Why use this instead of a template

Variants worth testing

Different hooks, different focal images, different colour temperature — variations that change performance, not just the drop shadow.

Every placement ratio

Feed, portrait, story and display cut from one idea, each recomposed so the headline is never cropped in half.

Light on text

Layouts favour a short hook and a clear button, which keeps creative readable on a phone and out of trouble with text-heavy penalties.

Same-day iteration

A losing creative can be replaced before the budget notices.

How the ad creative generator works

Four steps, and only the first one costs credits.

  1. 1

    State the offer

    What you are selling, to whom, and the hook you want on screen.

  2. 2

    Generate the first cut

    You get a composed ad with headline, product focus and call to action.

  3. 3

    Ask for variants

    New hook, warmer palette, product on the left — each variant edits from the original.

  4. 4

    Export the set

    Download every ratio and load them into the ad manager.

What to change between test creatives

On paid social the creative is the targeting, so the fastest route to a lower cost per acquisition is usually more distinct swings at the hook rather than another round of polish. But a test only teaches you something if the variants differ in one deliberate way:

The hook
The biggest lever by far. A benefit line against a question against a number will separate on click-through long before any visual change does.
The focal image
Product alone, product in use, or a person holding it. These three routinely produce different costs per click for the same offer.
Colour temperature
Warm against cool changes how a creative sits in a feed. Cheap to test and occasionally decisive.
The call to action
Shop now, learn more, get the guide. Match it to how ready the audience actually is, not to how ready you would like them to be.
Text weight on the image
A heavy headline against a nearly text-free image. Light-text creative often reads as organic and performs differently as a result.

Change one of these at a time and the set stays comparable. The bottleneck was always production cost — when a variant takes one sentence instead of one afternoon, testing five hooks becomes a normal Tuesday rather than a quarterly project.

Ad sizes by placement

Every platform rewards creative built for its own slot. These are the ones worth generating separately:

Meta & Instagram feed — 1080 × 1080 (1:1)
The safe default, and the one that survives being reshared anywhere else without recomposition.
Feed portrait — 1080 × 1350 (4:5)
Takes more vertical feed space than square, which is why most Meta buyers now default to it for cold traffic.
Stories & Reels, TikTok — 1080 × 1920 (9:16)
Full screen. Keep the hook and CTA out of the top and bottom sixths, where the interface and the profile row sit.
LinkedIn single image — 1200 × 627 (1.91:1)
A wide strip rather than a square. A feed creative dropped in here loses its top and bottom.
Display — 300 × 250 and 728 × 90
The medium rectangle and the leaderboard still carry most display inventory. Add 160 × 600 and 320 × 50 for full coverage.

Generating each ratio separately avoids the classic failure where a square ad in a story slot leaves grey bands top and bottom and the CTA lands under the interface.

Matching creative to the landing page

Click-through is half the job; the other half is not losing people on arrival. When the ad and the landing page share a headline, a palette and a hero image, the visit feels continuous and bounce drops.

Because the same tool generates both, holding that thread costs nothing: describe the page, then ask for ad creative that matches it.

Ad Creative Generator FAQ

Describe the offer, who it is for, and the hook you want on screen — in quotes if the wording is fixed. Generate the first cut, then ask for variants that change one thing at a time: a new hook, a warmer palette, the product on the left. Export each placement ratio and load the set into your ad manager.

Any placement that takes a static image — Meta, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest and display networks. Generate the ratio each placement wants.

No — this generates static image creative only. If your campaign needs video or an AI presenter, use a dedicated video tool for those placements and this for the static slots, which still carry most feed and display inventory.

Not automatically — there is no URL import. Name your colours in the prompt, or attach your logo or a screenshot of your site as a reference image, and the creative is generated to match. It takes one extra step and gives you more control over which parts of the brand carry through.

No. There is no ad-manager integration, so you download the files and upload them in the platform as you would any other creative. Everything exports at the exact size each placement expects, so nothing needs resizing on the way.

No. Nothing is stamped on your export, including on the free plan, so creative can go straight into a live campaign.

Yes. Ask for variants with a new hook, palette or focal image and each is built from the original design, so the set is comparable.

Attach it as a reference and the ad is composed around your actual product rather than a generated stand-in.

It renders the headline and button text into the design, and will put its own wording there if you do not supply any — but treat that as a placeholder, not as tested ad copy. Put the exact words in quotes and they are set as typed. The caption or primary text that sits alongside the ad in the platform is still yours to write.

Yes — free credits, no card required. Generations cost 2 credits each; refinements and exports are unlimited.
