AI Video Maker for App Store Listings

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

App Store listings with video previews install at higher rates than screenshot-only listings. Apple allows up to three App Preview videos on each listing — but most apps ship with none, because producing polished mobile app preview video is time-consuming and technically specific. That leaves a clear competitive gap for apps that invest in quality preview content. MakeThisVid generates professional app interface and concept clips from screenshots or text descriptions in under two minutes. Use them as App Preview video content on your listing, or in paid Apple Search Ads and social media campaigns to drive install-page traffic.

  3. Prompt for app clarity and interface polish

    App preview content needs to communicate value instantly. E.g. "Clean iOS app interface, dark mode, smooth scroll animation revealing key features, white background mockup with clean shadows." Or "Mobile productivity app on iPhone, clean grid layout, satisfying interaction animations, premium and minimal design."

  4. Generate your clip

    Every video renders at 8 seconds, 1080p, with audio always on. Renders complete in 45–90 seconds.

  5. Submit as App Preview or use in paid acquisition campaigns

    Download the MP4. Submit to App Store Connect as an App Preview video (subject to Apple's technical requirements for your category). Use in Apple Search Ads and Meta Ads for user acquisition. Commercial use included.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Add a compelling app preview clip to your iOS App Store listing. Apps with App Previews see higher conversion rates from search impressions to installs — particularly for users who view the listing without scrolling through screenshots.

Use AI-generated app interface clips as video creative in Apple Search Ads campaigns. Video ads in App Store search results outperform static ad formats for app categories with strong visual interfaces.

Social media app promotion

Generate app promo clips for Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter to drive traffic to your App Store listing. A polished short clip communicates app quality and value faster than any text description.
