MakeThisVid is an AI video maker for Google Ads that generates 8-second video clips — 1080p, with audio, commercial licensed — from a text prompt or product photo in under two minutes. The output is a ready-to-upload MP4 for YouTube pre-roll, Google Discovery campaigns, and Video Action Campaigns.

AI Video Maker for Google Ads

<p>Google Ads increasingly requires video creative across YouTube, Discover, and Display. YouTube pre-roll ads, Video Action Campaigns, and Discovery ads all perform better with video — but producing even a short video traditionally requires a full production workflow. That's a barrier for any advertiser testing new product lines, seasonal angles, or audience segments.</p><p>MakeThisVid removes the production step. Type a description of the scene you want — or upload a product photo — and get a polished 8-second video with AI audio in under two minutes. Commercial use is licensed. The 16:9 MP4 uploads directly to Google Ads asset library for pre-roll, Discovery, or Display campaigns.</p>

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

YouTube pre-roll video ads

Performance Max asset groups

Google's Performance Max campaigns require video assets for full coverage across YouTube, Discover, and Display. Generate multiple video variations to give the algorithm diverse creative to optimize against.

Google Display video ads

Google Display accepts video ads across millions of partner sites. Generate product demos, lifestyle scenes, or brand moments at 1080p with audio — ready for Display placements without a production crew.
