Generate ads
1
Pick your brand
Use the brand switcher or the form’s brand selector. This fills in your
business name, industry, logo, and colors. The Generator also reads the
parts of that brand’s knowledge base that match
your offer, so facts you wrote down there can show up in the ad.
2
Set the basics
Confirm your business name and industry (required), add a location if
relevant, and choose an offer such as “Free estimate”, “50% off first
order”, or a custom one.
3
Add visuals (optional)
Upload your logo (up to 2 MB) and up to five reference images (up to 10 MB
each) to guide the style.
4
Choose format and variations
Pick an output format, a resolution (1K, 2K, or 4K), and the number of
variations (1 to 4).
5
Pick an image model
The model chip beside the prompt picks which AI makes the image. The
default is Nano Banana 2, and every model costs the same, so it is
worth trying a different one when a result is not landing. See
Image models below.
6
Fine-tune (optional)
Open Advanced options to pick ad types, psychology angles, a tone, and
an objective. Leave blank to let the AI choose. See the
options reference for the full lists.

Generate
Click Generate ads. The button frees up right away and results stream in
as batches finish.
Image models
Every account can choose which image model makes the ad. Five are available today:Every model costs 1 credit per image on every plan. Switching models never
changes the price. The choice applies to that generation (or that edit) only;
your default stays Nano Banana 2 until you change it in the picker.
What happens after you click Generate
Generation runs in the background, so you can navigate away or even close the tab. You will see placeholder cards immediately, and finished images replace them as they complete, usually within 30 to 120 seconds depending on how many you requested. If you reopen the page, in-progress batches resume automatically. Each card shows what is really happening. First it shows the step the run is on (Writing the ad, then Drawing the image) over a softly moving dot pattern. On the OpenAI models (GPT Image 2, 2.5 Flare and 2.5 Sunburst) you then watch the image take shape: a blurred preview with a percentage in the corner (25%, 50%, 75%), and the finished ad replaces it in the same spot. The number only moves when OpenAI sends a real preview, so a quick image can jump straight to the finished ad. A preview cannot be saved or downloaded, and previews cost no extra credits. The Google models (Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro) send nothing until the image is done, so their cards show the step until the ad arrives.The number of images is set by the Variations field, not by how many ad
types or angles you select. Three variations costs 3 credits, regardless of
the other choices.
Working with results
Hover any finished image and tick its checkbox to select it. Select as many as you like, then use the selection bar to:- Save them to a folder
- Download them (one image, or a ZIP for several)
- Share them to the Ad Library
- Delete them
- Edit them with a follow-up prompt
Projects
Group runs into a project with its own instructions: pick one from the Project chip before you generate, or leave it on No project.Advanced canvas view
The Ad Generator also has an Advanced canvas mode that shows your brand, style, and generated ads as a visual node graph. Every input, result, and action works the same as the basic view, just laid out spatially.Troubleshooting
Generation is slow
Generation is slow
Large requests take longer. Total images equals your variations count, so
reducing variations speeds things up. You can leave the page while it runs.
