Meta launches AI ad creative tools
Meta has launched an expanded suite of generative AI tools for advertisers. Now advertisers can not only create different backgrounds for product images, but also request the generation of complete image variations, as well as add fonts on AI-generated images, with more than a dozen popular fonts to choose from.

Meta says the feature has already started rolling, and in the coming months, advertisers will be able to provide text prompts to customize images.
