AI Video Ad Generator for Shopify Stores

Shopify stores live and die on paid social performance. Static product images used to be enough — now video ads dominate Meta, TikTok, and Google Shopping feeds. MakeThisVid generates polished 8-second product video ads from your existing product photos in under two minutes. Drop the image, describe the scene, and download a 1080p MP4 ready to upload to your ad accounts. No production team, no creative agency, no long turnaround.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pull your best product photo

    Grab the product image that performs best in your Shopify store or organic social — the angle, background, and styling that your customers respond to. That's your starting point.

  2. Drop the photo or write a prompt

    Photo → Video: upload the product photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) and describe the motion: 'Slow zoom in, warm lifestyle setting, product front and center.' Text → Video: describe the full scene if you don't have a photo ready.

  3. Add context that drives conversions

    The best Shopify ad videos show the product in use or in a desirable setting. Prompt for lifestyle context: 'Kitchen counter with product, clean modern home, morning light' for a food product; 'Gym bag with supplement, active lifestyle context' for health. Match the scene to your customer's aspiration.

  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. Upload to your ad accounts

    Download the MP4. Upload to Meta Ads Manager for Instagram and Facebook campaigns, TikTok Ads Manager, or Google Ads for video shopping campaigns. Commercial use is included on every plan.
