# Turn a creative into an ad or a scheduled post

## Once a creative is in your Library, you can send it straight into a paid campaign with Launch Ads, or into an organic social post with Schedule Post — without rebuilding it or downloading and re-uploading the file.

**Who this is for**

Anyone who has generated or uploaded a creative and wants to use it. Both buttons sit on the Library, on the **Create** tab.

**Before you begin**

- The creative must be saved to your Library. Generated images are saved when you choose to save them to the Library at the end of the tool's flow.
- For **Launch Ads**, the ad account for the platform you want to run on must already be connected.
- For **Schedule Post**, the social account you want to post to must already be connected on the **Social** tab.

**Steps**

1. Open the **Create** tab and scroll to your **Library**.
2. Find the creative you want to use.
3. Select it. The **Launch Ads** and **Schedule Post** buttons sit above the grid, on the right.
4. To run it as a paid ad, choose **Launch Ads** and continue through campaign setup.
5. To publish it organically, choose **Schedule Post** and continue into the social post flow.
6. Review the copy, targeting or schedule, and preview before you confirm.

**Expected result**

The creative is carried into the campaign or post you're building, already attached, so you only need to fill in the copy and settings around it.

**Common issues**

- **The buttons don't do anything:** Make sure a creative is actually selected first — selecting a tile is a separate action from just viewing it.
- **The aspect ratio is wrong for the placement you want:** Some placements need a specific shape. Re-crop the creative from the Library, or generate a version in the ratio you need before launching.
- **No account is available to post or advertise to:** The relevant account isn't connected yet. Connect it first, then come back.
