AI Video Ad Generator for App Developers

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Indie developers and small app teams ship great products but rarely have time or budget for video ad production. App Store optimization, Google UAC campaigns, and social ads all need video creative — and static screenshots underperform video on every platform. MakeThisVid lets you drop a screenshot of your app's best moment and get a compelling 8-second 1080p video clip in under two minutes. Generate creative for your App Store listing, Apple Search Ads, Google App campaigns, or social acquisition — without a production budget or a subscription.

Make an ad from one prompt. $2.99 a video · Ready in about a minute · No subscription.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a purchase

    $2.99 makes one clean video, ready in about a minute — or add 3 more takes for $6.99 — any photo, any look, same clean 1080p with commercial use. Pay once. No subscription required.

  2. Choose your mode

    Photo → Video: upload a screenshot of your app's key screen or a mockup. Text → Video: describe the app's core value moment or the user transformation.

  3. Write a prompt showing the key interaction

    App ads convert on the core benefit. E.g. "Mobile phone screen showing a clean habit tracker app with a satisfying green streak, floating on a minimal white background, slow zoom to the streak, modern and crisp aesthetic." Focus on the outcome or the aha-moment.

  4. Generate your video

    MakeThisVid renders your 8-second 1080p video with audio in 45–90 seconds. Broken renders are remade or refunded.

  5. Deploy on app stores and paid channels

    Download the MP4. Use it in your App Store listing, Apple Search Ads, Google App campaigns, TikTok, or Instagram. Commercial use included on every purchase.
