Frequently Asked Questions
Can Perplexity actually generate advertising images?
Perplexity doesn't directly generate images, but it excels at creating creative briefs and optimized prompts for tools like Midjourney, DALL-E, or Stable Diffusion. Its added value lies in its ability to research current visual trends in your industry and produce precise descriptions and ready-to-use technical prompts. Think of Perplexity as your strategic art director, with a separate image generation tool handling the execution.
How do you adapt prompts for different advertising platforms?
Always specify the target platform in your prompt, as each channel has its own constraints and best practices. Meta Ads favor emotional visuals in square (1080×1080) or vertical (1080×1350) formats with less than 20% text. Google Display requires multiple formats (leaderboard, rectangle, skyscraper). TikTok prefers a 9:16 vertical format with a native, authentic style. LinkedIn demands a more professional tone with clean visuals. By specifying the platform, Perplexity will automatically tailor its format, style, and composition recommendations.
How do I get results that are consistent with my existing brand guidelines?
Build your brand constraints directly into the prompt: hex color codes, approved fonts, logo elements, tones to avoid, and examples of existing visuals you like. The more specific you are about your guidelines, the more Perplexity will produce briefs aligned with your identity. You can also ask it to suggest variations that respect your brand book while exploring new creative directions, for example by specifying 'stay within the brand universe but propose an unexpected visual angle to grab attention'.
