Getting started
A quick tour of Nano Ad Studio
Nano Ad Studio turns a buyer’s own words into direct-response photo, video, and animation ads, the kind built to earn a click and a sale. Here is the whole flow, step by step, with a look at each screen so you know exactly where you are going.
The one idea to remember
People buy a reason, not a product. The reason a specific buyer says yes is called the angle.
Every step below points back to this. Find a real reason, state it plainly in the ad, and back it with proof a buyer can check.
How the studio works
The main work areas take you from a blank idea to one finished ad. Run them in order this first time, then repeat whichever one earns results.
Add your brand and product
Before you open a studio, add the brand and product under Settings > Brands & Products. The selected product in the sidebar supplies the core product context for every ad, including product name, facts, price, and product media.

Find a real reason to buy
Inspiration reads how real buyers talk on Reddit and ranks the pains, objections, and trigger moments most likely to become direct-response ads. Use the comment button to inspect the proof, then use Use for Photo, Use for Video, or Use for Animation to send the angle to the right studio.

Each card is one reason a buyer says yes. The chips show the source, how often it comes up, and how recent it is. Borrow what already works
Ad Spy surfaces competitor ads with public reach and response signals. Click a card to inspect the creative breakdown, then use Steal Ad when you want Nano to adapt that winner to your product.

Use the metrics to decide what to study, then open the breakdown to see the hook, buyer problem, and offer. Choose the studio for the format
Use the sidebar to open Photo, Video, or Animation. Each studio has its own composer: Photo for static tests, Video for UGC or product demos, and Animation for stylized motion.

The sidebar is the creation entry point: choose Photo, Video, or Animation, then build the ad inside that dedicated studio. Make an ad inside a studio
Before My Ads has anything to review, generate the ad inside the studio. Work through these controls from top to bottom, then generate when the button becomes available.
Choose Photo, Video, or Animation
Use the sidebar first. Photo makes static ads, Video makes live-action or product-demo ads, and Animation makes stylized motion ads. There is no separate unified Create screen to start from.
Animation studioPick Format or Visual Style
This is the same kind of control with different names by studio. Photo Format chooses Direct or Indirect. Video Format chooses the structure, such as Talking Actor, Actor Story, Voiceover Demo, or Product Cinematic. Animation Visual Style chooses the look, such as Pixar Style 3D, Claymation, Anime Commercial, or 2D Explainer.

Templates gives you a starting angle or story structure. Pick one to fill the prompt, script, or animation brief, then edit it before generating. Pin templates you use often so they stay near the top.

The big text box is the main instruction. For Photo, describe the shot, product, setting, headline, mood, and anything to avoid. For Video, write the hook, scene beats, product proof, offer, and CTA. For Animation, write the scene-by-scene action, product moments, on-screen text, voiceover, and mood.

Add optional references
The selected product already gives Nano the product context. Use Attach only for extra scene, packaging, lifestyle, or mood references that should guide this one ad.

Choose actor when it appears
Actor controls only appear for video formats that need people. Choose an existing actor, manage actors in the Actors library, or select Create one for me so Nano generates an actor when the video starts.

Aspect ratio controls where the ad will run: 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, and Stories; 16:9 for widescreen placements; Photo also supports 1:1 and 4:5 feed crops. Duration appears for Video and Animation. Auto follows the script, while a manual duration fixes the target length.

Captions burns subtitles into Video and Animation. Realism on Video adds camera-like imperfections and ambient feel. Add Music on Animation creates and mixes a music track into the final ad.
