Image Ads

Turn a product photo into scroll-stopping static ad creatives, as single images or multi-slide carousels, matched to your goal and aspect ratio.

1 credit per image

Image Ads turns a product you have registered into finished static ad creatives. Pick a goal and an aspect ratio, choose a single image or a carousel set, and generate. Each ad also gets platform copy (caption, headline, CTA) written for you, so what comes out is ready to run, not just a raw picture.

How credits are charged

You pay 1 credit per image, and the total equals the number of images you request. A 4-variation single set costs 4 credits, and a 5-slide carousel costs 5 credits. Credits are deducted upfront when you click Generate, and if your balance is too low you get a clear error before anything runs.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open Image Ads

    In Ad Studio, click Image Ads in the Create section of the sidebar.

  2. 2

    Select a product

    Pick the product you want to advertise. This is required. If you have none yet, click the New Product card to register one first. Its photos, name, description, category, and selling points all feed the ad.

  3. 3

    Pick a Brand Kit (optional)

    Your default kit is auto-selected. Choose None to skip brand styling. A kit supplies accent colors (used sparingly) and, if it has one, a logo.

  4. 4

    Choose a goal and aspect ratio

    Select an Ad Goal and a Platform / Aspect Ratio. Both are required. The goal shapes the visual style and copy strategy, and each ratio shows which platforms it suits.

  5. 5

    Set the type and count

    Pick Single Image or Carousel Set, then set the number of variations (single) or slides (carousel).

  6. 6

    Add text and creative direction (optional)

    Turn on Text on Image to fill Headline, Subheadline, CTA, and Price. Turn on Brand Logo if your kit has one. Add free-text Creative Direction notes to steer the look.

  7. 7

    Generate

    Click Generate. You are taken to the generation detail page to watch results appear, then download each ad or add more variations.

Free vs paid

On the free plan you can create up to 3 variations or 3 carousel slides, you are limited to 5 registered products, and when a generation is paid entirely with free credits the output images carry a watermark. Paid plans unlock up to 8 single variations or 5 carousel slides with no watermark.

Best practices

  • Register the product with several clean photos and real selling points first. Richer product data yields better ads.

  • Match the aspect ratio to where the ad will actually run, for example 4:5 Portrait for Instagram and Facebook feed, or a tall Pin ratio for stories.

  • Leave Text on Image off for feed ads where the platform caption does the talking, and turn it on for sale or promo creatives.

  • Use a Carousel for storytelling or multiple selling points, and use Single with 3 to 4 variations to A/B test looks.

  • Add specific Creative Direction like "warm golden-hour kitchen scene" rather than generic notes.

Troubleshooting

The Generate button is disabled

You must select a product, a goal, and an aspect ratio. All three are required.

The button says tasks are active and keeps spinning

You already have image-ad generations in progress. Wait for them to finish, then start a new one.

Higher variation counts are greyed out with a lock

Those counts are a paid feature. Upgrade your plan to unlock up to 8 variations. See Plans & pricing.

Images came out watermarked

Watermarks apply when a generation is paid entirely with free credits. Upgrade or use purchased credits for clean outputs.
