Yes! Go to Google Ads in the side menu, click the green Create campaign button, and choose the Performance Max type in the first step.

The wizard asks for: website, budget, strategy (Maximize conversions or Maximize conversion value), search themes, text assets (3 to 15 headlines, 1 to 5 long headlines, 2 to 5 descriptions, and the business name), and images and logo. You can upload the image right there in the wizard, without needing the account's image library.

Reminder: Performance Max has no ad groups. The assets live in the asset group, which is what you see when you expand the campaign in the manager. If a required asset is missing (for example, the logo), the wizard warns you before creating the campaign.

Google AI Optimization also tells you when the account is ready for a PMax campaign and opens the wizard already filled in.
