You can cancel your ImagineArt subscription at any time. Cancellation stops future billing but does not immediately remove your access. Cancelling your subscription removes access to all paid features — including Pro models and team collaboration — at the end of your current billing period. Make sure to export or save any work you want to keep before your access changes. ## How to cancel Go to [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and sign in. Click your **profile picture** in the top-right corner and select **Billing & Subscription**. Scroll to your active plan and click **Cancel subscription**. You may be shown a confirmation prompt or a brief retention flow — read through it and confirm your cancellation. You should receive a confirmation email at your account email address. Your subscription status in **Billing & Subscription** will update to show the date your paid access ends. ## What happens after you cancel? ### Access and features Your paid plan remains active through the **end of your current billing period**. During this time you continue to have access to all paid features, including Pro models and your current team seats. After the billing period ends, your account reverts to the Free plan: * You receive **100 free credits per day** (no monthly subscription credits) * **Pro models** are no longer accessible * Team collaboration features and additional seats are removed ### Subscription credits Unused subscription credits are **forfeited** when your paid period ends. Subscription credits do not roll over and cannot be refunded. ### Top-up credits Top-up credits never expire. If you purchased top-up credits (also called Tokens in the app), they remain on your account after cancellation. You can spend them on features available under the Free plan. ## Resubscribing You can resubscribe at any time by going to **Billing & Subscription** and selecting a new plan. Your previous content and settings are preserved on your account. ## Need help? If you have trouble cancelling or have a question about your billing, contact [billing@imagine.art](mailto:billing@imagine.art) with your account email and a description of the issue. ## Related * [Subscription plans](/account/subscription-plans) * [Refund policy](/policies/refund-policy) * [Update billing information](/account/updating-billing) # Delete Account Source: https://docs.imagine.art/account/delete-account How to submit an ImagineArt account deletion request and what happens to your data. If you want to permanently delete your ImagineArt account, you can submit a deletion request through the app or by contacting support. Account deletion is irreversible. Account deletion is permanent. Once your account is deleted, all your data — including your gallery, generation history, saved settings, and any remaining credits — is removed and cannot be recovered. Make sure to download any content you want to keep before submitting a request. ## How to request account deletion Before submitting a deletion request, download any images or videos from your gallery that you want to keep. After deletion, this content cannot be retrieved. If you have an active paid subscription, cancel it first to stop future billing. You can do this from **Billing & Subscription** in your account settings. See [Cancel subscription](/account/cancel-subscription) for step-by-step instructions. You can request deletion in one of two ways: **From within the app:** 1. Click your **profile picture** in the top-right corner. 2. Go to **Account Settings**. 3. Scroll to the **Danger zone** or **Delete account** section and follow the prompts. **By email:** Email [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) from the address associated with your account. Include the subject line "Account deletion request" and confirm that you want your account and all associated data permanently deleted. For security, ImagineArt may ask you to verify your identity before processing the deletion. Respond promptly to any verification request from the support team. Account deletion is typically processed within a few business days. You will receive an email confirmation when your account has been deleted. ## What data is deleted? When your account is deleted, ImagineArt removes: * Your profile information (name, email, sign-in connections) * Your gallery and all generated content stored on the platform * Your generation history and usage analytics * Any saved prompts, preferences, and settings * Remaining subscription credits and top-up credits ## Data that may be retained ImagineArt may retain certain data for a limited period as required by law or legitimate business purposes, such as billing records needed for tax compliance. This is detailed in the [Privacy Policy](/policies/privacy-policy). ## Account Deletion Policy For the full policy governing account deletion, including data retention timelines, see the [Account Deletion Policy](https://www.imagine.art) on the ImagineArt website. ## Related * [Privacy policy](/policies/privacy-policy) * [Cancel subscription](/account/cancel-subscription) # Mobile App Source: https://docs.imagine.art/account/mobile-app Download and use ImagineArt on iOS and Android to create images and videos from your phone or tablet. ImagineArt is available on both iOS and Android. This page covers where to download the app, how to get started, and how to fix common issues on mobile. ## Download the app | Platform | Link | Requirements | | ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | | **iOS** | [Download on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/imagineart-ai-video-generator/id1664121419) | iOS 18.2 or later | | **Android** | [Get it on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/search?q=imagineart\&c=apps) | Android 8.0 or later | ## What you can do on mobile The ImagineArt mobile app gives you access to the core creative tools: * **Generate images** — write a prompt and generate images using the same models available on web * **Generate videos** — create videos from text or from an existing image * **Browse your gallery** — view, download, and share your past generations * **Manage credits** — check your credit balance and purchase top-ups * **Account settings** — update your profile and manage your subscription Some advanced features — such as Workflows (Imagine Flow) and certain editing tools — are currently optimized for the web experience at [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art). Check the app for the latest list of supported features, as new tools are added regularly. ## Signing in on mobile The mobile app supports the same sign-in methods as the web: * Google * Facebook * Discord * Email and password Your account, credits, and gallery are shared across web and mobile — sign in with the same account on both platforms to access your content everywhere. ## Credits on mobile Your credit balance is shared between web and mobile. Credits you earn or spend on one platform are reflected on the other in real time. If you need to buy top-up credits (Tokens), you can do so from within the mobile app. ## Common issues on iOS **My plan hasn't activated after subscribing** This is usually an App Store sync delay. Go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions and confirm ImagineArt shows as active. Then open the app and look for a "Restore purchases" option. If it still doesn't activate, contact us at [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) with your Apple receipt. **The app is crashing on launch** Force-close the app and reopen it. If the issue continues, uninstall and reinstall from the App Store. If it keeps crashing after a reinstall, reach out to [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) with your device model and iOS version. **My images aren't saving to my gallery** Go to Settings → ImagineArt → Photos and make sure photo library access is enabled. If it's already on, a reinstall usually fixes it. **How do I cancel my iOS subscription?** Go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions → ImagineArt → Cancel Subscription. Cancellations apply to the next billing cycle. For billing disputes, contact Apple Support directly. ## Common issues on Android **Google Play charged me but my plan isn't active** Open the Play Store, go to Subscriptions, and confirm ImagineArt is listed as active. Then reopen the app. If the plan still doesn't reflect after a few minutes, email us at [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) with your Google Play Order ID. **The app is stuck on the loading screen** Go to Settings → Apps → ImagineArt → Storage → Clear Cache, then reopen the app. If that doesn't work, try a full reinstall from the Play Store. If you're using a VPN, try disabling it as this can sometimes interfere with the login process. **I'm stuck in a login loop** This is usually caused by an expired session token. Fully log out, clear the app cache (Settings → Apps → ImagineArt → Storage → Clear Cache), then log back in. Disabling any active VPN before logging in can also help. **How do I cancel my Android subscription?** Open the Play Store, tap your profile icon, then go to Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → ImagineArt → Cancel subscription. Cancellations apply to the next billing cycle. For billing disputes, contact Google Support directly. ## Issues on both platforms **Credits were deducted but no image was generated** Check your generation history in the app — failed or interrupted generations can still deduct credits. If the history doesn't account for the drop, email [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) with your account details and we'll look into it. **My web subscription isn't showing on the app (or vice versa)** Mobile and web subscriptions are now synchronized. To link them, log in at imagine.art using the same email address associated with your Google Play Store or App Store account and your plan will reflect automatically. If it still isn't showing after logging in, contact us at [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) and we'll get it sorted. Still having trouble? Contact us at **[support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art)** and include your device model, OS version, and a description of the issue. # Password Recovery Source: https://docs.imagine.art/account/password-recovery How to recover your ImagineArt account if you forgot your password or can't remember which sign-in method you used. ImagineArt supports four sign-in methods: **Google**, **Facebook**, **Discord**, and **Email**. If you are locked out of your account, follow the guidance below for your method. ## Forgot your password (email sign-in) Visit [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and click **Sign in**. On the email sign-in form, click the **Forgot password?