Canvas

Generate fast. Then fix the exact thing.

Every generated image ad opens as layers. Move the photo, retype the headline, swap the logo, and export — without re-rolling and hoping.

What you can change

Every part of the ad is its own layer.

Open a generated image ad and the photo, each line of text, the logo and the badge are separate things you can select and change.

  • Layers

    Move, resize, rotate, flip and group. Guides snap within 6 pixels, and holding Alt turns the snapping off.

    • Reorder, duplicate, delete
  • Text

    Retype any line, and change its font, size, spacing and colour.

    • 12 open-licence typefaces
  • Brand assets

    Your logo and up to 12 partner logos from your brand kit go straight into the layout.

    • Up to 12 partner logos
  • Keep-out guides

    Meta’s phone interface strips are drawn on the artboard, and never in the export.

    • Never exported
  • Versions and comments

    Go back to an earlier version whenever you like; restoring saves the current design first. Pin comments to a layer and mark them resolved.

    • Last 20 versions kept
  • New variations

    Export a design, then make 6 variations of it. They keep its product, main text and brand style with a fresh arrangement.

Keep-out zones, drawn for you

Meta’s buttons cover part of every ad. Canvas shows you where.

On a phone, Meta’s interface sits over the right edge and the bottom of an ad. Canvas draws those strips on the artboard at each size, so you can keep anything important clear of them. The guides match Meta’s phone interface for each size; the stripes themselves are never exported.

The strips at every size

  • 1:1 1080²

    Right 64 px · bottom 86 px

  • 4:5 1080×1350

    Right 96 px · bottom 189 px

  • 9:16 1080×1920

    Right 96 px · bottom 346 px

  • 16:9 1920×1080

Striped areas are where Meta’s buttons and captions cover the ad on a phone. Layouts keep your text out of them.

Safe to leave and come back

Close the tab. Your ad is still there.

Canvas saves as you work, keeps earlier versions, and tells you when a second tab got there first.

Autosave
Changes save as you work. The first save gives the draft its own address, so a refresh reopens it where you left it.
Two tabs, one ad
If another save landed first, you choose: reload, or overwrite. Nothing is lost silently.
Export
A PNG up to 15 MB. Export is refused while placeholder words such as “Your headline here” are still on the canvas.
Credits
Editing and exporting cost no credits. Making variations does: 5 credits each, 6 at a time, charged when the run starts.

Open your first ad in Canvas.

Make a batch in Image Ads, then click Edit in Canvas. Nothing to install.
