Image Assets Built for Performance Max Asset Groups

Performance Max campaigns don't use one fixed ad — Google's system assembles ads on the fly from an asset group of images, headlines, and logos, then serves them across Search, Display, YouTube, Discover, Gmail, and Maps. Fluxx.work generates the image assets that asset group actually calls for, in the sizes Google's automated assembly needs.

How Performance Max assembles ads from your asset group

Rather than uploading one finished ad, Performance Max asks for a pool of images at square (1:1), landscape (1.91:1), and portrait/vertical formats, plus headlines and descriptions, and it automatically combines them per surface — a landscape image might run in Display, while a square one runs in a Discover feed. Weak or missing formats in the asset group mean Google either won't serve on that surface or will auto-crop what you gave it.

Product clarity for Shopping-adjacent placements

Performance Max campaigns tied to a Shopping feed surface product images inside Search and Shopping placements where viewers are already comparison-shopping. A clear, accurately colored product image without lifestyle clutter tends to serve better here than a stylized scene, since it mirrors the plain product-listing images shoppers already expect on Search.

Covering every required aspect ratio, not just one

Google explicitly recommends supplying multiple aspect ratios per asset group because the system has no fallback beyond auto-cropping a single image when a format is missing. Fluxx.work generates square, landscape, and portrait versions from the same product photo up front, so the asset group is complete rather than partially filled.

I was worried the product would look different across images. The identity lock is real — colours, logo, everything stays pixel-perfect.

The AI-contextual backgrounds just work. It reads the product and picks the right aesthetic. We've stopped paying for stock photo subscriptions.