** link below the password field. Type the email address associated with your ImagineArt account and click **Send reset link**. You will receive a password reset email within a few minutes. Check your spam or junk folder if it doesn't arrive promptly. Click the link in the email. You will be taken to a page where you can enter and confirm a new password. The link expires after a short time, so complete this step promptly. Return to [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and sign in using your email and new password. ## Not sure which sign-in method you used? If you can't sign in, you may be trying the wrong method. Here are tips for each option: Try signing in with each social option one at a time. ImagineArt will tell you if no account is linked to a given method, which helps you narrow down which one you originally used. ### Google Click **Continue with Google** and select the Google account you used when you signed up. If you have multiple Google accounts, try each one. ### Facebook Click **Continue with Facebook** and log in with your Facebook credentials. Make sure you are using the same Facebook account you connected at registration. ### Discord Click **Continue with Discord**. You will be redirected to Discord to authorize the connection. Ensure you are signed in to the correct Discord account. ### Email If you registered with an email and password, use the **Forgot password?** flow described above. Check all email addresses you might have used when signing up. If you signed up with a social method (Google, Facebook, or Discord), there is no password to reset — your sign-in is handled entirely by that provider. Use the provider's own account recovery flow if you are locked out of the social account itself. ## Still can't access your account? If none of the above works, email [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) with: * The email address you believe is associated with your account * The sign-in method you think you used * Any additional context (when you last successfully signed in, etc.) The support team will help you recover access. ## Related * [Troubleshooting your account](/account/troubleshooting) * [Account deletion](/account/account-deletion) # Sign Up and Sign In Source: https://docs.imagine.art/account/sign-up-sign-in How to create an ImagineArt account and sign in — covering all four authentication methods, troubleshooting, and support contacts. ImagineArt supports four authentication methods: **Google**, **Discord**, **Email**, and **Facebook**. You must use the same method every time — accounts are tied to the method you chose at registration. Use **Continue with Google** for the easiest and quickest access. Google sign-in requires no password to manage and is the most commonly used method. ## Creating a new account Visit [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and click **Sign Up**. Select one of the four options below. Your choice here becomes your permanent sign-in method. * **Google** — Links your existing Google account. Requires a verified Google account with accessible credentials. * **Discord** — Links your Discord account. Your Discord login credentials will serve as your ImagineArt credentials. Account must be verified. * **Email** — Creates a traditional account with a unique password. A verification email will be sent to confirm your address. * **Facebook** — Links your Facebook account. You will use the same Facebook credentials to sign in to ImagineArt. Follow the prompts for your chosen method. For Email sign-up, check your inbox (and spam folder) for a verification email and click the link to confirm your address. Once verified, you are signed in and ready to use ImagineArt. New accounts receive **100 free credits** that refresh every 24 hours. ## Signing in to an existing account Visit [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and click **Log In**. Choose the same method you used when you created your account: * **Google** — Select your Google account and authorize access. * **Discord** — Enter your Discord credentials and authorize platform access. * **Email** — Enter your email address and password. * **Facebook** — Enter your Facebook credentials and authorize access. ## Troubleshooting Try each method one at a time — Google, Facebook, Discord, then Email. ImagineArt will indicate when no account is linked to a given method, which helps you narrow it down. Google is the most commonly used method and is a good starting point. This means an account with your email is already registered. Instead of signing up again, click **Log In** and use the method you originally registered with. 1. Check your spam or junk folder. 2. Verify you entered the correct email address. 3. Wait a few minutes, then request a new verification email. 4. If the email still doesn't arrive, contact [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art). * Confirm you are signed in to the correct Discord account. * Check that your Discord account email is verified. * Clear your browser cache or try an incognito window. * Re-authorize the connection between Discord and ImagineArt. * Confirm you are selecting the correct Google account (you may have multiple). * Disable any pop-up blockers that might prevent the Google authorization window from opening. * Try signing in from an incognito window with extensions disabled. * Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. On the sign-in page, click the **Forgot password?** link. Enter your email address and follow the instructions in the reset email. If you signed up with Google, Facebook, or Discord, there is no ImagineArt password — use your provider's own account recovery flow instead. See [Password Recovery](/account/password-recovery) for the full step-by-step process. ## Contact support | Issue | Contact | | -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Account access, sign-in problems | [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) | | Billing and payment issues | [billing.support@imagine.art](mailto:billing.support@imagine.art) | | Community help | [ImagineArt Discord server](https://discord.gg/imagineart) | ## Related * [Password Recovery](/account/password-recovery) * [Subscription Plans](/account/subscription-plans) * [Troubleshooting your account](/account/troubleshooting) # Subscription Plans Source: https://docs.imagine.art/account/subscription-plans Compare ImagineArt's Free, Basic, Standard, Ultimate, Creator, and Enterprise plans, pricing, credits, billing options, and features. ImagineArt uses **credits** as the currency of the platform. You spend credits to explore different tools, image, video, workflows, apps, and more. All paid plans are available for **Individuals** and **Teams**, and you can choose **Monthly**, **Quarterly**, or **Yearly** billing. Discounts and promotions can change over time. Always confirm the final prices on the live [Subscription page](https://www.imagine.art/subscription). ## Credits & Refresh Rules Credits are assigned monthly and **never roll over**. * Credits refresh **every month**, regardless of which billing term you're on. * At the **end of each month**, unused credits **expire** and are replaced by a fresh allotment. * If you run short during the month, you can **upgrade your plan** or **buy top-up credits**. ### Billing term vs. credit refresh | Billing term | How you're charged | Credits | | ------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | **Monthly** | Billed every month | Refresh each month; unused credits expire at month-end | | **Quarterly** | Billed once every 3 months | Still refresh monthly — 3 refreshes per quarter | | **Yearly** | Billed once every 12 months | Still refresh monthly — 12 refreshes per year | *** ## Plan Overview **100 credits per day**, refreshed daily. * Access to standard models * No premium or Pro models * Great for trying the platform No payment required. **\$13 / month** — first step beyond Free. * **3,000 credits** per month * Access to premium models * Faster generation **\$30 / month** — most popular plan. * **8,000 credits** per month * Premium models * **3 team seats** * Private generations, prompt enhancer, upscale, 1080p exports **\$50 / month** — for power users. * **16,000 credits** per month * Unlimited video and image generation * **6 team seats** * 4K video, up to 14 image references * Priority queue **\$250 / month** — for larger creative teams. * **100,000 credits** per month * Unlimited generation, unlimited personalizations * **20 team seats** * 5 concurrent video generations * Highest priority queue **Custom pricing** for organizations. * Custom credit allocation * Custom seat count * SSO, SLAs, and tailored configuration [Contact sales](https://www.imagine.art/subscription) to get started. *** ## Pricing Tables ### Monthly | Plan | Price / Month | Credits / Month | Image Gens\* | Video Gens\* | Team Seats | Priority Queue | | -------------- | ------------- | --------------- | ------------ | ------------ | ---------- | -------------- | | **Free** | Free | 100 / day | Limited | Limited | — | No | | **Basic** | \$13 | 3,000 | \~600 / mo | \~97 / mo | 1 | No | | **Standard** | \$30 | 8,000 | \~1,000 / mo | \~125 / mo | 3 | No | | **Ultimate** | \$50 | 16,000 | \~3,000 / mo | \~375 / mo | 6 | Yes | | **Creator** | \$250 | 100,000 | \~8,000 / mo | \~1,000 / mo | 20 | Highest | | **Enterprise** | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom | ### Quarterly (15% Discount) | Plan | Effective Price / Month | Billed Quarterly | Credits / Month | | ------------ | ----------------------- | ---------------- | --------------- | | **Basic** | \$11 | \$33 | 3,000 | | **Standard** | \$25 | \$75 | 8,000 | | **Ultimate** | \$41 | \$125 | 16,000 | | **Creator** | \$213 | \$640 | 100,000 | ### Yearly (30% Discount) | Plan | Effective Price / Month | Billed Yearly | Credits / Month | | ------------ | ----------------------- | ------------- | --------------- | | **Basic** | \$9 | \$108 | 3,000 | | **Standard** | \$20 | \$240 | 8,000 | | **Ultimate** | \$34 | \$410 | 16,000 | | **Creator** | \$175 | \$2,100 | 100,000 | Credits **still refresh monthly** even when billed quarterly or yearly.

