MakeThisVid is an AI video ad generator for handymen that turns a job photo or text prompt into an 8-second video ad — 1080p with audio — in under two minutes. Commercial use is licensed on every plan.

AI Video Ad Generator for Handymen

Handyman businesses run on local trust and word-of-mouth — and video accelerates both. MakeThisVid generates polished 8-second video ads from your best finished-job photos or a text prompt in under two minutes. Show the repaired fence, the freshly painted room, the fixed deck railing. Run on Facebook and Nextdoor to stay visible in your service area without an agency or a production budget.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a finished-job photo or write a scene prompt

    Use a photo of completed work — a repaired deck, painted room, new shelving, fixed fence (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB). Or write a prompt describing the home repair service context.

  2. Select your mode

    Photo → Video animates your finished-job photo. Text → Video generates a scene — useful for showing a range of services or for seasonal home maintenance campaigns.

  3. Write a motion prompt that shows quality

    E.g., 'Freshly painted living room, crisp white walls, clean trim, warm afternoon light through window, slow pan across the space.' Or: 'Repaired wooden deck, clean boards, tight fasteners, green backyard visible, golden-hour light.'

  4. Generate at 720p or 1080p

    1 credit per 720p video, 2 credits per 1080p. Most renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Credits refund automatically on failure.

  5. Run on local platforms

    Download the MP4 and run on Facebook, Nextdoor, or Instagram. Target by ZIP code or neighborhood. Commercial use is included on every plan.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Neighborhood visibility campaigns

Run consistent video ads on Nextdoor and Facebook in your service area so homeowners think of you first when a repair comes up. Local frequency beats one-time mailings.

Seasonal home maintenance packages

Generate video ads for fall weatherization, spring exterior prep, or holiday light hanging. Seasonal packages are easier to sell with a visual ad that shows the finished result.

Honey-do list marketing

Target busy homeowners with a list-based campaign — 'Got 10 repairs piling up? One call, one visit.' Video ads showing clean, finished work convert better than text ads for this audience.

Clean, finished home environments: 'Freshly painted room, crisp white walls, clean trim, afternoon light.' Or: 'New fence in a well-kept backyard, straight posts, clean wood grain, sunny afternoon.' Finished quality — not tools and materials — is what homeowners hire for.
