A Canva alternative for when you want the ads made for you

Canva is a design tool you drive yourself: pick a template, place your photo, type the copy, resize. StoreToAds is for the weeks you would rather not. Paste your store link and new ads arrive, built from your real product photo, prices and reviews, with every fact checked.

Launching soon. Early access opens in small batches; we'll email you first.

What Canva is great at

Canva is one of the most flexible design tools around. Its ad maker covers Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Google formats, with a huge template library, stock photos, brand assets, team collaboration and AI helpers in Magic Studio. If you enjoy designing, or you need a deck, a flyer and a story post in the same afternoon, Canva is hard to beat.

  • One tool for everything: ads, social posts, presentations and print.
  • Full control over every font, layer and pixel.
  • Templates and stock photos when you are starting from nothing.
  • Real-time collaboration for a team.

Where StoreToAds is different

Canva gives you a canvas. StoreToAds gives you finished ads. The difference shows up in who does the work and where the facts come from.

The weekly part matters more than it sounds. Ads wear out, and the hard part of running Meta ads is rarely one great design. It is a steady supply of new ones, each built on a different reason to buy.

No template involved: an annotated ad for Pip & Oak, our fictional sample brand, built from the product page (8 oz, about 50 hours of burn time, $32).

Which one should you pick

  • Canva if you like designing by hand, need non-ad graphics too, or already have templates you love.
  • StoreToAds if you sell physical products online and want fresh, on-brand ads every week without opening an editor.
  • Both: plenty of owners keep Canva for social posts and launch graphics and let StoreToAds handle the weekly ad supply.

How it works

How StoreToAds makes it

  1. 01

    Paste your store, not a template

    Your store link replaces the blank page. We read your products, prices, reviews and brand colors.

  2. 02

    Get a batch of finished ads

    Each ad is built on a different reason to buy, around your real product photo, in 5 sizes.

  3. 03

    Change words, not layers

    Click any word to change it, or ask AI to change it. There are no layers to line up.

  4. 04

    Keep Canva for the rest

    Download PNG or MP4 files and drop them into Canva if you want them in a deck or a post.

Examples

Fictional sample brands. Drag across an ad to see the store photo it was made from; our engine designed each one from that photo and the store's data.

Questions

Can I bring my Canva brand kit?

Not as a direct import. Upload your logo, fonts, brand guide or a few ads you like to the StoreToAds brand kit; we read them, you check the result, and every ad uses it.

Can I edit a StoreToAds ad in Canva?

You can download the PNG and place it in Canva like any image. Text changes are easier in our editor, where every word stays editable and the other sizes update for you.

Is StoreToAds a design tool like Canva?

No. There is no blank canvas or template library. We make the ads; you choose them, edit the words and run them.

Which one costs less?

Canva has a free plan and paid plans for its full toolset. StoreToAds starts at $29/month for 10 new ads a month, after 3 free ads with no signup. The real question is whether you want a design tool or ads made for you.