Define exactly how many credits and seats your organization needs. No hard caps — everything is negotiated to fit your actual usage. SSO/SAML integration, advanced permission controls, and data handling arrangements to meet your organization's requirements. Service level agreements with guaranteed response times and escalation paths for production-critical workflows. A direct line to the ImagineArt team — onboarding assistance, training, and ongoing account management. ### Who Enterprise is for * Studios and agencies running high-volume production pipelines * Companies that need centralized billing across many users or departments * Organizations with SSO, compliance, or audit requirements * Teams that need more than 20 seats or 100,000 credits per month ### How to get started Visit [imagine.art/subscription](https://www.imagine.art/subscription) and use the **Enterprise contact** option, or email [billing@imagine.art](mailto:billing@imagine.art) to speak with the sales team. Come prepared with your approximate monthly generation volume, team size, and any compliance or integration requirements. *** ## Individuals vs. Teams The plan tables above apply to both **Individual** and **Team** accounts. The key difference is how seats work: * **Individual** accounts use a single login. * **Team** accounts share the same credit pool and subscription across all members, up to the seat limit included in your plan (3 / 6 / 20 for Standard / Ultimate / Creator). Teams can centralize billing, add members, and manage access from a shared workspace. If you need more seats than your plan includes, contact sales for an Enterprise arrangement. *** ## Legacy Plans If you purchased a plan **before 27 September 2025**, you are on a **legacy plan**. Legacy plans may have different prices and credit amounts compared to the tables above. Contact [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) or [billing@imagine.art](mailto:billing@imagine.art) to confirm your current entitlements. *** ## Running Out of Credits If you hit your credit limit before the month ends: * **Upgrade your plan** — move to a higher tier for a larger monthly allotment. * **Buy top-up credits** — one-time purchases that follow the credit usage policy and are consumed after your subscription credits run out. Top-ups are separate from your recurring subscription. In the app, top-ups may appear as **Tokens**. View and manage your subscription at [imagine.art/subscription](https://www.imagine.art/subscription). *** ## Payment Methods ImagineArt accepts the following payment methods, all processed with bank-grade encryption: * **Credit card** — all major cards accepted * **Debit card** — must be enabled for online transactions * **Link Payment** — secure checkout linked directly to your bank account Credits are issued only after payment is successfully received. Failed or reversed transactions may result in a temporary pause to account access until resolved. All sales are subject to the [refund policy](https://help.imagine.art/terms-and-policies/refund-policy). *** ## Related * [Sign up and sign in](/account/sign-up-sign-in) * [Upgrade or downgrade your plan](/account/upgrade-downgrade) * [Cancel your subscription](/account/cancel-subscription) * [Update billing information](/account/updating-billing) * [Understanding credits](/overview/understanding-credits) # Troubleshooting Source: https://docs.imagine.art/account/troubleshooting Solutions to common issues with your ImagineArt web account, including login problems, locked models, failed generations, and credit issues. Find solutions to the most common ImagineArt account issues below. If your problem isn't listed here, contact [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art). **Check which sign-in method you used.** ImagineArt supports Google, Facebook, Discord, and Email. Trying the wrong method is the most common cause of login failures. Try each option on the sign-in screen. If you registered with a social provider (Google, Facebook, or Discord), there is no email/password combination to enter — use that provider's button directly. **If you use email sign-in and forgot your password:** 1. Click **Forgot password?** on the sign-in form. 2. Enter your account email and click **Send reset link**. 3. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for the reset email. 4. Follow the link and set a new password. **Other things to try:** * Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. * Try a different browser or an incognito/private window. * Disable any browser extensions that might interfere with authentication (ad blockers, privacy shields). * Make sure your device clock is set to the correct time — authentication tokens can fail if the time is skewed. If you still cannot sign in, email [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) with your account email and a description of the error you see. After upgrading, Pro models should unlock immediately. If they are still showing as locked: 1. **Refresh the page** — the UI sometimes needs a manual refresh to reflect the plan change. 2. **Sign out and sign back in** — this forces a fresh session with your updated plan status. 3. **Check your billing status** — go to **Billing & Subscription** and confirm your upgrade completed successfully. If you see a payment error, resolve it first. 4. **Wait a few minutes** — in rare cases, plan activation takes up to 5 minutes to propagate. If Pro models remain locked after all of the above, email [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) and include your account email and the name of the plan you upgraded to. Generation failures can happen for several reasons: * **Temporary server load** — try submitting your generation again. Most transient failures resolve on a second attempt. * **Prompt content** — if your prompt contains content that violates ImagineArt's usage policies, the generation will be blocked. Review the [Terms and Conditions](/policies/terms-and-conditions) for content guidelines. * **Unsupported settings combination** — some models have constraints on certain setting combinations (e.g., resolution or aspect ratio). Try adjusting your settings and regenerating. * **Browser issues** — clear your cache, try a different browser, or disable extensions. If a generation fails, credits are generally not deducted for the failed job. If you believe you were charged for a failed generation, contact [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) with the date and approximate time of the failure. Generation time depends on the model, settings, and current platform load. Typical ranges: * **Images:** 4–15 seconds * **Videos:** 30–60 seconds If you are consistently experiencing much longer wait times: * **Check platform status** — there may be a temporary increase in demand. Try again after a few minutes. * **Try a different model** — some models are computationally heavier and naturally take longer. * **Reduce output settings** — lowering resolution, output count, or video duration will generally speed up generation. * **Check your internet connection** — a slow or unstable connection can delay results from reaching your browser. If slow generations persist across multiple sessions and models, email [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art). **Subscription credits** refresh on your monthly billing anniversary — not on the 1st of each month. To check your renewal date: 1. Click your **profile picture** in the top-right corner. 2. Select **Billing & Subscription**. 3. Look for your **next renewal date**. If the renewal date has passed and your credits have not refreshed: * Check that your payment method is valid and your subscription is still active (a failed payment can pause your subscription). * Sign out and sign back in to force a session refresh. **Free credits** reset every 24 hours from when they were last issued. If your free credits haven't refreshed after 24 hours, sign out and back in. If the issue persists, contact [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) with your account email and a screenshot of your credits modal. All your past generations are stored in your **Assets**. To access it: 1. Click [Assets](https://www.imagine.art/asset/all) in the left nav bar. If you are logged in as the correct account and still cannot find a specific generation, it may have been deleted. ImagineArt does have a recently deleted section accessible via assets screen. Go to Assets and click on "recently deleted" folder accessible via the right side of the screen  If you believe the content disappeared unexpectedly, email [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) with the approximate date of the generation and your account email. ## Contact support If none of the above resolves your issue, reach out directly: * **General support:** [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) * **Billing issues:** [billing@imagine.art](mailto:billing@imagine.art) When contacting support, include your account email address, a description of the issue, and any error messages or screenshots you have. # Update Billing Source: https://docs.imagine.art/account/updating-billing How to update your payment method or billing address on your ImagineArt account. You can update your payment method and billing address at any time from the billing settings in your account. Changes apply to your next renewal charge. ## Update your payment method Go to [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and sign in. Click your **profile picture** in the top-right corner and select **Billing & Subscription**. Scroll to the **Payment method** section. You will see your current card on file (last four digits and expiry date). Click **Update payment method** (or **Add payment method** if none is