Write a scene for your product or drop a product photo, and the AI renders a 6-second 1080p MP4 with audio in under 90 seconds. Download and embed on your product page, run as a paid ad, or post directly to Instagram and TikTok. Commercial use included.

AI Video Maker for Shopify: Product Videos Without a Crew

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Shopify merchants face the same problem at every launch: product videos dramatically improve conversion on product pages and paid ads, but producing them costs $500–$5,000 per video if you hire a production team, and weeks if you wait for the shoot. MakeThisVid closes that gap. Write a description of your product scene — or drop your product photo and describe the motion you want — and the AI generates a cinematic 6-second clip with ambient audio. You can generate five product videos in the time it takes to brief a videographer. The output is a standard MP4. Embed it on Shopify product pages using Shopify's built-in video block, run it as a Meta or TikTok ad using the commercial use license included on every plan, or post to your brand's Instagram and TikTok feeds. Flash sales, product launches, seasonal promotions, shop-the-look content — these are the formats Shopify merchants generate most. You're not replacing a full brand film. You're producing conversion-ready video at the pace of your inventory.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose text or photo as your starting point

    Text → Video: write a scene description — 'skincare product on a marble bathroom shelf, morning light, slow push-in, aspirational lifestyle'. Photo → Video: drop a product JPG/PNG and add a motion prompt. Photo mode locks in the exact product appearance; text mode is faster for conceptual variations.

  2. Write for Shopify use cases

    Effective product video prompts describe setting, subject, mood, and camera movement. 'Clean white background, product rotates gently, sharp focus throughout, commercial-grade quality' works for product pages. 'Bold colors, fast reveal, flash-sale urgency' works for paid ads. Match the prompt to where the video will run.

  3. Generate at the resolution you need

    720p (1 credit) is sufficient for social and mobile ads. 1080p (2 credits) is recommended for product page hero videos and high-quality display placements. Plans start at $19.99/mo for 10 credits. One-time packs start at $2.99 for 1 clip — useful for a single product launch.

  4. Download and upload to Shopify

    Download the MP4. In Shopify admin, go to the product page → Media → Add media → upload the MP4. Shopify supports video directly on product pages — the embedded video autoplays (muted, per browser policy) on scroll. Audio plays when the user unmutes.

  5. Repurpose for ads and social from the same file

    The same MP4 you embed on Shopify is ready for Meta Ads Manager, TikTok for Business, Pinterest, and Instagram. Commercial use is included on every plan. You don't need a separate licensed version for paid use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Download the MP4 and upload it directly in Shopify's product editor under Media. Shopify supports video natively — no third-party app required. The video autoplays muted on product pages (standard browser behavior).
Yes. Every plan includes a commercial use license — you can run generated videos as paid ads on Meta, TikTok, Google, Pinterest, and other platforms without additional licensing fees.
Product reveals (single product on clean background), lifestyle scenes (product in use), flash-sale urgency clips (bold, fast-cut), seasonal promotions (holiday context added to existing product concept), and shop-the-look content (apparel or home goods in styled scenes).
Photo → Video when product accuracy matters — your product's exact colors and shape appear in the video because your photo is the first frame. Text → Video when you want to explore creative directions quickly — the AI generates a product approximation, which is fine for lifestyle and brand-feel content.
Use Photo → Video mode with the same product photo as the source image for each generation. Your product's visual identity is anchored to the uploaded photo, giving consistency across clips that text-only generation can't match.
1080p (2 credits) for product page hero videos — Shopify displays these prominently and higher resolution shows better on large screens. 720p (1 credit) is fine for social ads, mobile placements, and email campaigns where you don't need maximum clarity.
Lite plan: 10 credits/mo ($19.99). Standard: 30 credits/mo ($49.99). Pro: 60 credits/mo ($79.99). 720p uses 1 credit; 1080p uses 2 credits. One-time packs are available if you need a specific number without a monthly commitment.
No native Shopify app — MakeThisVid is a standalone web tool. Generate the video, download the MP4, and upload it to your product in Shopify admin. The upload step takes 30 seconds — no integration is needed.
