How it sells itself

Adly works inside your Shopify admin. Pick products and Adly makes on-brand ad designs from your photos, creator-style UGC videos, animated clips and multi-scene product films. Approve one Meta catalog template and Adly designs every product you pick, with a feed URL for Meta catalog ads. Add any result to product media in one click.

AdStudio AI turns apparel product photos into model-led advertising creatives. Select a product, choose the model gender and campaign type, then generate a social-ready image and caption. Merchants can use AI-written copy, promotion details, or their own headline and supporting text. Finished creatives can be regenerated, downloaded, or shared to the selected social platform.

Key points
  • On-brand ads from your photos, plus a designed Meta catalog feed
  • Creator-style UGC videos, animated clips and multi-scene product films
