Got an idea in your head… and a reference you love but don’t know how to recreate? That’s exactly what AI image ad is for. You bring the vision. Zeely brings the structure of ads that already work, or the reference you want to match. A few clicks later, your creative is ready to go.
​
Here's how to do it:

  1. Log in to your Zeely account: https://app.zeely.ai/

  2. In the left menu, go to Creative tools, then open Image studio.

  3. Click AI image ad.

  4. Choose an image from your library or upload a new one, then click Continue.

  5. Pick a reference. Choose it from the top-performing ad examples suggested by Zeely, or upload your own inspiration.

    You can browse using the filters above the gallery. They’re organized by product type and service category, so it’s easy to narrow things down.
    ​
    ​Don’t want to use a reference? You can skip this step. Just click the X in the upper-right corner.


    ​

  6. Set up your generation. You’ll enter the creative workspace. Here’s what to adjust:
    ​

    • Describe your idea in your own words in the prompt field, or let AI help by clicking the rhombus icon in the top-left corner. This is where you briefly explain how you want the final image to look, such as mood, background, lighting, or style.
      ​

      Even if you selected a product image and a reference, the text prompt still guides the AI. If you write something very different, the result may look different too. That’s normal.

      Adding a description is optional. You can keep it simple or click the rhombus icon to let AI generate the text for you.
      ​

    • Select the AI model that will generate your ad

    • Choose the size (aspect ratio)

    • Select the quantity of variations you want. Then, click Create ad.

  7. Once it’s ready, you’ll see your new creative on the right side of the screen.

  8. It will also be saved under Projects → Static ads, so you can revisit, download, or launch a campaign anytime.