saved). Enter your new card details in the form and click **Save**. Your new payment method is now active. It will be charged at your next billing date. ## Update your billing address From your **profile picture** menu, select **Billing & Subscription**. Scroll to the **Billing address** section. Click **Edit**, update the address fields, and click **Save**. Updating your billing address affects future invoices only. Previously issued invoices will not be retroactively updated. ## View past invoices Your billing history, including past invoices and payment dates, is available in the **Billing & Subscription** section under **Invoice history**. You can download any invoice as a PDF. ## Billing contact If you encounter a billing error, a failed payment, or need help with your account charges, email [billing@imagine.art](mailto:billing@imagine.art) and include: * Your account email address * A description of the issue * Any relevant invoice numbers or transaction IDs ## Related * [Subscription plans](/account/subscription-plans) * [Upgrade or downgrade your plan](/account/upgrade-downgrade) * [Cancel your subscription](/account/cancel-subscription) * [Refund policy](/policies/refund-policy) # Upgrade or Downgrade Source: https://docs.imagine.art/account/upgrade-downgrade Change your ImagineArt subscription plan and understand how the transition affects your credits and team seats. You can switch your subscription plan at any time from your account settings. The process differs slightly depending on whether you are moving to a higher or lower tier. ## Upgrading your plan Sign in to [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and click your **profile picture** in the top-right corner. Select **Billing & Subscription**. Review the available plans. Click **Upgrade** next to the plan you want. You can compare plans on the [pricing page](https://www.imagine.art/subscription). Review the prorated charge summary and confirm your payment method. Click **Confirm upgrade** to complete the change. After the upgrade, your new credit allocation appears immediately in **Subscription Credits Left** on your profile. You now have access to all features included in your new plan, including Pro models if you were previously on the Free plan. ### When does an upgrade take effect? Upgrades take effect **immediately**. You are charged a prorated amount for the remainder of your current billing period, and your new monthly rate applies from the next renewal date. If you upgraded but Pro models are still locked, allow a few minutes for the change to propagate, then refresh the page. If the issue persists, email [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art) with your account email and plan name. ## Downgrading your plan Sign in to [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and click your **profile picture** in the top-right corner. Select **Billing & Subscription**. Click **Change plan** and select the plan you want to move to. Review the feature differences before confirming. Click **Confirm downgrade**. Your current plan remains active through the end of the billing period you have already paid for. At your next renewal date, your plan switches to the lower tier, your credit allocation adjusts to match the new plan, and you are billed at the lower rate going forward. ### What happens to unused credits? * **Subscription credits** you earned under the higher plan are available until your renewal date. Unused credits do not roll over when the plan switches. * **Top-up credits** are not affected by a plan change — they never expire and remain on your account. ### Seat management when downgrading a Teams plan If you downgrade to a plan with fewer seats (for example, from Creator with 20 seats to Standard with 3 seats), you need to reduce your team size before the downgrade takes effect: 1. Go to **Team Settings** and remove members until you are within the seat limit of the new plan. 2. Removed members lose access to the workspace at your next renewal date. 3. If you do not reduce seats before the renewal, the downgrade may be blocked until the seat count is within limit. Downgrading to the Free plan removes access to Pro models and team collaboration features. Make sure all team members are aware before you proceed. ## Related * [Subscription plans](/account/subscription-plans) * [Cancel your subscription](/account/cancel-subscription) * [Update billing information](/account/updating-billing) # Ad Maker Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-maker ## Summary The Ad Maker Node generates a complete ad video from a single prompt, a product, and an avatar. Instead of chaining together separate generation and editing nodes, this one node handles product placement, an on-camera presenter, and the ad's creative direction in a single run — a fast path to a UGC-style or hook-driven ad clip without hand-assembling a workflow for it. It's a standalone node — a fast-path shortcut (keyboard shortcut **A**) at the top of the node picker, not filed under Image, Video, Audio, or Text. ## How to Use Click the Add (+) button and select **Ad Maker**, or use the shortcut (A). Both are required. Use the **+Product** and **+Avatar** pickers on the node to select or upload each. Describe the advertisement in the prompt field. Type **@** to pull in a specific character or product from your library by name instead of describing it from scratch. Choose one of three toggles: **UGC**, **Hook**, or **Scene** — these steer the creative direction of the generated ad (casual creator-style content, an attention-grabbing opening moment, or a fuller scene composition). In the Properties panel, set **Aspect Ratio** (e.g. 16:9), **Resolution** (720p by default), and **Duration** (a slider, defaulting to 8 seconds). Click Run. The node outputs a single finished ad video. ## Inputs and outputs | Handle | Required | Notes | | --------------- | -------- | --------------------------------- | | Product | Yes | The product featured in the ad | | Avatar | Yes | The on-camera presenter | | Reference Image | No | Optional visual reference | | Reference Video | No | Optional motion/style reference | | Reference Audio | No | Optional voice or music reference | | Video (output) | — | The finished ad clip | ## Sample Use Cases Add a product and an avatar, switch to **UGC** mode, and describe the pitch. Ad Maker composes a casual, creator-style ad clip in one run instead of separately generating a scene, an avatar performance, and an edit. Use **Hook** mode when you need a strong first few seconds to stop the scroll before the rest of the ad plays out — describe the hook moment directly in the prompt. Feed a Reference Image or Reference Video from an earlier node into Ad Maker to keep a consistent product or visual style, then pass its output into downstream edit or export nodes. For a guided, multi-step version of this same idea with a dedicated product/avatar/format/hook pipeline, see [Ad Studio](/ad-studio/what-is-ad-studio) — Ad Maker is the single-node, workflow-canvas equivalent. # Ad Reference Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/ad-reference Take a viral ad and give it your twist — keep the same vibe and energy, but make it all about your product. **Ad Reference** is for when you've seen an ad that's clearly working — a format, a rhythm, an energy — and want that same feeling, but for your own product. Instead of building a look from scratch, you hand Ad Studio a reference video and it keeps the vibe while swapping in your product. ## When to use Ad Reference * You've spotted a viral ad in your feed or a competitor's campaign that's clearly landing, and want to borrow its structure honestly (not clone it exactly) for your own product. * You want a faster starting point than picking a format, hook, and setting individually. * You have your own past ad you liked and want to riff on it again. ## How it works In the left sidebar under **Tools**, click **Ad Reference**. Upload your own reference (MP4/MOV/WEBM, up to 50MB) or pick one from **Latest Viral Ads** — a curated, regularly refreshed feed of real viral ad clips. Ad Reference dialog for uploading a viral ad video or picking one from Latest Viral Ads to remix with your own product Click **Continue**, then bring in your own product the same way you would from the main workspace. Borrow the energy, not the exact content. The point of a viral ad is that it already earned attention with its rhythm and hook — your job is to make your product the one being featured, not to reproduce someone else's ad beat for beat. # Building an Ad From Scratch Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/building-from-scratch Full creative control — prompt, format, hook, setting, product, and avatar. Building from scratch is where you take full creative control. You write the prompt, pick the format, choose the hook, set the scene, and specify the product and avatar. This is the workflow for when URL to Ad isn't enough — or when you want to test very specific creative ideas. The workflow has six stages, and we'll walk through each in order. ## 6.1 — The control panel and the @ shortcut The workspace is built around a set of structured cards — **Template**, **Product**, **Avatar**, **Hook**, **Background** — plus an optional **Describe your advertisement** text field below them. You don't need to write a full brief in prose; picking the right combination of cards does most of the work, and the text field is for anything the cards don't cover. Ad Studio control panel showing Medium, Template, Product, Avatar, Hook, Background, prompt, and output settings At the top, **Medium** switches the whole panel between **Image** and **Video** output. ### The @ shortcut Typing **@** in the **Describe your advertisement** field opens a dropdown of your saved avatars and products to mention by name — the system then uses your actual uploaded assets instead of guessing from a text description. This matters more than it sounds: it's the difference between a generic ad and an ad that actually shows your product. **Try this** — Add one product and one avatar first, then type **@** in the description field and pick them by name. You'll see how much more specific the output becomes when the system has actual assets to work with. ## 6.2 — Choosing the right format **Template** is the format decision — it determines the entire visual and structural language of the ad. Click **Change** on the Template card to open **Choose a format**. Ad Studio currently offers **8 formats**: Choose a format grid showing all 8 real ad formats with descriptions | Format | What it is | Best for | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Football TVC** | A top-tier TVC-director style football/soccer commercial. | Sports brands, World Cup and football-season campaigns. | | **UGC** | Hyper-realistic Instagram/TikTok talking-head content. | Mass-market consumer products, social-first brands, anywhere trust matters more than polish. | | **Unboxing** | Premium product unboxing and showcase videos. | Physical products with strong packaging, gifts, gadgets, premium goods. | | **Tutorial** | Instagram-style talking-head tutorial ads, a real person walking through the product. | Complex products, tech, beauty regimens — anything that needs explaining. | | **Virtual Try ON** | Instagram Reels-style fashion try-on hauls, talking-head UGC. | Fashion, eyewear, accessories, makeup — anything you wear or apply. | | **Pro Virtual Try ON** | Higher-fidelity try-on with a pre-generation setup pass. | Premium fashion, luxury accessories, jewelry, high-end beauty. | | **Asmr** | Senior-UGC-director-style sensory, sound-focused content. | Beauty, skincare, food, candles, sensory goods. | | **Hyper-Motion** | Fast-cut, motion-heavy hyper-motion product ad. | Tech, sports, automotive, athletic wear — anything dynamic. | Don't pick a format because it looks cool — pick it because it matches your product and audience. A luxury watch in UGC will feel cheap; a \$9.99 hair clip in Pro Virtual Try On will feel like you're trying too hard. **Match the format to the product's price point and emotional category.** ## 6.3 — Picking a hook Click the **Hook** card to open **Pick your hook**. Rather than a set of psychological "archetypes," Ad Studio's hooks are literal, named moments you can drop into the first few seconds of your ad — filterable by **All**, **Stunt**, **Subtle**, and a seasonal **World Cup** tab. Hook picker with All, Stunt, Subtle, and World Cup filter tabs and named hook effects A sample of what's in there: | Hook | What it does | | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Product Hit** | An object flies into frame and hits the subject. | | **Slap** | A hand swings in and slaps the subject's cheek. | | **Random Object Mic** | During a casual vlog, a random object becomes an absurd microphone. | | **Product Drop** | A slow-mo product drop from above. | | **Interview** | The avatar holds the product, an interviewer off-camera asks questions. | | **Blizzard** | A cozy scene is suddenly hit by a blizzard. | | **Car Hit** | A person walking on the road, a fast car passes close by. | | **Bird Hit** | The avatar opens their mouth to start talking — interrupted by a bird. | There are roughly 30 hooks in total, split across the Stunt and Subtle tabs — browse the picker itself for the full set, since new ones (like the World Cup tab) get added over time. Test hooks aggressively. The same ad with a different hook can swing performance by **3–5×**. Generate the same ad with a few different hooks, run all of them for a small budget, and double down on the winner. Cycle every 7–10 days as fatigue sets in. ## 6.4 — Setting the scene Click the **Background** card to open **Set the scene**. Settings are filterable by **All**, **Unrealistic**, **Realistic**, and a seasonal **World Cup** tab, with dozens of named, literal locations rather than broad categories: Set the scene picker with All, Unrealistic, Realistic, and World Cup filter tabs and named settings | Setting | Description shown in the picker | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | **Airplane** | Person sits on an airplane wing mid-flight. | | **Volcano** | Person sits on an active volcano rim. | | **Glacier** | Person stands on calving glacier ice. | | **Temple** | Person sits on a rain-slicked temple step. | | **Gym** | Gym floor, locker room, or post-workout setting. | | **City** | Walking on a sidewalk or standing in a city street. | | **Disco Club** | A disco club with music and other dancers. | | **Abandoned Car Park** | An indoor, spooky abandoned car park. | | **Pandora** | Person stands at the edge of a fantastical alien landscape. | | **Tribal People** | A tropical beach with tribal-styled figures. | Settings carry hidden assumptions about your customer. A kitchen assumes the viewer cooks at home; a co-working space assumes flexible work. Pick a setting that flatters **the way your customer wants to see themselves** — not just one that fits the product. ## 6.5 — Output settings (aspect ratio, quality, duration) Below the description field, three pills control aspect ratio, quality, and duration. Aspect ratio picker showing all real aspect ratio options ### Aspect ratio **16:9, 9:16, 3:4, 4:3, 1:1, 21:9.** 9:16 is the default and the dominant ratio for social-first paid media (TikTok, Reels, Shorts); 1:1 is the safest bet when you don't know exactly where an ad will run; 16:9 and 21:9 suit wide-screen placements. ### Quality Quality picker showing Max, High, Medium, and Low tiers Four tiers: **Max, High, Medium, Low.** Use **Low** or **Medium** while you're iterating on several variations; switch to **High** or **Max** for the version you're actually shipping. ### Duration Duration picker showing precise per-second options from 5s to 15s An exact per-second dropdown from **5s to 15s** (default 10s) — not a set of preset ranges. Shorter durations suit attention-only hooks; use the full 15s when the ad needs a small narrative arc (problem → product → payoff). ## 6.6 — Adding products and avatars The **Product** and **Avatar** cards are where you load in the two assets that make an ad recognizably yours. ### Adding a product Click **Product** to open a picker with a real preset library — roughly 55 items across 10 categories (Streetwear, Fashion, Wellness, Skincare, Accessories, Home, Sports, Beverages, Tech, Menswear) — plus a **Saved** tab for anything you've added yourself. Product picker showing preset product categories, a URL field, and Create Manually Beyond the presets, you have two ways to add your own: * **Paste a product URL** to scrape a live product page. * **Create Manually** — upload up to 9 images (JPG/PNG/WEBP, ≤25MB), give it a **Name** (used for @-mentions), and optionally add **Additional Instructions**. A single image is enough; multiple angles aren't required, though they help. Create Product form with image upload, name field, and additional instructions URL scraping isn't always reliable. Sites that block bots (Amazon is a known example) can silently return the wrong product — a blank thumbnail or a garbled, unrelated title — with no warning that the pull is wrong. Always check the pulled result before generating; don't assume a "successful" pull actually got your product. ### Adding an avatar Click **Avatar** to open a similar picker — roughly 50 named preset avatars across 8 categories (including a seasonal **World Cup** category), plus **Saved**. Avatar picker showing preset avatar categories, Generate Avatar, and Create Manually Two ways to add your own: * **Generate Avatar** — a single free-text description field (no gender/ethnicity/age filters), which generates 4 options to choose from. * **Create Manually** — upload up to 10 photos (JPG/PNG/WEBP, ≤25MB) or select from your past creations, give it a **Name**, pick **Male** or **Female**, and optionally add **Additional Instructions**. ### Attaching a voiceover or music reference Below the Product/Avatar/Hook/Background cards, an optional **Upload media** row (images, videos, or audio) opens **Add References** — filterable by **All**, **Image**, **Video**, and **Audio**, accepting JPG/PNG/WEBP/MP4/WEBM/MP3/WAV/OGG up to 30MB. This is how you attach a real voiceover or music track as a reference for the generation, separate from the Product and Avatar cards. Add References dialog filterable by All, Image, Video, and Audio for attaching a voiceover or music file There's no built-in captions or subtitles toggle — several format templates explicitly instruct the model to avoid on-screen text overlays. If your platform needs captions, add them afterward with another tool rather than expecting Ad Studio to burn them in. ### Casting your avatar Pick the avatar that matches your target customer — **not** the one that looks the most attractive. A 35-year-old skincare brand doesn't sell better with a 20-year-old face; it sells better with a 35-year-old face. Your audience needs to see themselves in the ad, not aspire to be someone else. Once you find an avatar that performs, reuse it across the entire campaign. Consistency builds recognition; recognition builds trust; trust drives clicks. The same avatar across 10 ads is far more powerful than 10 different avatars across 10 ads. # Getting Started: Your First Ad Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/getting-started Follow this section once and the rest of the guide will make a lot more sense. This section walks you through opening Ad Studio and producing your first ad. Follow it once and the rest of the guide will make a lot more sense. ## Step 1 — Open Ad Studio Open your browser and go to **imagine.art/ad-studio**. Sign in if you are not already logged in. You'll land on the Ad Studio home view, with featured format examples in the main panel and your projects listed on the left. Ad Studio home view with featured format examples and the Tools/Projects sidebar ## Step 2 — Start a new project Click the **"+"** button next to "Projects" on the left. A new project is created immediately — there's no separate naming step first. Ad Studio home view with the create-new-project button highlighted New projects start out as "Untitled Project." Rename it to something descriptive (for example, "Skincare Q4 Launch") once you're inside it. Treat each campaign or product as its own project. This makes it much easier to find your variations later, especially when you're A/B testing — and you will be A/B testing. ## Step 3 — Pick your starting point Ad Studio gives you several ways to begin. Pick the one that fits your situation: * **URL to Ad.