Ads Creative Studio is beginning to roll out to more advertisers. Product images to product videos for catalog advertisers is in beta. See our [summary of Meta's announcements](/news/meta-advertising-week-2026-ai-ad-tools). Google announced new Asset Studio features at Google Marketing Live on 20 May 2026. Google says they centralise creative work and connect design tools to the latest Gemini models. ## How many images do you need? Say you test 40 new image ads a month and discard three in four. You generate 160. Predis.ai Core lists about 325 images for $19 a month on yearly billing. If every credit goes to images, 160 images use about half the plan, roughly $9.35. In practice, credits also go to videos and retries, so budget for the full plan. ## How credits work Most generators sell a monthly pool of credits. A video uses far more than an image. On Creatify Standard, the same 55 credits are listed as 7 Seedance 2.0 five-second videos or 220 GPT Image 2.5 images. Read what one output costs before you compare plans. ## Before you publish - Check every output for wrong text, hands, logos and product shape. - Write the [hook](/glossary/ad-hook) yourself, then ask the tool to build the ad around it. - Mix AI ads with real footage. See [AI UGC vs human UGC](/compare/ai-ugc-vs-human-ugc). For talking-head video, see the [best AI avatar tools for ads](/best/best-ai-avatar-tools-for-ads). We make Marxx. Its [production canvas](/features/production-canvas) makes image, video, voice, dubbing, avatars and UGC and publishes campaigns, ad sets and ads to Meta. It also reads your accounts to show which hooks and angles ran. ## FAQ ### Are there free AI ad generators? Creatify and Adobe Firefly both list a free tier.
