal recommendations. Reward your players with in-game goodies or virtual currency after they watch a video.

<!-- Only supported for DSP
-   **Video with a playable/interactive end card** - Playable, or interactive, end cards play after a video ad and allow gamers to interact with them.
