Everything you need to know about Nixi

Answers about Ads Studio, Catalog Studio, Catalog Videos, and Ad Clone.

General

The basics - what Nixi is and how it works.

What is Nixi and what can I create with it?

Nixi is an AI creative engine with two studios: Ad Studio for generating scroll-stopping ad creatives for Meta and Instagram, and Catalog Studio for AI product photoshoots and videos with real-looking models. You can create ads, product photos, catalog videos, and clone existing ad styles - all without a camera, studio, or design team.

Do I need design or photography experience to use Nixi?

No. Nixi is built for founders and marketers, not designers. In Ad Studio, paste your product URL and pick a campaign angle, and the AI generates the full ad creative for you. In Catalog Studio, upload a product image and choose a model, pose, and scene, and the AI generates the photoshoot. No editing software or shoot required either way.

How is Nixi different from hiring a photographer or designer?

A traditional shoot or design project takes days or weeks and costs significantly more per asset. Nixi generates studio-quality ad creatives and product photos in minutes using credits, so you can test more variations and refresh your catalog far faster and cheaper.

Can I generate videos, not just images?

Yes. Catalog Studio can turn your product photos into short catalog videos, and Ad Studio supports generating ad creatives as video, so you can use Nixi for both static and video placements on Meta and Instagram.

Are Nixi's AI-generated creatives good enough for real ad campaigns and e-commerce listings?

Yes. Outputs are designed to be platform-ready for Meta and Instagram ad campaigns as well as e-commerce listings on sites like Shopify and Amazon, as long as the imagery accurately represents your product.

Is there a free way to try Nixi before paying?

Yes. You can start free with no card required and generate your first ad or product photoshoot in minutes to see the output quality before committing to a plan.

Ads Studio

Generating ad creatives for Meta and Instagram.

How is Nixi different from Canva or other design tools?

Canva and similar tools give you templates - you still design the ad yourself. Nixi generates complete, campaign-ready ad creatives from scratch. It understands your brand identity, product, and audience, then produces structured ads with performance-oriented copy and visuals. Zero design skills required.

Do I need a designer or prompt-writing skills to use Nixi?

No. Nixi requires zero design skills and zero prompt writing. You bring the product URL - Nixi reads your brand automatically and handles the creative strategy, visual direction, and copywriting.

What ad formats does Nixi support?

Nixi generates ads in all major Meta and Instagram formats - Square, Portrait, Stories & Reels, and Landscape. Every output is formatted to the correct dimensions and text-safe zones for its platform.

How long does it take to generate an ad with Nixi?

The entire flow - brand scan, angle selection, and ad generation - is designed to take under 2 minutes.

Is Nixi suitable for D2C brands on Meta and Instagram?

Yes. Nixi is built specifically for D2C brands, e-commerce founders, and performance marketers running ads on Meta and Instagram. It understands product categories like fashion, skincare, footwear, food, and electronics.

Does Nixi understand my brand identity automatically?

Yes. Nixi's Brand Sense feature scans your brand website and extracts your visual DNA, tone of voice, colour palette, audience demographics, buying motivations, and competitor landscape. Every ad it generates uses this data - so your creatives always feel on-brand, not generic.

Catalog Studio

AI product photoshoots with real-looking models.

What is AI product photography and how does it work?

AI product photography uses generative AI to create professional product photos without a physical camera, studio, or photographer. With Nixi's Catalog Studio, you upload one flatlay or product image, choose a model, scene, and pose, and the AI generates studio-quality lifestyle and catalog shots in minutes.

Can I create product photos without a professional photoshoot?

Yes. Catalog Studio lets you generate product photos without a photographer, studio, or model booking. Upload a single product image and Nixi's AI produces multiple studio-quality shots - ready for your website, Amazon, Shopify, or Instagram - in hours instead of weeks.

How do AI-generated model photos work for product images?

Nixi lets you choose from a library of real AI models - different body types, ethnicities, and looks - to showcase your product. The AI blends your actual product with the selected model and scene, producing realistic on-model photos without hiring a model or renting a studio.

Is AI product photography good enough for e-commerce listings?

