When you set up an experiment, Heatseeker’s AI selects an image from our library of images that have proven their effectiveness. View a selection of the library here.

Don’t love that image? Or doesn’t it match your brand or experiment goals? No problem, you can upload your own image. Follow our recommendations on image dimensions and text specifications for seamless uploads.

How to Pick an Effective Image

  • Pick an engaging image, ideally with people

  • Fit the experiment goal, target audience, and business/consumer purpose

  • We almost always recommend to use the same image for all your ad variants, to reduce the variables.

Finding an Image

Choose an image for your experiment. For example by browsing Unsplash.
