How to get started with Zeely?

"I just signed up. What do I do first?" Let's walk through it.

You'll start by adding something you want to promote, then create your first AI-powered creative. From there, you can download it or launch a campaign to start reaching customers.

Everything you create in Zeely starts with a product or service.

You can:

Try to include:

The more information you provide, the better the AI can pick up on what you're promoting, and the closer your creatives will match your brand.

Tip 1: For a product, upload several clear, well-lit photos from different angles, simple framing, clutter-free background, product centered in the shot. A lifestyle photo or two, with a person using or wearing it, helps even more. For a service, a few real photos of the work in action (you at work, your space, a finished result) give the AI a much stronger sense of what you offer than stock imagery or a logo alone.

Tip 2: In the description field, call out anything that must stay exactly as it is, like a book's cover design, title text, or brand colors. AI-generated creatives are meant to enhance your product shot, not redesign it, so the more precisely you describe what's fixed, the cover, the label, the logo, the color palette, the less likely the AI is to alter it by mistake.

After you've added a product, Zeely recommends starting with an Image ad. Image ads are the quickest way to turn your product photos, or just an idea, into a professional marketing creative. If you'd rather jump straight into video, you can start with a Video ad instead.

Tap Create to get going.

Tip: In the prompt field, spell out anything that must stay exactly as it is; a book's cover design, a label's text, your brand colors, a logo. AI-generated creatives are meant to enhance your visuals, not redesign them, so the more clearly you flag what's fixed, the less likely the AI is to change it by mistake.
​

Once your ad is ready, you can download it, tweak it further, or tap Launch to turn it straight into a live campaign, no need to leave the app or start a new workflow.

Now comes the fun part.

Tap Explore all tools to see everything you can create in Zeely. You'll find tools for generating image and video ads, creating AI avatars, animating images, cloning ads, launching campaigns, scheduling social posts, and more.

Each tool is designed for a different goal, so don't hesitate to explore. Open a few, see what they do, and try the ones that fit your business.

Tip: You don't have to master every tool right away. Start with the ones that solve your immediate need, then come back and explore the rest as your business grows.

Now that you've created your first ad, you can:
