| | | | | 馃挕 Step-by-Step Guide | 馃搩 What You'll Need | ChatGPT (Free or Plus—details below) A product, promo or message to feature Gather some product photos, brand assets, and/or inspiration images for styles that you like—GPT-4o can use those as visual references Optional: Canva (for sizing or text overlays)
| | 馃攧 How To Structure Your Prompts | Before you dive into the steps below, here's the flow to keep in mind: | You'll combine everything you gather—your product photo, inspiration image, style notes, layout preferences—into one complete initial prompt. That way, GPT-4o has the full picture from the start. | After generating your first image, you can use quick follow-up prompts to tweak anything that needs adjusting, like placement, background color, or font style. | Now let's build it. | | ✅ Build Scroll-Stopping Visuals | | Step 1: Open a GPT-4o chat or click 'Create image' | You can type a fresh prompt or just click the 'Create image' button to get started. | | | Step 2: Describe the layout & tone—not the platform | Avoid phrases like "Facebook ad" or "LinkedIn post"—GPT-4o may create an ad about those platforms. Instead, focus on how the image should look or feel. | ✅ Try: 'Make this clean and professional for a feed post' | ✅ Try: 'Format this for a vertical video-style layout' | | Step 3: Upload those reference images | Want your visual to match your brand or a particular style you like? Drop in a product photo—or any inspiration images you gathered as references. | GPT-4o will use them to match colors, layout, and style more accurately.* |  | Some Examples of Ads We Used for Our Generations |
| *For a quick strategy to get even stronger results, check out the "Pro Tips" section below. | | Step 4: Choose the right aspect ratio | 4:3 for Facebook, LinkedIn & Instagram feed posts 9:16 for Instagram Reels, TikTok & YouTube Shorts
| Say: 'Make this vertical (9:16)' or 'Format this in a 4:3 aspect ratio' | | Step 5: Refine with small prompt tweaks | If the font feels off or the layout's awkward, don't start over—just prompt for edits. | Try: | 'Move the product to the center' 'Switch to bold sans serif font' 'Make the background light beige'
| | Step 6: Download and polish | Save your image and open it in Canva if you want to resize, sharpen the text, or create a series. | | | 馃挰 Reusable Prompt Template | 'Create a [descriptive, brand-focused] promotional ad image for [product/service] using the attached [product photo / inspiration ad / brand assets] as visual references. Base the layout, style, and overall vibe on these references, but adjust to match [specific brand notes, like colors, fonts, tone]. Use "[headline text]" as the headline. Apply a [background style], [font style], and [tone or mood] that fits the brand feel. Format it for a [4:3 or 9:16] layout for social media.' | | Example: | | 'Create a clean, modern promotional ad image for an online AI tool directory, Futurepedia, using the attached logo and inspiration ad as references. Match the layout and style, but adjust the colors to navy blue and sky blue, and use a bold sans serif font. Headline: "Discover AI Tools That Work For You." Use a similar background that feels innovative but approachable. Format it for a 16:9 layout for social media or web banners.' |

| | | | | 馃挕 Pro Tips | | 馃柤️ Use Brand References for Better Ads | The fastest way to get brand-right visuals? Upload a product photo and an example ad, mood board, or inspiration image you like. | Then, prompt GPT-4o to follow the style of your inspiration—but adapt it for your brand. Tell it what to tweak: | 'Use our brand colors (navy blue and soft beige) instead of the colors in the sample' 'Keep the layout clean like this, but change the headline font to bold sans serif' 'Replace the model in the ad with a product shot instead'
| Better references + brand-specific prompts = sharper first drafts and less editing later. | | 馃帬 Create a Swipeable Set | Don't stop at just one version. Use the same concept to generate 3–5 image variations—changing headlines, layouts or color schemes slightly. | Post them as a carousel on Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn to drive more swipes, saves, and clicks. |

| | ⚠️ Things To Know | Avoid naming platforms like "Facebook" or "LinkedIn" in your prompt—GPT may misread your intent | Text may render a bit soft—try using Canva to overlay sharper font | GPT-4o doesn't always repeat itself—regenerating a prompt can often give very different results | | 馃敀 Free vs Plus Plan Limits (as of April 2025) | Free: Up to 3 image generations per day Plus ($20/month): 50 images every 3 hours (≈16–17/hour), up to 200 per day
