# Quickstart

> Sign up for Raddivus, create your first brand, and generate your first ad in about five minutes.

This guide takes you from a brand-new account to your first generated ad. It takes about five minutes and uses free trial credits, so you can try it before subscribing.

## Before you start

Every new account starts with a **7-day free trial** that includes **10 credits** and Growth-plan access. No credit card is required to begin. The trial ends after 7 days or once you use all 10 credits, whichever comes first.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Go to the sign-up page and enter your name, email, and a password (at least 8 characters). You can also choose **Continue with Google** to skip the password. Verify your email if prompted, then sign in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your first brand">
    After signing in you land on the **Brands** page. Click **Add brand** and fill in your brand name and industry (the only required fields). Optionally add a tagline, website, logo, and up to five brand colors. Save it.

    Your brand profile is reused by every tool, so you never re-enter this information. Brands are free and you can create as many as you want.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate your first ad">
    Open **Image (Ad Generator)** from the sidebar. Pick your brand, choose an offer (for example "Free estimate" or a custom one), pick a format and number of variations, then click **Generate ads**.

    The button frees up and your ads appear as they finish, usually within 30 to 120 seconds. Each variation costs 1 credit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save or download the result">
    Hover an ad and tick its checkbox to select it. A selection bar lets you **save** it to a folder, **download** it (single image or a ZIP for several), **share** it to the Ad Library, or **edit** it with a follow-up prompt.
  </Step>
</Steps>
