Hello, community! Using creatives provided by the advertiser or affiliate network is often a questionable idea. First, you don’t know how many other affiliates have already used that banner. Spoiler: the banner you’re kindly offered has most likely already run its course.
But sometimes, using a ready-made creative is necessary. Maybe you’re short on ideas, time, budget — or just feeling lazy. In those cases, creative “uniquifiers” come to the rescue. What are they, and how do they work? Let’s break it down.
Before we start, a reminder: we’ve already written about why you should always test your creatives and how to do it right. Highly recommended reading!
What Are Creative Uniquifiers?
Uniquifiers help improve your creatives by making them technically unique. It’s important to be clear from the start: there’s no magic here — a tool or bot won’t redraw your actor’s face or fully transform the content. It’s much more basic.
What an affiliate can expect are small, mostly cosmetic changes. A uniquifier might add visual noise, flip the image, tilt it, or change the audio. It may also modify the metadata. Most commonly, these tools process video, but there are options for static images too.
So why bother if the difference is barely noticeable to the human eye? Simple: to bypass ad network algorithms — especially during automated moderation. If you upload a killer creative that’s already been flagged elsewhere, your campaign won’t even launch. But tweak it just a little — and boom, you’re live.
Where can you use uniquified creatives?
- TikTok, YouTube. Obviously — these are video-first platforms, and the ads are video-based too. You can even use uniquified content to drive free traffic, but do it from a separate account (not the one where you watch cat videos).
- Facebook. You can use both image and video creatives here. Their moderation system will often pass slightly edited creatives — as long as you’re using a decent tool.
In other cases, you *can* use uniquified creatives, but many alternative ad networks aren’t as strict about creative originality.
Why Use Creative Uniquifiers?
Saying it’s better to use a uniquifier than to pay a designer isn’t just wrong — it’s nonsense. But we won’t deny: these tools can be super helpful in certain scenarios.
First of all, they save time. That’s a huge plus if you’re testing an unfamiliar offer and don’t want to spend extra on creatives before you’ve even estimated the potential ROI. Instead of blowing your budget, just test with existing (but uniquified) creatives.
Using the original creative carries risks — your ad might get rejected, or worse, your entire ad account could get banned. A uniquified creative isn’t a silver bullet, but it does significantly reduce your risk of getting flagged or blacklisted.

We also use uniquifiers when needed. Our pick: the tool offered by Space Profit Team. Why this one?
Their uniquifier is a Telegram chatbot. Just select “Uniquify creative,” drop in your file — whether image or video — and within seconds, your creative is ready to go.
It’s fast, the results are solid, and there’s no need to subscribe to 10 random channels (like some bots require). Bonus: you can process up to 10 creatives at once.
Conclusion
Creative uniquifiers are handy tools that help affiliates save both time and money. There’s no AI sorcery here — they don’t generate brand-new ads from scratch. But even the simple functionality they offer is enough to help you stay profitable. Because let’s face it: having a unique creative is great, but having skillful hands is better.
