Uploader Panel Overview
The Uploader panel is the central hub for creating and configuring your Meta ads. It provides a streamlined workflow for uploading media and setting up ad campaigns.
Account Selection
Located at the top of the panel, the account selector allows you to:
- Choose which ad account to work with
- Search accounts by name or ID
- Use keyboard navigation (↑↓ arrows + Enter)
Switching accounts clears all uploaded media and configuration to prevent mixing media across different accounts.

The drag-and-drop interface supports:
Supported Formats
- Images: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF (up to 30MB)

You can select multiple files at once with any method.
Two-Step Upload

During upload, a progress panel shows:
- File-by-file progress with transfer speed
