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.

Shotlly works on the photos already in your Shopify catalog. Pick a product, choose a look, and generate a new background scene, a clean cutout, an enhanced or upscaled version, or an on-model image for clothing and accessories. Review the results, then add them to the product, replace the original or make one the featured image. Saved looks and brand kits keep images consistent.

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
  • Post or schedule to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and X
  • Run any result as a Meta ad and see its spend and sales in Adly
  • On-model try-on shows clothing worn by AI models, no photoshoot needed
  • Remove or replace backgrounds with studio or lifestyle scenes
  • Process many products at once with bulk image generation
  • Auto-generate and sync images when products are added or updated
