AI Video Ad Generator: Create Video Ads from Text or Photo

Video ads consistently outperform static images across every major ad platform. But producing video — even 8 seconds of it — used to require a team. MakeThisVid is an AI video ad generator that changes that: type a prompt or drop a product photo, and our AI renders a polished 1080p video with audio in under two minutes. No timeline. No keyframes. No revision round. Download and run.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pick your plan or credit pack

    Lite ($14.99/mo, 20 credits), Standard ($29.99/mo, 50 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 200 credits). One-time packs start at $9.99 for 5 credits. Credits never expire.

  2. Choose Text → Video or Photo → Video

    Text → Video: write a scene prompt — describe the product, setting, mood, and any visual detail. Photo → Video: drop a product photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) and add a motion description to animate it.

  3. Write a specific prompt

    Specific beats generic. 'Close-up product reveal, marble surface, soft light, slow push-in, warm tones' will outperform 'nice product video.' Include the product context, lighting style, and energy you want.

  4. Generate in 45–90 seconds

    Click Generate. Our AI renders a 720p or 1080p video with audio and displays live progress. No dead spinner. Most renders complete in under 90 seconds.

  5. Download and run your ad

    Download the MP4. Commercial use is included on every plan. Upload to Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn, or wherever you run ads.
