How to mock up a ChatGPT ad in 3 steps

  1. Step 1

    Add your brand

    Type your brand name and upload a logo or favicon. It shows in the brand row next to the Ad label.

  2. Step 2

    Write the ad

    Add a title (up to 50 characters), a description (up to 100), the destination link and an image. Counters show what is left, and each field stops at its limit.

  3. Step 3

    Preview and send

    Switch between Ad only, Mobile and Desktop, then screenshot the view you want and send it to your team or client.

ChatGPT ads preview

See the ad the way people will. Switch between three views: the card on its own, a phone running ChatGPT, and a desktop browser with the chat sidebar. In each, the ad sits under a sample answer with the Ad label and the disclaimer ChatGPT shows beneath it.

ChatGPT mockup generator

This mockup generator is built for the ad, not the chat. You edit the brand, title, description, link and image. The tool places the ad under a sample question and answer, so you see it in context without writing a conversation. The sample chat itself is fixed.

ChatGPT ads generator

This page does not write the ad for you. It checks your copy against ChatGPT's limits, 50 characters for the title and 100 for the description, and shows the result. Your best Google headlines make a good first draft, and PPC Ad Editor's Draft with AI writes those for free.

How ChatGPT Ads Work in 2026

OpenAI began testing sponsored placements on Feb 9, 2026 and opened a self-serve Ads Manager on May 5, 2026

Contextual targeting

Matched to the topic of the live conversation using context hints: plain-language topics and intent. Past chats and past ad interactions can also count.

Everything About ChatGPT Ads

A current guide to OpenAI's advertising platform, the chat_card format, targeting, and measurement

ChatGPT ads are sponsored placements that appear below an AI-generated response inside a ChatGPT conversation. OpenAI began testing them on February 9, 2026 and opened a self-serve Ads Manager to U.S. advertisers on May 5, 2026.

Each ad is a single “chat_card”, visually separated from the organic answer by divider rules, that contains:

  • Square creative: a product or brand image on the left
  • Brand row: the advertiser’s favicon and name, a small “Ad” label, and a menu
  • Title: 3–50 characters
  • Description: up to 100 characters of body copy
  • Destination link: the whole card links off-platform

A disclaimer below the ad reminds users that “Ads do not influence the answers you get from ChatGPT” and that their chats stay private. Ads never influence what ChatGPT says, conversations stay private from advertisers, and user data is never sold.

ChatGPT ads mockup FAQ

Is the ChatGPT ads mockup generator free?

Yes. The tool on this page is free, and you do not need an account to use it.

Can I preview a ChatGPT ad on mobile and desktop?

Yes. Switch between Ad only, Mobile and Desktop. Mobile puts the ad in a phone frame under a sample ChatGPT answer. Desktop shows it in a browser window with the chat sidebar.

What are the character limits for ChatGPT ads?

The title is 3 to 50 characters and the description is up to 100. The tool counts both as you type and stops each field at its limit.

Can I share the mockup with a client?

Take a screenshot of the preview. Share links and comments in PPC Ad Editor work on its Google, Meta, LinkedIn and YouTube ad formats. ChatGPT ads are not one of them.

Does the generator write the ad copy for me?

No. You write the title and description, and the tool shows how they fit. For an AI first draft of your Google Ads copy, PPC Ad Editor's Draft with AI is free.