** You have a live product page. Click "URL to Ad" in the Tools section, paste the link, pick a style, and generate. Best for: e-commerce sellers with existing product pages. * **Motion Design.** Same product picker as URL to Ad, but generates a storyboard of independently editable scenes instead of a single clip — see [Motion Design](/ad-studio/motion-design). * **Ad Reference.** You've seen a viral ad that's clearly working and want that energy for your own product — see [Ad Reference](/ad-studio/ad-reference). * **Build from scratch.** You work directly in the main control panel — Template, Product, Avatar, Hook, and Background cards. Best for: full creative control, or when you don't have a product page yet. If you're unsure, start with **URL to Ad**. It's the fastest way to see what Ad Studio can do with your actual product. # Glossary Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/glossary A quick reference to the terms used throughout this guide and inside Ad Studio. A quick reference to the terms used throughout this guide and inside Ad Studio. | Term | Meaning | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **A/B testing** | Running multiple variations of an ad to learn which performs best. | | **Ad Reference** | A tool that lets you remix an existing viral ad — keeping its vibe and energy — with your own product. See [What is Ad Studio?](/ad-studio/what-is-ad-studio). | | **Aspect ratio** | The width-to-height ratio of the ad. Real options: 16:9, 9:16, 3:4, 4:3, 1:1, 21:9. | | **Avatar** | The person, animal, or mascot (real or AI-generated) who appears in the ad. | | **Background** | The card that opens **Set the scene** — where the ad takes place, filterable by All/Unrealistic/Realistic/World Cup. | | **Call to action (CTA)** | The line that tells the viewer what to do next — "Shop now," "Use code," etc. | | **Create Manually** | The upload-your-own path in the Product and Avatar pickers — images/photos, a name, and optional instructions, rather than a preset or URL pull. | | **Creative** | Industry term for the actual ad — the video, image, copy, and design assets. | | **Creative fatigue** | When an audience has seen an ad too many times and stops responding. Solved by refreshing creative. | | **DTC** | Direct-to-consumer — brands that sell directly through their own storefronts. | | **Format** | The structural style of the ad, chosen via the **Template** card. Ad Studio offers 8 (Football TVC, UGC, Unboxing, Tutorial, Virtual Try ON, Pro Virtual Try ON, Asmr, Hyper-Motion). | | **Hook** | A named moment (e.g. "Product Hit," "Slap") placed in the first few seconds of an ad to stop the scroll, filterable by All/Stunt/Subtle/World Cup — not a psychological archetype. | | **Medium** | The Image/Video toggle at the top of the control panel. | | **Motion Design** | A landing-page tool using the same product picker as URL to Ad, aimed at motion-graphics-style ads. | | **Performance ad** | An ad designed to drive a measurable action (click, install, purchase), not just brand awareness. | | **Quality** | Output fidelity tier: Max, High, Medium, or Low. | | **Stop-scroll** | The action of pausing on an ad mid-feed. The first job of any hook. | | **Template** | The card that opens **Choose a format** — Ad Studio's term for the format picker. | | **UGC** | User-generated content. A format that mimics casual, real-person content rather than polished production. | | **URL to Ad** | Ad Studio's tool for generating ads directly from a product page URL — no product-details review step, and prone to silent bad pulls on scraper-blocking sites. | | **@ shortcut** | Typing @ in the description field to pull in specific products or avatars from your library. | # Motion Design Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/motion-design Turn a product into a storyboard-driven motion graphics ad — pick a style, generate scene-by-scene, then refine each scene independently. Motion Design turns a product photo into a motion-graphics-style ad built from a storyboard: a set of individually generated scenes, not one single video generation. It shares its product picker with [URL to Ad](/ad-studio/url-to-ad), then branches into its own storyboard flow once you've picked a style. Motion Design product picker, the same component URL to Ad uses, with existing products and a failed pull visible ## How Motion Design works In the left sidebar under **Tools**, click **Motion Design**. This opens the same product picker as URL to Ad — paste a URL, upload images, or pick an existing product from your library or the preset categories. On **Choose a style**, describe the video, the product, and the vibe, then pick a style template — Product Showcase, SaaS Explainer, Mobile App Launch, Brand Campaign, Location Promotion, and more. Choose a style screen with a prompt box, a grid of style templates, and Model, Resolution, and Aspect ratio controls Motion Design is scoped to ByteDance's Seedance lineup only — a narrower, purpose-built set compared to the much larger model list in the general Video tool. Select model dialog showing only three Seedance video model variants -- Seedance 2, Seedance 2.5, and Seedance 2.0 Mini | Model | Credits | Resolution | Duration | Notes | | ----------------- | ------- | ---------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | Seedance 2 | 730 | 4K–1080p | 4–15s | ByteDance's latest video model | | Seedance 2.5 | 530 | 480p–1080p | 4–30s | ByteDance's latest video model, longest max duration | | Seedance 2.0 Mini | 175 | 480p–720p | 5–15s | Lightweight, fast, built for multi-shot video — the default | All three support Start/End frame control and audio. Click **Create Storyboard**. This kicks off a multi-stage background job — computing grid geometry, assembling a "mega-prompt," generating the storyboard, then receiving split frames. Generating your storyboard progress screen with named pipeline stages and a note that it's safe to come back later Generation is genuinely asynchronous, not just a progress bar. Click the minimize button on the generation screen and keep working anywhere else in Ad Studio — the **Motion Design** entry in the left sidebar shows a live spinner until the storyboard is ready, confirming it keeps running in the background rather than blocking the rest of the app. Ad Studio sidebar showing a live spinner on the Motion Design tool while a storyboard generates in the background **This can genuinely take longer than "several minutes."** The generation screen itself says to expect several minutes, but in testing a single storyboard was still generating well past the 8-minute mark. Don't assume a stall — check back later rather than retrying. ## What you get back Motion Design doesn't generate one clip — it produces a **storyboard of individual scenes**, based on real, first-hand tester feedback from the team (not yet independently re-verified end-to-end in this pass, since a real generation was still running past 8 minutes during this documentation session): * **Per-scene editing.** Each scene in the storyboard can be regenerated on its own without affecting the others — useful for fixing one weak beat in an otherwise good sequence. * **Working background generation.** The product photo carries through into a real generated background per scene, not a placeholder. * **Premium output.** The finished export includes typography and transitions applied automatically, not just raw clips stitched together. **Not the same as Film Studio's Storyboard mode.** Both features use the word "storyboard," but they're different mechanisms. [Film Studio's Storyboard mode](/film-studio/create-image#storyboard-mode) generates a single contact-sheet grid image that you manually split into frames. Motion Design's storyboard is an automated multi-scene pipeline purpose-built for ads — you don't do the splitting yourself. ## When to use Motion Design * You want a polished, template-driven motion graphics ad rather than a single straight-through video generation. * You're open to a longer, asynchronous generation in exchange for a multi-scene result with independently editable beats. * You want typography and transitions applied automatically rather than adding them yourself afterward. If you want the fastest possible single clip instead, use [URL to Ad](/ad-studio/url-to-ad) or the main workspace's video generation. # Pro Tips & Best Practices Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/pro-tips Habits that lift your output from 'acceptable' to 'performing.' Once you've shipped a few ads, these habits will lift your output from "acceptable" to "performing." ## Strategy * Write down your customer, their problem, and the platform before you generate anything. Every creative decision flows from those three answers. * Pick one job per ad. "Build awareness" and "drive a sale" are different jobs; trying to do both usually does neither. * Match production quality to product price. UGC for impulse buys, Pro Virtual Try On for premium. Mismatched quality kills credibility. ## Creative * Hook in the first second. Not the first three — the first one. If a viewer doesn't feel a reason to watch by frame 30, they're gone. * Show the product within the first 3 seconds, even when the format is story-driven. Brand recognition compounds across impressions. * End with a clear call to action. "Shop now," "Use code," "Tap the link" — pick one and say it explicitly. * Subtitles matter — most paid social plays muted by default, and Ad Studio doesn't burn in captions itself (several formats explicitly avoid on-screen text). Add subtitles in a separate editing pass before you publish. In the meantime, make sure the ad works with sound off on its own. ## Testing * Generate three variations of every ad. Different hooks, same product. Run them in parallel and learn which hook style fits your audience. * Refresh creative every 7–14 days. Ad fatigue is real — the same ad shown to the same audience loses performance fast. * Keep a winners file. When something performs, save the prompt, the format, the hook, and the avatar. That combination is repeatable. ## Production rhythm * Use URL to Ad for first drafts, the main workspace for