Ad Generator: Make a Video Ad in About 45 Seconds

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

A generic "ad generator" usually means a static image tool — copy and a stock photo, exported as a JPG. MakeThisVid does video instead. You describe the ad you want and our AI renders moving footage with synchronized audio. The output is the format the algorithms actually reward right now: short, sound-on, vertical or landscape, ready to post without further editing.

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