What is uplads and how does it work?
uplads is a bulk ad launch platform. Instead of building ads one at a time in Meta Ads Manager, you upload your creatives once and launch them across many ad sets from a single screen, with AI-written copy, consistent ad naming, and a full ads manager to optimize after launch. This page explains what uplads does and how the pieces fit together.
What uplads does
The core idea: upload creatives once, launch in bulk. You load a batch of images or videos, choose where they should run, and uplads creates the matching ads across every ad set you picked, all at once. Behind the scenes it downloads each creative, uploads it to the platform, builds the ad creative, and creates the ads in batches, so launching 30 ads takes the same effort as launching one.
uplads launches to Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, Google Ads and Snapchat. Which platforms your plan includes is on the pricing page; for TikTok specifics see Launching ads on TikTok, for Google see Launching on Google Ads.
Core concepts
A few building blocks show up throughout the app:
- Workspace: your team's shared account. You can invite teammates and assign roles. See user roles and permissions.
- Ad accounts: your connected accounts on each platform. The picker at the top of the launcher switches between them; everything you do (launches, the ads manager, naming) is scoped to the active account.
- Media library: where your uploaded creatives live, so you can reuse them across launches. See upload creatives to the media library.
- Ad Launcher: the single screen at
/launchfor building and shipping a batch of ads. - Ads Manager: a Meta-style table at
/ads-managerfor browsing, editing, and optimizing everything you've launched.
Where your connected tools fit in
uplads connects to several services, each with a clear job:
- Meta: the primary destination. You must connect a Meta account before you can launch there. See connect your Meta account.
- TikTok, Google Ads and Snapchat: further destinations, launched from the same screen. See connect your TikTok account and connect your Google Ads account.
- Google Drive and Dropbox: load creatives straight from cloud storage into your launch. See import from Google Drive and import from Dropbox.
- Slack and ClickUp: get launch and rule notifications where your team already works. See connect Slack and connect ClickUp.
- Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants: connect one over MCP and it can do the setup work for you: import creatives, write the copy and build the campaign, then hand you a staged launch to review. See connect Claude or ChatGPT.
The Ad Launcher at a glance
Every launch happens on one screen, laid out in three parts:
- Ads (left): click Load Media to pull creatives from the library, Dropbox, Google Drive or your existing posts. Each file becomes an ad, files of the same creative in 9x16, 4x5 and 1x1 are grouped into one multi-placement ad, and you edit names inline or in Table Mode.
- Ad Sets (top right): search your ad sets and campaigns by name or ID and tick where the ads should go, or create a new ad set or campaign in place.
- Ad Setup (right, under Ad Sets): primary text, headline, description, CTA, web link and UTM parameters, plus Load Copy for saved templates, the AI copy buttons, and the Launch ads as Paused / Active toggle.
Above the Ads panel sit Preview, Save (a draft), Schedule and Launch N Ads. Below the launcher, the Ad Launches, Launch Drafts and Scheduled Ads tabs keep the history on the same page. When you relaunch an existing ad or build a partnership / Spark ad, the copy fields are not needed because the original post is reused.

What you need before you start
The one hard prerequisite is a connected ad account: the launcher asks you to pick one before it shows the cards. Once that's in place, you're ready to go.
Start with the quickstart: launch your first ads, then connect Meta if you haven't already. If you would rather describe the campaign than click it together, connect Claude or ChatGPT and let it stage the launch for you.