refinement. Don't try to perfect inside URL to Ad. * Reuse avatars and products across a campaign. Consistency drives recognition; recognition drives trust; trust drives clicks. * Name your variations clearly. "Ad V3 — Confession hook" beats "Untitled 7." ## Common mistakes to avoid Picking a format because it looks cool, not because it fits the product. Using a luxury setting for a budget product, or vice versa. Setting signals price; a mismatch confuses the buyer. Casting an avatar who looks like the dream customer instead of the actual customer. Shipping one ad and waiting to see what happens. You need three to learn anything; you need ten to learn enough. Treating Ad Studio output as final on the first generation. It's a draft — iterate. # Quick Reference Card Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/quick-reference One page to return to whenever you need a fast reminder. One page to return to whenever you need a fast reminder. ## A · Three ways to start * **URL to Ad** → paste product link or pick existing → Choose a style → Create. Fast path for e-commerce (heads up: no review step, and scraper-blocked sites can silently pull wrong data). * **Motion Design** → same product picker, but generates a storyboard of independently editable scenes (Seedance models only, can take well past the stated "several minutes") — see [Motion Design](/ad-studio/motion-design). * **Ad Reference** → upload or pick a viral ad → remix it with your product. * **Main workspace** → Template / Product / Avatar / Hook / Background cards, optional description → Generate. ## B · The @ shortcut Type **@** in the description field → pick a specific product or avatar from your library → the system uses your **actual assets**. ## C · The eight formats | | | | | | -------------- | ------------------ | -------- | ------------ | | Football TVC | UGC | Unboxing | Tutorial | | Virtual Try ON | Pro Virtual Try ON | Asmr | Hyper-Motion | ## D · Hooks — named moments, not archetypes Filterable by **All / Stunt / Subtle / World Cup** — roughly 30 total. Examples: Product Hit, Slap, Product Drop, Interview, Blizzard, Car Hit, Product Bump, Bird Hit. Browse the picker for the full set. ## E · Setting categories Filterable by **All / Unrealistic / Realistic / World Cup** — dozens of named locations, not broad categories. Examples: Airplane, Volcano, Glacier, Temple, Gym, City, Disco Club, Abandoned Car Park, Pandora, Tribal People. ## F · Output cheat sheet * **Aspect:** 16:9 · 9:16 (default) · 3:4 · 4:3 · 1:1 · 21:9. * **Duration:** exact per-second, 5s–15s (default 10s) — not preset ranges. * **Quality:** Max · High · Medium · Low (default). Use Low/Medium for iteration, High/Max for shipping. * **Audio:** Add Audio / Add References → voiceover or music, filterable by Image/Video/Audio. No built-in captions — add those separately. ## G · The discipline that pays off * **Three variations per ad** — same product, different hook. * **Refresh creative every 7–14 days** to beat ad fatigue. * **Reuse avatars across a campaign** for recognition. * **Keep a winners file:** prompt + format + hook + avatar combinations that perform. **The final word** — Ad Studio is most powerful when you generate three, ship the best, learn, and iterate. The brands that win on paid social aren't the ones with the prettiest ad — they're the ones who **learn the fastest**. This tool exists to make learning fast. # Recipes for High-Converting Ads Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/recipes Six proven format + hook + setting combinations that consistently perform across categories. Below are combinations that consistently perform across categories. Treat them as starting points — copy the combination, swap in your product and avatar, and tune from there. Each recipe pairs a format with a hook and a setting from the real pickers — see [Building an Ad From Scratch](/ad-studio/building-from-scratch) for the full lists. | Recipe | Format | Hook | Setting | Best for | | --------------------- | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | **The Honest Friend** | UGC | **Interview** (avatar holds the product, interviewer asks questions) | A **Realistic** everyday location | Beauty, wellness — where trust matters more than polish. | | **The Reveal** | Unboxing | **Product Drop** (slow-mo product drop from above) | An **Unrealistic** or aspirational location | Premium consumer goods, gifts, gadgets. | | **The Trigger** | Asmr | **Product Bump** (POV walk-in, camera taps the avatar) | **Realistic**, close and intimate | Beauty products, candles, food, sensory goods. | | **The Hero** | Hyper-Motion | **Product Hit** (an object flies into frame and hits the subject) | Any high-energy **Unrealistic** setting | Tech, sports, automotive, premium athletic wear. | The Hook and Background pickers have roughly 30 and dozens of entries respectively, well beyond what fits in a table here. Browse the **Stunt**/**Subtle** hook tabs and the **Realistic**/**Unrealistic** setting tabs directly in the picker — the four recipes above are proven starting points, not the full set of good combinations. ## How to use these recipes Pick the recipe that matches your product category. Load your real product and a matching avatar. Set duration to **10–15 seconds** and aspect ratio to **9:16** for social-first delivery. Generate two or three variations from the same recipe — the system will produce different interpretations. Pick your strongest, ship it, watch the data, then iterate. Don't change three things at once. When you iterate, change the hook **OR** the setting **OR** the avatar — never all three. That way you actually learn which lever moved the result. # The Fast Path: URL to Ad Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/url-to-ad URL to Ad is the single fastest way to produce a finished ad — paste a product page, get an ad. URL to Ad is the single fastest way to produce a finished ad. You paste a live product page, Ad Studio pulls the relevant product information — images, name, description, branding — and generates a complete ad based on it. For e-commerce sellers, this is the killer feature. ## When to use URL to Ad * You sell on Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, your own storefront, or any e-commerce platform with public product pages. * You want a first creative draft fast — to test a concept, fill a campaign deadline, or generate volume for A/B testing. * You have a catalog of products and want ads for many of them without setting up each one manually. * You want a baseline ad you'll then refine in the main workspace. ## How URL to Ad works In the left sidebar under **Tools**, click **URL to Ad**. This opens a product picker — paste a URL, upload images, or pick an existing product from your library or the preset categories (Streetwear, Fashion, Wellness, and more). URL to Ad product picker, with a failed pull attempt visible among successful ones Paste the full URL of your product page and press enter, or click **Create Manually** to upload your own images instead. Use the live public URL — not a draft page that requires login. A new tile appears in the grid while the pull runs, then resolves to a thumbnail and name, or a **Failed** state. Select the tile and click **Continue**. This opens **Choose a style to start** — pick a format, with aspect ratio, quality, and duration already defaulted (9:16, Low, 10s). Adjust if needed, then click **Create**. Choose a style to start screen after picking a product, with aspect ratio, quality, and duration already set **There's no product-details review step.** Unlike a form you fill in and check, URL to Ad never shows you the pulled name, description, or images for editing before you generate — what you see in the product tile is what you get. If a pull looks wrong, delete it and try again rather than assuming it'll self-correct downstream. **A failed pull isn't the only risk — a "successful" one can be silently wrong.** Some sites block automated scraping (Amazon is a known case) and return an unrelated page that gets scraped as if it were legitimate — producing a real product tile with a blank or garbled thumbnail and a nonsense name, with no error or warning shown. Always look at what was actually pulled before generating from it. ## Getting better URL to Ad results URL to Ad works best when your product page is clean: good product photos, a clear product name, an accurate description. If your page is cluttered or your photos are weak, fix the page first — then generate. **The output is only as good as the input.** * Make sure your product page has at least **three clean photos**: hero, lifestyle/in-use, and detail. * Use a clear, descriptive product name. "Hydrating Vitamin C Serum" generates better than "Glow Drops V2." * If your page has a strong tagline or unique selling point in the description, the system will use it. If it doesn't, edit the pulled description before generating. * Generate two or three variations and compare. Pick the strongest and run it; refine the others in the main workspace. Have a catalog? Run several products through URL to Ad back-to-back to build a library of baseline drafts, then spend your creative time only on the ones worth refining. ## What to do with the output Treat the URL-to-Ad output as a **draft, not a final**. It will get you 70–80% of the way to a good ad. The remaining 20–30% — picking the perfect hook, tuning the avatar, dialing in the setting — is where the main workspace comes in. The next section walks you through that workflow. # Welcome to Ad Studio Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/what-is-ad-studio A production environment for performance ads — from a product URL to a high-converting ad. Ad Studio is a production environment for performance ads. It is built for a specific job: turning a product into a finished, platform-ready video ad — fast, repeatedly, and at the quality that actually performs in a paid feed. If Film Studio is for directing movies, Ad Studio is for shipping campaigns. The tagline says it best: ads, ready when you are. You can paste a product URL and have an ad in minutes, remix an existing viral ad with [Ad Reference](/ad-studio/ad-reference), or build one from scratch with full control over format, hook, setting, and