You may have dreamed of designing a character for your ads, someone who looks the part, says the right things, and never misses a cue. Now that small creative wish has a place to land, and it takes only a little time to bring it into view.
Here’s how to do it:
Log in to your Zeely account at https://app.zeely.ai/.
Go to Video ads and choose either:
UGC-style video
Emotional TikTok
Hover over the avatar box and click on it. Don't worry about the image and reference steps, as those are only needed for video creation, not for the avatar.
When the modal opens, tap Create avatar.
Upload a reference image for the avatar. If you want to create yourself, even a selfie works. For the best results, use a clear photo with good lighting and a visible face.
Then fill in a few details to guide the generation:
Name for your avatar
Age (for example, young or adult)
Ethnicity (optional)
Prompt describing the person, outfit, style, pose, or scene
The more details you add, the more accurate and personalized the result will be. You can also leave the prompt empty and let Zeely generate it for you.
Tap Create avatar, agree to the Terms of Use, Privacy Notice, and Permitted Use Policy, then tap Continue. Zeely will generate your avatar in under a minute.
Once it’s ready, you’ll see your new avatar, ready to star in your ads.
Use your character in new videos, or create new ones whenever inspiration comes your way.
