How long does it take to generate ads?
It varies with load. Watch the status on the build screen or in Recent generations rather than a clock.
Long enough that you should not sit and watch it. Sellify does not promise a fixed time, and the copy is written after the image, so an ad can appear before its text does.
Use the status instead of a clock:
| Where | What you see |
|---|---|
| Build screen, Latest generation panel | Queued ("Your brief is queued and will start in a moment"), then Generating ("Building your ad variations"), then Ready or Needs attention. |
| Ad library → Recent generations | A Queued, Generating… or Failed badge on each run. |
Under heavy load the queued row says there is high traffic and your generation is in line. That is normal; the run starts when a slot frees up.
If a run shows Failed, expand it in Recent generations and use Rerun. If it shows Ready but an ad has a Backup copy badge, the image is done and only the copy fell back; see Edit an ad.
You never have to stay on the page. See Can I leave the page while ads generate?
