AdCreative uses templates. Lapis personalizes everything.

What AdCreative can't do for your ads

AdCreative generates ads from shared templates. Lapis personalizes templates, characters, and styles to your brand, so every ad looks like your team made it.

Personalized templates, not shared ones

AdCreative uses the same template library for every customer. Lapis generates templates dynamically, personalized to your product, your industry, your brand.

Try personalized templates

Characters that are yours, not stock photos

AdCreative pulls from shared stock libraries. Lapis generates personalized character suggestions or lets you create fully custom AI characters for your brand.

Create a character

Styles that know your brand

AdCreative applies the same visual filters to every brand. Lapis personalizes styles to your brand context, so "Minimalist" for a luxury brand generates differently than for a tech startup.

Explore styles

Edit after you generate

AdCreative locks you out after generation. Users report exporting to Illustrator just to fix fonts. Lapis lets you refine everything in-platform.

Ads that look like your brand, not AI

Why teams switch to Lapis

01

Your brand, not a template.

AdCreative uses shared templates across all customers. Lapis absorbs your full design system (colors, fonts, tone, button styles) and generates from it. Your ads look like yours, not like everyone else’s.

02

Edit after you generate.

AdCreative locks creatives after generation. Users report exporting to Illustrator just to fix font spacing. Lapis lets you refine copy, layout, and visuals right inside the platform.