Yes. Nixi's AI-generated product photos are designed for e-commerce use - Amazon, Shopify, Meesho, Myntra, and D2C websites all accept AI-enhanced product imagery as long as it accurately represents the product. Catalog Studio outputs are studio-quality and platform-ready.

How much does AI product photography cost compared to a studio shoot?

A traditional product photoshoot with a studio, photographer, and models can cost thousands of rupees and take weeks to schedule. Nixi's Catalog Studio generates the same lifestyle and catalog shots using credits, at a fraction of the cost, with no studio booking or model fees.

Can I change the background or scene of my product photo with AI?

Yes. Catalog Studio lets you swap scenes instantly - studio, street, seasonal, or editorial backdrops - without reshooting. Pick any scene from the library and the AI recomposes your product and model into that setting.

How long does it take to generate a product photoshoot with AI?

Most Catalog Studio shoots - from uploading your product photo to receiving generated shots - take under a few minutes per batch, and a full catalog refresh can be done in hours instead of the weeks a traditional shoot requires.

Catalog Videos

Turning product photos into scroll-stopping video.

How does Nixi turn a product photo into a video?

Upload a single product photo - a catalog shot, flatlay, or lifestyle image. Nixi's AI animates it into a short, scroll-stopping video with natural motion, camera movement, and styling, ready for social and ads in minutes.

Do I need to film or shoot any video footage?

No. Catalog Videos requires zero filming, zero video equipment, and no video editing skills. One static image is all Nixi needs to generate a complete video.

What formats are Catalog Videos ready for?

Videos are generated ready for Instagram Reels, TikTok, Meta ads, and product pages - in the aspect ratios each platform expects, with no extra editing required.

How long does it take to generate a catalog video?

Most Catalog Videos are generated in a couple of minutes per clip. A full batch across your catalog can be done in hours instead of the days or weeks a video shoot and edit would take.

How much does a catalog video cost compared to a video shoot?

A traditional product video shoot involves a videographer, equipment, editing, and days of turnaround. Nixi generates the same kind of scroll-stopping motion content using credits, at a fraction of the cost, with no crew or editor required.

Ad Clone

Cloning the structure of any ad for your brand.

What exactly does Ad Clone copy from a reference ad?

Ad Clone reads structural and compositional signals only - the layout type, visual hierarchy, where the eye lands first, depth of field behaviour, shadow treatment, typography style, and text zone placement. It does not copy any visual content, brand colours, backgrounds, product imagery, or copy from the reference ad.

Can I use a competitor's ad as the reference?

Yes. When you upload a competitor ad, Nixi extracts the composition blueprint only - layout, hierarchy, depth, and typography treatment. Nothing brand-specific is carried over: no faces, no logos, no brand names, no background environments, no product packaging. Every piece of copy is freshly written for your brand and product.

How is this different from just recreating an ad manually in Canva?

With Canva you're working from a template - you still have to place the product, write the copy, pick the colours, and make every design decision yourself. Ad Clone does all of that automatically, using your product, your brand's visual DNA, and freshly generated copy. No design skills or prompt writing required.

Will the cloned ad look like a copy of the original?

No. The cloned ad shares the same compositional structure as the reference - the same layout logic, visual hierarchy, and text arrangement - but everything visible is entirely different. A viewer familiar with the reference ad would not recognise any connection.

What file formats can I upload as a reference ad?

You can upload any JPG, PNG, or WebP image - including screenshots taken directly from Facebook Ads Library, Instagram, or your own Meta Ads Manager. There's no need for a high-resolution source; a standard screenshot is sufficient for Nixi to read the composition.

Can I clone my own past ads for a different product?

Yes - and this is one of the most powerful use cases. If you've found a format that performs well for one product, upload it as the reference and select a new product. Nixi carries forward your brand's visual treatment, faces, and styling as structural elements, adapts the copy for the new product, and preserves the exact number and placement of text elements.

Does Ad Clone work for both square and vertical ad formats?

Yes. Ad Clone supports all Meta and Instagram formats - Square (1:1), Portrait (4:5 and 2:3), and Landscape (1.91:1). You choose the output format during the flow. Nixi adapts the cloned composition to the selected format's aspect ratio and text-safe zones automatically.
