AI Vertical Ad Maker: Generate 9:16 Video Ads

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Vertical video is the default consumption format for the majority of social media time. TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Stories — all are built for 9:16 full-screen vertical. Brands that run 9:16-native ads see dramatically better engagement and completion rates than those who repurpose landscape content. MakeThisVid generates 9:16 vertical video ads natively — not a cropped version of a landscape clip. Describe your ad concept, choose vertical orientation at generation, and get a full-screen mobile ad in under two minutes.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a purchase

    $2.99 makes one clean video, ready in about a minute — or add 3 more takes for $6.99 — any photo, any look, same clean 1080p with commercial use. Pay once. No subscription required.

  2. Choose your mode and select 9:16 vertical

    Photo → Video: upload your product photo or visual. Text → Video: describe the scene. Select the 9:16 aspect ratio on the Create page to generate in vertical format.

  3. Write a prompt optimized for vertical composition

    Vertical compositions have different rules than landscape: lead subjects should be center-frame, vertical depth and height matter more than horizontal width. E.g. "Product bottle centered against a clean gradient background, slight rotation, bold hero composition, vertical full-bleed framing." Think portrait orientation, not landscape cropped.

  4. Generate your vertical video

    Every video renders in 1080p vertical with audio. Broken renders are remade or refunded.

  5. Deploy on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts

    Download the vertical MP4. Upload directly to TikTok Ads Manager, Meta Ads Manager (Instagram Reels placement), or YouTube Shorts. Full-screen native format, no letterboxing. Commercial use included.
