Seedand

AI Facebook ad generator for video and image ads

Facebook is three placements pretending to be one. Feed wants square, Stories and Reels want vertical full-bleed, and the same master cut cannot serve all of them without getting letterboxed or cropped through the subject. Seedand generates a separate cut for each, sized to the Meta spec before anything renders.

Why Facebook ad creative fails

Most Facebook ads are not rejected for the idea. They underperform because the asset was built once and pushed everywhere. A 16:9 hero film dropped into a Reels placement gets pillarboxed, loses roughly 44 percent of the frame, and reads instantly as repurposed. Meta's own delivery system then shows it less, because engagement on a badly framed ad is lower from the first impression.

The second failure is sound. Facebook Feed autoplays muted for most of its audience, so an ad that carries its argument in a voiceover says nothing to the majority of people who see it. Captions are not an accessibility afterthought on this platform; they are the primary channel.

The third is the first three seconds. Meta's auction rewards early retention, and a slow brand-led open bleeds the impressions you already paid for. The hook has to land before the viewer decides, which on a phone is faster than most brand guidelines assume.

The formats this covers

Facebook Feed

1:1 · cut to 60s

Square survives both mobile and desktop placement without a second export. Still the highest-volume surface for most advertisers.

Facebook Stories

9:16 · cut to 60s

Full bleed, no letterboxing. Interactive stickers overlay the lower third, so keep the call to action clear of it.

Facebook Reels

9:16 · cut to 90s

Competes directly with organic video. Polish can hurt you here — the ads that work look like posts.

How it works

  1. 01

    Give it the product

    Upload a product photo, paste a store URL, choose an AI UGC actor, or drop in footage you already shot. One input is enough to start.

  2. 02

    Pick the treatment

    UGC testimonial, spokesperson, product in scene, unboxing, screen recording or motion graphics. Set the tone and industry once and it carries across every variant.

  3. 03

    Export every Meta placement

    Feed, Stories and Reels come back as separate cuts, each built to its own ratio and duration cap, with captions inside the safe zone.

Facebook video ads, generated rather than edited

A Facebook video ad generator is only useful if it understands the placement. Seedand writes the hook to the duration the placement allows, frames the subject for the aspect ratio, and positions captions where Meta's interface will not cover them. That is the difference between an ad generator and a video editor with presets.

Every concept comes back with the angle it is arguing — problem first, outcome first, proof first, offer first, or curiosity. Testing five genuinely different arguments teaches you something about your audience. Testing five rewordings of the same sentence teaches you nothing, which is the trap most bulk ad creative falls into.

Image ads and carousels

Not every Facebook campaign needs video. Static image ads still carry a large share of e-commerce spend, and a carousel remains the cheapest way to show a catalogue without shooting anything. Seedand generates both from the same brief, so the headline, body copy and call to action stay consistent whether the asset moves or not.

Product photography is the common blocker. A single flat catalogue image can be relit and placed into a scene that matches the platform, which means you can produce ad creative for a SKU you never photographed for advertising in the first place.

Who this is for

E-commerce and DTC brands running many SKUs need variants faster than a studio can shoot them. SaaS and mobile app advertisers need screen-led creative that survives a muted feed. Agencies need client-ready sets across every placement in one pass, without a designer manually resizing each export.

The common thread is volume. If you run one campaign a quarter, a production crew will beat any generator. If you are testing weekly and your creative is the bottleneck rather than your budget, that is the problem this solves.

Media buyers tend to arrive here first, because they feel the shortage soonest. A campaign that needs thirty creatives a month to keep frequency down cannot wait on a shoot calendar, and the alternative has usually been recycling last quarter's assets until performance decays.

Writing the hook for a muted feed

The opening line does most of the work in a Facebook ad, and it has to work without sound. That means the hook is a caption before it is a script: the first frame should carry a readable claim, not a logo animation or an establishing shot.

Length matters more than writers expect. A hook that runs past roughly seven words gets truncated by the caption box on smaller phones, and the reader loses the claim halfway through. Seedand writes the hook to the placement duration and keeps it inside a readable line, which is a constraint most script generators ignore entirely.

The second line should earn the next three seconds rather than restate the first. Problem-first angles work well on cold audiences who have not named the problem yet; offer-first angles waste impressions on anyone who has never heard of you. The angle label on every generated concept tells you which argument you are actually testing.

Testing more angles without more spend

Creative testing fails for a mundane reason: teams produce three variants, run them, and learn almost nothing because all three said the same thing. Statistical significance needs difference, not volume, and rewording a headline is not difference.

Five angles across three placements is fifteen assets from one brief. That is enough to learn which argument your audience responds to, not merely which thumbnail they preferred. Once an angle wins, you can generate more variants inside that angle rather than starting over.

This also changes how you read results. If problem-first beats proof-first across every placement, that is a positioning finding worth carrying into your landing page and your sales copy, not just your ad account.

Brand consistency across variants

Volume usually costs consistency. Thirty assets produced quickly tend to drift: different fonts, different colour treatments, a call to action that changes wording between placements. That drift is what makes generated creative look generated.

Set the tone and industry once and it carries across every concept in the set. The call to action stays consistent with the campaign objective you picked, and the copy keeps the same voice whether it lands in a Feed square or a vertical Reel.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI create Facebook ads?
Yes. Seedand generates the hook, script, captions and call to action, then builds a cut for each Meta placement at the correct aspect ratio and duration. You supply a product photo, a URL, a script or existing footage.
Does it write the ad copy and headlines too?
Yes. Every concept includes a hook written to the placement's duration cap, body copy, and a call to action matched to your campaign objective. The copy and the cut are generated together rather than bolted on afterwards.
What size should a Facebook video ad be?
Meta's ads guide recommends 4:5 at 1440 x 1800 for Feed, and 9:16 for Stories and Reels. Length limits are generous (Stories accepts up to 3 minutes, Reels up to 15), so Seedand cuts to 60 seconds or less per placement rather than exporting one file and letting Meta crop it.
Is there a free Facebook ad maker?
The free tier includes 25 generations a month with no card. One generation covers every placement you select, so a single brief across Feed, Stories and Reels still counts once.
Are AI-generated Facebook ads allowed?
Meta's policies change and several now require AI-generated content to be disclosed. Checking the current rules for the surface you are publishing on is your responsibility as the advertiser.
Can I use my own footage instead of an AI actor?
Yes. Upload a clip and it is recut, recaptioned and reframed for each placement. The AI UGC actors are one option among four, not a requirement.
Do the AI actors look like real people?
They are AI presenters and we label them as such everywhere. If your campaign depends on genuine creator footage, hire creators — we would rather say that than have you find out after the spend.
