MakeThisVid is a browser-based AI video generator — no app download, no install, no App Store required. It runs fully in Safari on iOS, Chrome on Android, and any desktop browser. Write a prompt, generate a 6-second 1080p video with audio, and download the MP4 directly to your device. Everything happens in the browser.

AI Video Generator App: Browser-Based, No Download Required

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

You search for an AI video generator app. You find one. You tap 'Get App.' You wait for the download. You create an account inside the app. You find out the good features are locked behind a subscription you have to manage inside the App Store. MakeThisVid skips all of that. It's a web app — open it in Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, or any desktop browser, sign in with a magic link, and start generating. No download. No install. No App Store middleman taking 30% and adding friction to every step. The tradeoffs are real: you need a browser connection to generate (no offline mode), and there's no home screen icon unless you add it manually via 'Add to Home Screen' in Safari or Chrome. But the upside is significant: the same account works across every device instantly, you always have the latest version, and setup takes 45 seconds instead of 5 minutes. Output is full-quality — 720p or 1080p MP4 with ambient audio included, commercial use covered. Videos download directly to your device's Camera Roll (iOS) or Downloads folder (Android).

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Open in any browser

    Navigate to makethisvid.com on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, Samsung Internet, or any desktop browser. No download required. The full Create interface loads in the browser — same experience on mobile as desktop.

  2. Sign in with a magic link

    Enter your email and tap the link sent to your inbox — no password to remember, no App Store account required. Your session persists so you stay signed in on that device. If you're already a subscriber, your credits and history are ready immediately.

  3. Write your prompt and generate

    Type a scene description in the prompt field. Tap Generate. Select 720p (1 credit) or 1080p (2 credits). Renders complete in 45–90 seconds — on mobile, you can stay on the page or check back after. Credits start at $19.99/mo for 10 videos; one-time packs start at $2.99.

  4. Preview and download on-device

    The result plays in-browser with audio. Tap the Download button — on iOS, the MP4 saves to Files or Photos; on Android, it saves to the Downloads folder or Gallery. Standard MP4, no proprietary format, opens in any player.

  5. Add to Home Screen for app-like access

    Want an icon on your home screen? In iOS Safari, tap the Share button and 'Add to Home Screen.' In Chrome on Android, tap the three-dot menu and 'Add to Home Screen.' This creates a PWA shortcut — opens in full-screen, removes the browser address bar, works like an installed app.