avatar. Either way, you stay out of the production rabbit hole — no shoot day, no model casting, no editing suite — and you get to test creative variations at a speed traditional ad production cannot match. Ad Studio home view with featured format examples and the Tools/Projects sidebar ## Who this guide is for This guide is written for the people who actually ship ads: * **E-commerce sellers** on Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, or any DTC storefront. * **Brand and performance marketers** who run paid social campaigns. * **Agencies** producing creative for multiple clients at once. * **Founders** running ads themselves before they hire a marketing team. * **Anyone testing creative iteratively** — UGC variants, hook A/B tests, format tests. ## How this guide is organized The guide is structured around two workflows: the **fast path** (URL to Ad) for when you have a product page and need an ad now, and the **build-from-scratch path** for when you want full creative control. We start with orientation, then walk through both paths, then give you recipes and best practices. * **Sections 1–4** cover orientation: what Ad Studio is, what you need, and how the workspace is laid out. * **Section 5** covers the URL-to-Ad fast path. * **Section 6** covers building an ad from scratch — formats, hooks, settings, and assets. * **Section 7** gives you proven recipes for the most common ad types. * **Sections 8–10** are reference material: tips, glossary, and a one-page cheat sheet. ## How to use this guide Throughout the guide you will see three kinds of callouts. Each marks a different kind of advice: * **Tip** — a non-obvious technique that saves time or money. * **Try this** — a quick exercise to lock in what you just learned. * **Heads up** — a limit, a constraint, or a common mistake to avoid. You'll also meet **Pro Tip**, **Template**, and **Read this first** boxes. They follow the same color language used across the rest of this document — purple for guidance, amber for caution, green for hands-on practice. ## What you'll be able to do by the end * Open Ad Studio, create a project, and produce a finished ad from a product URL in minutes. * Build an ad from scratch with the right format for your product — UGC, unboxing, review, virtual try-on, ASMR, or hyper-motion. * Pick a hook that earns the first three seconds of attention. * Choose a scene setting that matches your product and audience. * Configure aspect ratio, quality, and duration for the platforms you run on. * Add product images and avatars — uploaded, generated, or from the library — to lock in a consistent visual identity. * Apply proven recipes for common ad types, and test variations quickly enough to learn what actually performs. **Read this first** — If you only have ten minutes, read [Getting Started](/ad-studio/getting-started) and [The Fast Path: URL to Ad](/ad-studio/url-to-ad). That alone is enough to produce your first ad. Come back to the rest when you want to tune the creative. ## Before you begin Ad Studio runs entirely in your web browser. There is nothing to install. Before you start, take a minute to make sure the basics are in place — it will save you frustration later. ### What you need Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox, kept reasonably up to date. Generation runs on our servers, so a steady connection means a smoother experience. Sign up or log in at imagine.art before opening Ad Studio. Either a live product URL (Shopify, Amazon, your storefront) or clean product photos you can upload. TikTok, Instagram Reels, Meta in-feed, YouTube Shorts. The platform determines aspect ratio, duration, and pacing. ### A useful mindset Ads are not films. Ads do one job: **stop the scroll, sell the click.** Every choice in Ad Studio — format, hook, setting, duration — should be made in service of that job. A beautifully directed ad that loses the viewer in the first second has failed; an imperfect ad that holds attention and drives the click has won. This guide gives you frameworks and recipes, but the most important habit is **iteration**. Ship a version, look at the data, refine, ship again. Ad Studio's value is that you can do this in hours instead of weeks. Before you generate anything, write down three things on a sticky note: **who the customer is**, **what problem the product solves** for them, and **where they are going to see this ad**. Every creative decision flows from those three answers. # Understanding the Workspace Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ad-studio/workspace Three areas where you'll spend almost all your time — learn them once and every later section gets faster. When you open Ad Studio, you'll see three areas where you'll spend almost all your time. Knowing what each one does will make every later section faster to follow. The URL-to-Ad tool and all your projects. Format examples and the prompt bar where ads are made. The core control surface: format, hook, setting, assets. Navigation, search, upgrades, and your profile. Ad Studio home view with featured format examples and the Tools/Projects sidebar ## The left sidebar The left sidebar has two important sections: * **Tools.** Three fast-path entry points: **[URL to Ad](/ad-studio/url-to-ad)** (generate from a product link), **[Motion Design](/ad-studio/motion-design)** (the same product picker, but a storyboard of independently editable scenes instead of one clip), and **[Ad Reference](/ad-studio/ad-reference)** (remix an existing viral ad with your own product). * **Projects.** Every ad you build lives inside a project. Use the search box to find existing projects, or click "+" to start a new one. ## The center workspace The center is where ad creation happens. By default it shows a grid of format examples under "Start from preset" — filterable by categories like Lifestyle UGC, Motion Studio, Creative Studio, TVC, Environments, and Cinematic — that double as inspiration and a quick-start gallery. Opening a project shows the control panel, built around a set of cards: Ad Studio control panel showing Medium, Template, Product, Avatar, Hook, Background, prompt, and output settings * **Medium.** Switches the whole panel between **Image** and **Video** output. * **Template.** Shows your currently selected format, with a **Change** button to switch between the 8 real ad formats. * **Product.** Add the product that will be featured. * **Avatar.** Add the person, animal, or mascot who appears in the ad. * **Hook.** Pick from a library of named hook effects, filterable by Stunt, Subtle, and seasonal categories. * **Background.** Choose where the ad takes place. * **Describe your advertisement (optional).** Free text for anything the cards above don't cover. Use the **@** symbol to pull in specific products or avatars by name. * **Output pills.** Aspect ratio, quality, and duration, shown as three separate pills below the description field. * **Generate.** The big purple button that generates your ad. See [Building an Ad From Scratch](/ad-studio/building-from-scratch) for the full depth of each of these. ## The top bar Project navigation, search, contact sales, plan upgrades, notifications, and your profile menu. Standard top-bar functionality — nothing creative happens here. **Try this** — Before you read further, open a project in Ad Studio and click each of the control cards (Template, Hook, Background) plus the output pills below the description field. Just notice what options appear — you'll get more from the next sections if you've already seen the menus. # AI Copilot Source: https://docs.imagine.art/ai-copilot ## Summary The AI Copilot Node leverages the power of LLMs to process and generate high-quality text outputs. Whether you're working with text, images, or videos as inputs, this node provides advanced capabilities to analyze content, extract contextual information, and generate detailed and coherent text. ![AI Copilot node interface](https://3206824585-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FflkeYZ5KwlfB1arDC2M2%2Fuploads%2FBfhXSttLkI3FBgJAto2s%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=5180af83-49b8-4b0f-a456-0f2103fad839) ### Key Features * **Advanced Text Processing:** Utilize LLMs to process and refine text inputs, whether they come from images, videos, or raw text. * **Contextual Understanding:** The node not only generates text but also extracts context, personas, and identifiers from the inputs, offering detailed outputs. * **Multi-Input Integration:** Combine text, images, and videos as inputs to produce more informed and contextual outputs. * **High-Quality Output:** Generate rich, contextually accurate text that can be used for scripts, descriptions, stories, and more. ## How to Use From the workflow canvas, click the Add (+) button. Select AI Copilot from the Text node category (it sits at the top level, not inside Text Utilities), or use shortcut (T) to add the node on canvas. You can input any type of file: text, images, or videos. The AI Copilot node will analyze these inputs to extract context and information. For example, if you input a video, the node will identify key details and generate a description based on the visual and contextual elements present in the video. Once the node processes the input, it will generate a detailed output, whether it's a summary, an analysis, or a creative piece of text like a script or blog post. You can then feed this output into other nodes, such as Image or Video, for further use. ### Example: Marketing Campaign Script Let's say you are working on a marketing campaign for a new product launch. You upload a video ad of the product, and the AI Copilot node will analyze the video's tone, the emotions conveyed, and the visuals. It will then generate a script that matches the mood and message of the video, ensuring consistency between the video and the campaign's marketing text. ![AI Copilot workflow example](https://3206824585-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FflkeYZ5KwlfB1arDC2M2%2Fuploads%2F5TdgBBlMkW8ogUiK85AG%2FGoogle%20Chrome.gif?alt=media\&token=6f1e5c05-a3f7-4b44-a3de-4fba656f216c) ## Sample Use Cases "Write a 5-minute YouTube video script about 'The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Content Creation.'
