Google has recently announced exciting improvements to their creative tools, with new AI-driven features that enhance image and video creation, as well as more detailed reporting and insights for greater transparency into performance. These updates will empower advertisers to create more dynamic, personalized ads, tailored to specific industries and audiences. Here’s a closer look at some of the key features:
AI-Powered Image and Video Tools
Image Asset Generation:
This tool has been upgraded to be more purpose-built for advertising and performance-tuned with data specific to your industry. Using generative AI, advertisers can now create images “more like this” and guide Google’s AI with image references. Asset generation is also available in six languages, including German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Italian.
AI Image Editing:
With new AI editing capabilities, advertisers can create image variants at scale. Retailers, in particular, will benefit from product highlighting and font-centric designs, integrated with the Merchant Center feed. The tool allows for background changes, object removal or addition, expansion into new aspect ratios, and one-click enhancements. Additionally, image variations can be tested with different holiday themes, promotions, and localized content.
Video Enhancements:
Google AI can now automatically create multiple versions of your video ads, optimizing them for YouTube and improving campaign performance. These enhancements ensure that videos maintain key visual elements, even when converted into different aspect ratios. AI analyzes video content to adjust the messaging, ensuring it resonates with the target audience.

Brand Guidelines Customization:
Advertisers can now customize their brand kit to ensure their assets align with their visual identity, improving consistency across all campaigns.
Shareable Previews for Retail and Travel Goals:
Launched in early 2024, this feature allows users to share external links to preview their ads. This is especially beneficial for retail and travel industries looking to visualize ad performance across platforms.
Search Creatives
- Ensure your website content is accurate.
- Maintain your user-generated headlines and descriptions.
- Fill in gaps to achieve “Good+” Ad Strength.
Conversational Experience:
This feature allows advertisers to connect with customers more efficiently by generating keywords, headlines, descriptions, and images through AI-powered conversation tools.
Image Assets in Search:
Google is enhancing the visual search experience by introducing image collages. Advertisers should provide at least four unique, relevant images and ensure they’re linked to the landing page to improve the overall user journey.
Business Information Display:
Google now crawls advertiser domains to display business names and logos next to ads, enhancing brand visibility. If a domain can’t be crawled, advertisers can upload their own business assets for better control.
These new AI-powered tools for Google Ads open up innovative ways for advertisers to create more engaging and effective campaigns. From enhanced video creation to automated asset generation, these features are designed to streamline workflows and drive better performance across platforms. By leveraging AI to refine creative assets, businesses can deliver personalized ad experiences that resonate more with their audiences, ultimately improving conversions and campaign success. The future of advertising is undoubtedly AI-driven, and these tools provide a glimpse into how creativity and technology can work hand in hand.
