Create ads
Edit and export creatives
Work on the project board: fix regions, add your logo and CTA, resize, translate, make variations and download.
Every batch lives on a project board. The board shows each brief with its ads underneath. Edits never overwrite an ad. They add a new version next to it, so you can always go back.
Find your projects
Open Creatives in the sidebar. Each tile is a project board. You can search, sort by newest or last updated, and group projects into folders: click Organize, then drag a project onto another to make a folder, or onto a folder to add it. Press Esc or click Done to finish.
The … menu on a project has Edit, Rename, Duplicate, Add to folder and Delete.

The creative sidebar
Click an ad to open its sidebar. It has two tabs: Actions for changes and History for the chain of edits that led to this version.
Adjust a region
Use Adjust Creative to fix one part of an ad, such as a word, a stray object or a detail on the product.
- 1Click Adjust Creative.
- 2Drag a box around the area you want to change.
- 3Describe the change, or use a chip: Remove this element, Change the text or Replace with....
- 4Press Enter. Press Esc to cancel.
The new version appears beside the original.
Logo and CTA overlays
Turn on Logo Overlay or CTA Button to place your logo or a call-to-action button on the ad. If your brand has no logo yet, Adrio asks you to upload one. SVG logos work best.
Click Edit Overlays to change position, size, padding, background, font, colors, border and shadow, then click Apply. Overlay editing works on desktop only.
Safe Zone Extension
Meta covers the top and bottom of Stories and Reels with its own interface. Safe Zone Extension extends the canvas so nothing important sits under it. Pick a preset for the placement, adjust the top and bottom sliders and click Apply. Compare the original and extended versions, then click Download Extended.
Generate Sizes
Open Generate Sizes, pick the sizes you need (1:1, 9:16 or 4:5) and click Generate Sizes. Adrio recomposes the ad for each size rather than cropping it.
Translate
Open Translate, choose a language and click Translate. All text on the ad is translated and re-rendered.
Create Variation
Open Create Variation to make a new take on an ad. Describe the change, use a suggestion chip, or click Pick different copy style to try another copy approach. Click Analyze variation to generate it.
Animate
Open Animate to turn the ad into a short video. This uses video credits and starts as soon as you confirm.
Give feedback
Hover an ad and click Give feedback. Click a spot or drag a box, choose who the feedback applies to (This product, This brand or Whole organisation) and write what should change. Press Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows) to send.
Adrio reviews the feedback and may offer a Suggested edit you can apply in one click. Feedback also shapes future batches.
The sidebar's … menu also has I don't like this, which tells Adrio to avoid similar ads, and What inspired this?, which shows the references behind an ad.
Work with several ads at once
Shift and drag to select ads. The toolbar that appears lets you favourite, download, translate, copy them to a new board, launch them as Meta ads or delete them. Download and translate skip videos.
Download and share
- One ad: open its sidebar, choose 1x for an instant download or 2x for an upscaled file, and click Export.
- All ads: click Download all at the top of the board to get a zip of every finished image.
- Share: open the board's … menu and click Share link. Links can be password protected and turned off at any time.
Add your own ads to a board
Use Add creative in the board toolbar to upload images, or Add from Google Drive to import from a connected Drive folder. To start a new board from files, click Upload creatives on the Creatives page. Images must be 1:1, 4:5 or 9:16, and MP4, MOV and WebM videos are supported.
