Sometimes you just want to move fast. You have an idea, maybe a few images or a link, and you want to turn it into a polished, ready-to-launch ad without building a full product setup first.
Good news: you can.
In Zeely Web, there are three easy ways to create a creative without adding a product in advance:
Template ad (the ability to create creative content based on proven templates from top brands)
AI Image ad (in case If you want more creative freedom and AI-driven generation)
Batch template ads (perfect when you need multiple creatives made at once)
Choose the flow that fits your goal.
Create without a product using Template ad
Log in to your Zeely account at https://app.zeely.ai/.
In the left-hand menu of your dashboard, under Creative tools, click Image studio.
Choose Template ad.
In the product section, select Import new.
In the assets window:
Paste a product link to let AI import the details automatically
Or upload your product or service images
Describe what you’re going to advertise, including key details such as benefits, materials, color, or unique features.
Tip: If you’re adding a link, use the exact product page rather than the main website page.
Click Continue.
Choose a template from the available options. These templates are based on proven ad structures designed to help your product stand out.
After AI generates your ad, customize it:
Rewrite or polish the caption
Adjust the mood or tone of the text
Swap in different images if you’d like
Change the template or update the colors to better match your brand
Adjust the size by clicking on the image. A grid will appear, and you can resize or reposition it as needed.
If you switch between square and rectangle at the top, you can choose the visual size: Post, Ad, or Story.
💡 By the way, if your template has several image slots (for example, 3 or 4), you can easily change their order. Just click the image you want to replace inside the template, then pick another from the left panel — or upload a new one.
When everything looks right, click Create ad.
Your finished creative will appear in the Projects under Image ads tab.

Add a prompt (optional). You can write your own prompt or skip it.
If you’d like help, click Generate idea, and AI will suggest one based on your image and description.
Choose the AI model for generation (for example, Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana, or ChatGPT).
