Static ad generator for headline feed ads with your real product
advrt makes 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 and 16:9 static ads by editing your product photo, with an optional headline drawn onto the image. No layer editor: change the brief and regenerate.
The simple static that still carries a lot of Meta spend: your product, a short headline, a clean background. We audited 13 of them for spelling, length and what else ended up on the image.
Free plan: 5 ad generations a month, no card.
Unedited advrt headline ads for fictional brands. The headline is drawn by the image model, not a template layer.
What kind of static ads does advrt make?
advrt makes single-image ads for Meta and TikTok: product hero shots, lifestyle scenes, UGC-style phone shots and the classic headline static, your product on a clean background with a short line of copy. They're made by editing your real product photo with Nano Banana, Seedream 4 or Flux Kontext, so the packaging is yours. Sizes are 1:1 and 4:5 for feed, 9:16 for Stories and Reels, and 16:9.
The headline is drawn by the image model as part of the picture. That's why it can look designed instead of templated, and also why you need to proofread it: there's no text layer to fix afterwards. advrt has no layer editor; to change a word, you edit the brief and regenerate. For concept ads that are mostly type, advrt also offers Ideogram v3, its pick for on-image text, and Recraft v3. Neither uses your product photo.

How to make a headline static in advrt
Static ads work on every plan; each image is one generation.
- Import the product and keep your best packshot first.
- Pick an angle and put the headline you want in the brief. The image writer only adds text to an image when the brief asks for it.
- Choose 1:1 or 4:5 for feed. 4:5 is the ratio Meta recommends for Facebook Feed images.
- Generate and proofread. Read the headline letter by letter, check the label against your product, and remove anything you didn't ask for.
- Pair it with copy. The angle's primary text, headline field and CTA go into Meta's fields alongside the image.
- Test it against a lifestyle and a UGC-style version of the same angle, and let your account baseline pick.
We audited 13 headline statics. Here's what we found.
Each of advrt's 13 showcase products got one 1:1 headline ad, made with Nano Banana from the product photo. We read every word on every image.
| Product (fictional) | Headline on the image | Characters |
|---|---|---|
| NOVA serum | Meet your new glow step. | 24 |
| MUSE lip balm | Tint, balm, done. | 17 |
| STILL gummies | Wind down, the easy way. | 24 |
| LOWTIDE coffee | Your 7am, upgraded. | 19 |
| Ceramic mug | Your slow morning, upgraded. | 28 |
| NORTHFIELD sweatshirt | Gets better every wash. | 23 |
| ATLAS tote | Carries everything. Goes with everything. | 41 |
| Gold necklace | The one you never take off | 26 |
| Running shoe | Built for the long run. | 23 |
| Sunglasses | Built for long summers. | 23 |
| Ember & Oak candle | Slow evenings, bottled. | 23 |
| FLOW bottle | Cold for 24 hours. Really. | 26 |
| GOODBOY treats | Training, but tastier. | 22 |
All 13 spelled correctly. Lengths count spaces and punctuation.
- Spelling held up on headlines. 0 of 13 headlines had a typo. Label text was weaker: one packshot misspelled "magnesium" and the coffee bag's fine print was gibberish, and both carried into the ads.
- 12 of 13 painted a "Shop now" call to action onto the image, most of them as a button. Meta already shows a real CTA button under the ad, so a painted one is a second button nobody can tap. Ask for no button if you'd rather not have it.
- One added a line nobody wrote into the product data. The sunglasses ad says "Free returns". Only run text like that if your store actually offers it.
- Headlines repeat structures. "Your 7am, upgraded." and "Your slow morning, upgraded."; "Built for the long run." and "Built for long summers." Four of 13 share two patterns, so write your own headline into the brief when you want something sharper.
- Length was mostly sensible. 11 of 13 were 26 characters or fewer; the tote's two-sentence line ran to 41.

Which static formats should you test first?
advrt's angles come in seven formats, and each one implies a different static. The useful test isn't three versions of the same picture; it's two or three formats for the same product, so the result tells you something about what your buyers respond to.
| Format | What the static looks like | Good first test when |
|---|---|---|
| product_hero | Product centred on a clean or coloured background, short headline | The product sells itself on looks or packaging |
| lifestyle | Product in use in a real-looking setting, little or no text | The setting explains who it's for |
| problem_solution | A scene or line that names the problem, product as the answer | Buyers already feel the problem |
| ugc_testimonial | Phone-shot style, a hand holding the product | Your category runs on creator content |
| comparison | Product next to the thing it replaces | There's an obvious old way to beat |
| offer | The deal is the message | You actually have an offer in your product data |
| social_proof | Real reviews or ratings | Your product data includes real reviews |
The angle writer is told never to invent offers, discounts or reviews, so the last two only make sense when your data contains them.
A practical first round for most products is a headline static, a lifestyle scene and a UGC-style shot from the same angle, all at 4:5 for feed. That's three generations and one Meta test, and it answers the most common question new brands have: does a clean product shot or a real-world scene sell better for us?
Do advrt statics meet Meta's image specs?
They meet the requirements and fall short of the recommended resolution. Meta's Facebook Feed guide recommends 4:5 at 1440×1800, JPG or PNG, up to 30 MB, at least 600 pixels wide. Our 4:5 output was 896×1152 and our 1:1 output 1024×1024. In a phone feed that's sharp enough; if you also use the image on a large display, upscale it first.
| Meta | advrt (our test) | |
|---|---|---|
| Recommended ratio | 4:5 | 4:5 available (also 1:1, 9:16, 16:9) |
| Recommended resolution | 1440×1800 | 896×1152 at 4:5 |
| Minimum width | 600 px | Met |
| File type | JPG or PNG | Met |
| Headline field | 27 characters recommended | advrt targets under 40; trim to 27 |

advrt vs template tools and design apps
Static ads come from three kinds of tools. The question is whether you want templates, control or your product drawn into a scene.
| Option | Best for | Main tradeoff | Editable text layer |
|---|---|---|---|
| advrt | Product-accurate statics in feed sizes, tested on Meta | Text is part of the image: proofread, regenerate to change | |
| Template ad generators | Many sizes from one layout, brand fonts enforced | Templated look; product is pasted, not placed in a scene | |
| Design apps (Canva, Figma) | Full control over every element | You do the design; no testing | |
| Text-to-image without your photo | Concepts and backgrounds | The product is invented |

Questions
- Can advrt put a headline on the image?
- Yes. Write the headline into the brief and the image model draws it as part of the picture. Proofread it, because there's no text layer to correct afterwards.
- Which size should I use for Facebook Feed?
- 4:5. Meta recommends 4:5 for Feed images. advrt also makes 1:1, 9:16 and 16:9.
- Can I edit the ad after it's generated?
- Not inside advrt. Change the brief and regenerate, or download the image and edit it in Canva, Figma or Photoshop.
- Does advrt use my brand fonts?
- The brand kit, including fonts and colours, is passed to the model as guidance. It isn't enforced, so results can drift from your exact typeface.
- Why is there a Shop now button in the image?
- The model often adds one. Meta already shows a real button below the ad, so ask for no button in the brief if you don't want a painted one.
