Pomelli is a free Google Labs experiment that uses AI to make on-brand social campaigns, ad creatives, and product photos in a web app, where you start each campaign by hand. Bannerify fills your own templates with your data through an API, so the same design renders thousands of times.

## Why teams switch

- Runs from your code: Google offers Pomelli as a web app and has not published an API for it. It can send images to Google Ads and Instagram, but a person starts each campaign. Bannerify renders from an API call, a Zapier or n8n step, or an image URL, so each new product or post gets its image without anyone opening a tool.
- Your design, every time: Pomelli generates new images with AI, and Google asks you to check that colors, logos, and textures came out right. Bannerify fills the layers of a template you designed, so the layout, logo, and colors stay the same.
- Made for volume: Pomelli is free for now. Google says users can make several hundred image and video generations, with no exact number or time period. Bannerify Automate includes 3,000 images a month for $29, or 10,000 for $59, and repeat requests from the cache do not count.

## When Pomelli is the better pick

- You want AI to suggest campaign ideas and write the copy and images for you.
- You want to turn product photos into studio or lifestyle shots with Photoshoot.
- You make a handful of social posts by hand and want a free tool.
- You also want a brand book or a website made from your brand profile.

## Switch from Pomelli in three steps

1. Rebuild one template: Start from a blank canvas or a gallery template, or import a Figma frame with the Bannerify plugin. Text, images, QR codes, tables, and charts are layers that your data can fill.
2. Name the layers that change: Give each layer that takes data a name, such as headline or photo. A request changes each named layer and keeps the rest of the design.
3. Send your data: Call the REST API or an SDK from your code, or connect a spreadsheet or form through Zapier, n8n, or Pipedream. The free plan gives 100 renders a month to test with.
