TikTok will allow advertisers to pull content from Getty Images when using the platform's AI ad creation tool. With the integration, advertisers can use Getty's licensed photos and videos to create ads that feature AI-generated content, including AI avatars that look like real people.

The integration will be available through TikTok's Symphony Creative Studio — an AI-powered video creation tool that's rolling out to all advertisers today. The tool can create videos based on product descriptions, add AI avatars to 'talk' about the product, and even incorporate AI-powered voiceovers in multiple languages. Advertisers can also use the tool to create multiple versions of an ad, as well as 'remix' an existing ad.
