AI App Promo Video Maker

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

App promo videos are the most important creative asset on an App Store or Google Play listing — they drive the highest share of download decisions. But producing them takes weeks and typically costs thousands. MakeThisVid generates a compelling 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p promo clip from your app screenshot or a description of your app's core interaction in under two minutes. Use multiple clips assembled in a video editor to build the 15–30 second App Store preview. Or run individual 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p clips as your paid acquisition creative on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a plan or credit pack

    Lite ($19.99/mo, 10 credits), Standard ($49.99/mo, 30 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 60 credits). One-time packs start at $2.99 for 1 video.

  2. Choose your mode

    Photo → Video: upload your app's best screen — the core interaction, the result state, the satisfying moment. Text → Video: describe the key feature or user moment in vivid visual terms.

  3. Write a prompt showing your app's value

    Lead with the benefit moment. E.g. "Mobile phone screen showing a clean to-do app, tasks completing one by one, satisfying checkmarks, soft light on clean white background, slow zoom to the completion screen." Or use device framing: "App interface in a floating iPhone frame on a gradient background, animated micro-interactions, modern and premium." Focus on your strongest screen.

  4. Generate at 720p or 1080p

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

  5. Assemble your App Store preview or run as an ad

    Download the MP4. Use a video editor to string 2–4 clips into a 15–30 second App Store or Google Play preview. Or run an individual clip as a TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube install ad. Commercial use included.
