# Ad Generator

> Generate original ad images from scratch with AI. Pick your offer and brand, then create up to 4 variations at 1 credit each.

The Image (Ad Generator) creates brand-new ad images from scratch. You provide your offer and brand, choose some creative options, and the AI generates multiple unique ads ready to download or upload to Meta. It does not copy anything, it generates original creative for your business.

**Where:** sidebar → **Image**. **Cost:** 1 credit per variation. **Plans:** all.

## Generate ads

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick your brand">
    Use the brand switcher or the form's brand selector. This fills in your
    business name, industry, logo, and colors.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose format and variations">
    Pick an output format, a resolution (1K, 2K, or 4K), and the number of
    variations (1 to 4).
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/create-ads/ad-options-reference) for the full lists.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Click **Generate ads**. The button frees up right away and results stream in
    as batches finish.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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.

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## 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

Selecting, downloading, deleting, saving, and sharing are free. An edit re-runs the generator at the normal cost (1 credit per image).

## 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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My logo or reference image was rejected">
    Use JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF. The logo must be 2 MB or less, and reference
    images 10 MB or less each.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Brand colors aren't showing">
    Make sure the brand color and typography toggles are on and that your brand
    has colors set in its profile.
