A Creatopy (now The Brief) alternative for images from code

Creatopy became The Brief in October 2025 ("Your login stays the same"), an AI ad creation platform: "Turn your brand and products into on-brand ads. At scale."

Before you read on

The Brief (formerly Creatopy) is a full ad studio: AI-assisted design, HTML5, AMP and MP4 ads, every format on every plan with no render counting, and publishing to Meta, Google Ads and DV360. For a marketing team making ads by hand and with AI, it does far more than a rendering API.

The differences, plainly

Which one to pick

Take Creatopy (The Brief)

Marketers design and publish ads themselves, need HTML5 or AMP ads, and want flat per-seat pricing with no render counting.

Take Shareglint

Your images come from code and data — product feeds, user content, og:image — and you want the API on every plan.

What migrating looks like

You rewrite the template once, as HTML and CSS. Preview costs no quota, so getting the layout right is free. Then you swap a single call on your side.
