AI Explainer Video Maker: Create Product Explainer Videos

A well-placed explainer video on a landing page or product page can lift conversion meaningfully — but producing one traditionally costs thousands and takes weeks. MakeThisVid generates short product explainer videos from a text description or product photo. Describe the problem you solve, the key benefit, and the visual style you want, and our AI renders a polished clip in under two minutes. Drop it on your landing page, run it as a pre-roll, or use it in a paid social funnel.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a product photo or write a concept prompt

    Use a product screenshot, interface mockup, or physical product photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB), or describe the core idea: the problem being solved, the solution, and the visual metaphor you want.

  2. Choose your mode

    Photo → Video: animates your product image — great for physical products, dashboards, or app UIs. Text → Video: generates a conceptual scene from scratch — ideal for abstract services, SaaS tools, or before/after concept videos.

  3. Write an explainer-focused motion prompt

    Explainer video works best with clear, focused compositions and purposeful camera movement. E.g. "Clean product dashboard floating on a minimal white background, slow zoom to key metric, soft studio light, crisp and professional." Lead with clarity, not complexity.

  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. Deploy on landing pages, ads, and email

    Download the MP4. Embed it on your product page, include it in onboarding emails, or run it as a YouTube pre-roll or paid social ad. Commercial use included on every plan.
