See every featureAdStudio 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.
StudioRunway turns one product photo into a full AI product photoshoot, with no studio and no photographer. Import products from your Shopify store, design a model by body type, ethnicity, height, and expression, then pick a studio look or upload a photo of your own location.
