Frequently asked questions

What does this ad preview tool do?
It renders your ad copy as realistic mockups of nine Google and Meta formats - Google search, Shopping, Maps, YouTube, Gmail, Discover, Facebook feed, Instagram Reels and WhatsApp - so you can see how one message reads in each placement before you build anything in an ads account.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Free, no account, no email gate. It exists because it's useful to know what your ads can look like.
Does the tool store my ad copy?
No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. The Copy share link button encodes your inputs into the URL itself - share that link and the recipient sees your exact mockups; keep it to yourself and nothing leaves your machine.
Why might my live ad look different from the mockup?
Platforms re-render ads per placement and per user. Google assembles responsive search ads from your pool of headlines and descriptions and can show two or three headlines in any order; Meta crops creative differently per placement. Treat the mockup as a drafting aid.
How do I preview a live Google ad without clicking it?
Use Ad Preview and Diagnosis inside Google Ads - it shows whether your live ad serves for a real query without recording impressions or tempting you to click your own ad. Always use the ad preview tool in Google Ads instead of looking up your own ads.
