Contact salesHow to cancel your subscription
You cancel from My Profile, not from the public pricing page. The app opens a short guided flow; the last step applies the cancellation.
- Open My Profile and go to the Plan and Credits tab.
/ui/profile.html?tab=credits - In the My plan section, click Cancel plan when that button is visible.
When Cancel plan is shown
- The button appears for an active paid subscription.
- If you pay with Stripe, it can also appear during a trial or when the subscription is past due.
- The button stays hidden if a cancellation is already scheduled at the end of the billing period (Stripe), or when your subscription state is not one of the cases above.
If you pay with Stripe, Manage billing opens the Stripe customer portal (payment method and invoices). That is separate from Cancel plan.
After you start cancellation, the modal steps are: confirm, then choose a main reason (required; if you pick Other, More details is required), then summaries of your library and impact, important notes about access changes, an optional retention offer, and a final confirmation. On the last screen, Cancel my plan sends the cancellation request from the app.
On the final screen, the app also reminds you: You will keep your files, but business cards and landing pages will no longer be accessible.
Tips & Best Practices
Getting the Best Results
1. Write Clear Creative Direction
Be specific about what you want. Instead of "make it look good," describe:
- The mood or feeling you want (e.g., "modern and minimalist" or "bold and energetic")
- Key elements to include (e.g., "include a discount badge" or "show the product prominently")
- Color preferences (e.g., "use brand colors" or "warm color palette")
- Text requirements (e.g., "include call-to-action button" or "minimal text")
2. Use High-Quality Product Images
- Upload clear, well-lit product photos
- Remove backgrounds when possible for better integration
- Use consistent image styles across products in Multi Mode
- Ensure products are centered and clearly visible
3. Complete Your Brand Setup
- Upload a high-resolution logo (PNG with transparent background preferred)
- Fill in all business information fields
- Define your target audience accurately
- Add social media handles for better context
4. Multi Mode Best Practices
- Use clear, descriptive product names (they will appear on the design)
- Provide prices in the correct currency format
- Upload one image per product (not multiple images)
- Review all products before generating to ensure accuracy
- Product names stay in the same location across all designs for consistency
5. Effective Design Editing
- Be specific: "Remove the phone number" instead of "change the contact info"
- Request one change at a time for better results
- View all variations as thumbnails before approving
- For Multi Mode edits, changes apply to all products
6. Language Selection
- Select the language that matches your target audience
- RTL languages (Arabic) are automatically handled
- Ad copy generation respects your language selection
7. Managing Your Credits
- Check your credits before starting large projects
- Plan Multi Mode jobs carefully (1 credit per product)
- Use Tips Carousel efficiently (1 credit per slide)
- Credits reset monthly, so use them before they expire
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ❌ Uploading multiple images for a single product in Multi Mode (use one image per product)
- ❌ Vague creative direction ("make it better" doesn't help)
- ❌ Forgetting to upload a logo (required for best results)
- ❌ Not reviewing product information before generating in Multi Mode
- ❌ Requesting too many changes in one edit (break it into multiple edits)
Processing Times
Most jobs finish quickly, but processing time depends on system load and complexity.
- Images: usually 1–2 minutes
- Videos: usually 2–4 minutes
In peak times and depending on system usage and pressure, this can increase. Be patient and don’t create new jobs. If after 10 minutes the job hasn’t been created, there is a problem. Contact support and try to create another job.
FAQ
Why am I charged even if I did not approve the image?
Credits are consumed when generation runs because compute and model cost happen at creation time, not at approval time. This is part of our business model, and plans are intentionally generous to give room for testing and iteration.
Why am I charged for edits?
Edits trigger a new generation pass, so they consume credits like any new output.
The first edit is free. After that, follow the Edit Guide to reduce paid retries and get better results with fewer attempts.
Why am I charged 9 image credits in Swipe mode?
Swipe mode is designed to generate multiple concepts in one run (3, 6, or 9), so credits match the selected concept count. If you need only one image, use General Design mode instead.
Why is the wrong logo showing on my designs?
Make sure you have uploaded your correct logo in the Brand Edit page. The system uses whatever logo is set for the selected brand.
Why is the wrong phone number showing?
Go to the Brand Edit page and verify that the phone number saved there is correct. The system pulls contact details directly from your brand settings.
What if I don't want to show some contact details?
When creating a job, you can choose which contact details to include (phone, website, email, etc.). For permanent settings, go to the Brand Edit page and configure which details should appear by default on all future jobs.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
"Not enough credits" Error
Solution: Check your remaining credits in the header. Upgrade your plan or wait for monthly credit reset. During trial, make sure you haven't exceeded trial limits.
Design Generation Failed
Solution: Check that you've provided all required inputs (creative direction, product images, etc.). Try simplifying your creative direction or regenerating the design.
Logo Not Appearing in Designs
Solution: Make sure you've uploaded a logo in your brand settings. The logo should be in PNG or JPG format. If the logo still doesn't appear, try re-uploading it.
Multi Mode Products Not Generating
Solution: Ensure each product has an image uploaded. Check that product names and prices are filled in. Make sure you haven't exceeded the 10-product limit.
Edit Request Failed
Solution: Be more specific in your edit request. Instead of "change it," say exactly what you want changed (e.g., "remove the phone number" or "change background to blue").
Publishing Failed
Solution: Check that your Facebook/Instagram accounts are properly connected. Ensure you have the necessary permissions. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your accounts.
Facebook & Instagram Connection Issues (Most Common Fixes)
If publishing fails or posts go to the wrong channel, follow these fixes in order.
1) Cannot publish at all
Fix: Reconnect from Adly Integrations:
2) Publishes to Facebook but not Instagram (or the opposite)
Fix: Make sure your Facebook Page and Instagram account are linked together in Meta Business settings.
Open: https://business.facebook.com/latest/home
In the connected accounts area, confirm both Facebook and Instagram are visible. If one is missing, link it first, then reconnect pages in Adly Integrations.
Through this link: https://getadly.com/ui/profile.html?tab=integrations
3) My page does not appear when linking in Adly
Fix (hard reset):
- Go to Facebook Business Integrations.
- Remove Adly from connected apps.
- Reconnect again from Adly Integrations.
4) Publishes to the wrong page
Fix: Do the same hard reset as above (remove Adly in Facebook Business Integrations, then reconnect from Adly). During reconnect, choose the exact Page and Instagram account pair you want to publish to.
