⚠️ My Export Isn't Working – How to Fix It

Troubleshoot the most common reasons an export fails or doesn't work as expected in Zuuvi.

Export not working? Here are the most common reasons – and how to fix each one quickly.


❓ I can't find the Export button

Exporting is only possible from Creative Manager – not from Studio directly.

  • Make sure your template has been saved and published in Studio first.

  • Then go to Creative Manager → your Campaign → your Creative Set, and use the Export button from there.


❓ The export is rejected or fails when Direct Pushing ads to a DSP

Different platforms have different requirements. Common reasons for rejection:

  • Missing clicktag – DV360, Campaign Manager, and Adform require a clicktag. Make sure one is added in Studio before exporting. See how to add a clicktag.

  • File is too heavy – Most display platforms have a weight limit (typically 150 KB for non-hosted, up to 4 MB for Zuuvi-hosted). Check the Ad Weight tool in Studio or Manager. How to check your ad weight.


❓ The exported file looks different from what I see in Creative Manager

This is almost always a browser cache issue. Your browser is showing an older version of the ad.


❓ The download starts but the file is empty or corrupted

  • Try the export again – this can sometimes be a temporary issue.

  • Make sure your browser isn't blocking downloads. Check your browser's download settings or try a different browser.

  • If it keeps happening, reach out to us in the chat with your Creative Set ID and we'll investigate.


❓ I exported but my ads aren't updating live

If your ads are hosted through Zuuvi, you don't need to re-export to update them – just 'Save and Publish' from the Creative Set in Creative Manager or Publish, and the live ads will update automatically (within ~20 minutes due to caching).

If your ads are not hosted through Zuuvi, you'll need to re-export, then remove the old version from your ad platform and upload the new one.
