# Advalidation

> Advalidation is an automated ad creative validation platform used by publishers, ad operations teams, and ad tech companies. Upload display banners, video files, or VAST tags and receive structured test results covering file weight, dimensions, duration, click-through verification, SSL compliance, and 40+ other checks.

## About

Advalidation helps organizations ensure ad creatives meet technical specifications before they go live. It catches issues like oversized files, broken click tracking, non-HTTPS requests, and VAST XML errors -- problems that cause rejected ads, lost revenue, and poor user experience.

The platform supports display creatives (hosted images, HTML5, ad tags) and video creatives (hosted video files, VAST/VPAID tags with variation detection and media file analysis).
