Every option below is part of the Herofab studio. - **Formats:** Square 1:1, portrait 4:5, story 9:16 or banner 16:9 - **Styles:** Minimal, bold, lifestyle or seasonal - **Text:** Headline up to 40 characters, supporting line up to 80, button text up to 24 — all optional - **Lettering:** Set by Herofab as type after the image is made; the image itself is generated without text ## Ad creative, answered. **Why is the text not generated by the AI?** Image models misspell and distort letters. The image is generated without text, and Herofab then sets your words as real type, so they read exactly as you wrote them. **Can I leave the text out?** Yes. Every text field is optional; a field left empty is not set on the image. **What if a text does not fit?** Each text is measured when the job is created, before anything is generated: a text that does not fit its space, or uses characters the typefaces cannot set, is refused with the reason shown. **Can an ad be used as a marketplace main image?** No. Marketplaces do not allow added text on the main image. Ad creatives are made for social media, banners and campaigns. **How much does it cost?** 5 credits per image. The cost is shown before you generate, and if a job fails the credits are returned. The 20 free credits at sign-up cover 4 images with this tool.
