MakeThisVid generates 8-second video clips — 1080p, with audio, commercial licensed — from a text prompt or product photo in under two minutes. Use the output as a website hero video, product section video, or background clip on any website builder, including Shopify, Webflow, WordPress, and Squarespace.

AI Video Maker for Websites

<p>Video on your website homepage increases time on page and conversion rates. A hero video that sets the visual tone for your brand — showing a product in motion, a service in action, or an aspirational scene — communicates what your business is about faster than any text headline. But producing a professional website hero video traditionally requires a filmmaker and a production day.</p><p>MakeThisVid removes that barrier. Describe the scene you want — or upload a product photo — and get a polished 1080p video with audio in under two minutes. Use it as a looping hero background, a product section video, a feature showcase, or an embedded clip in your homepage. Commercial use is included. No production crew required.</p>

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pick a 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.

  2. Generate your website video

    Go to makethisvid.com/create. Use Text → Video to describe the scene (brand aesthetic, product in use, lifestyle setting) or Photo → Video to animate a product image. Use 16:9 for hero and landscape sections, 9:16 for mobile-first verticals.

  3. Download the MP4

    Download your 1080p MP4 in 45–90 seconds. The file is self-contained with AI audio — no watermark on full renders.

  4. Optimize for web delivery

    For web embedding, consider compressing the MP4 with a tool like Handbrake (lower file size = faster page load). For background videos, mute the audio in your website platform settings or in the HTML video element.

  5. Embed on your website

    Upload to your website builder's video section (Shopify product videos, Webflow video component, WordPress media library, Squarespace video block). Or host on YouTube/Vimeo and embed via their player.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Homepage hero video

Replace a static hero image with an 8-second looping AI video that shows your product, service, or brand in motion. A moving hero image creates visual energy that a static photo cannot match.

Product page video on Shopify or Woocommerce

Animate a product photo into an 8-second video and add it to your product gallery on Shopify. Product pages with video have higher conversion rates than image-only pages.

Feature section background videos

Add ambient video backgrounds to website sections — a lifestyle scene looping silently behind feature text. Generate the exact visual tone you need in minutes instead of licensing stock video.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Download the MP4 and embed it as an HTML5 video element with autoplay, loop, and muted attributes. Most website builders (Webflow, Squarespace, Shopify) support this. For background use, mute the audio in your embed settings.
Yes. Commercial use is included on every paid plan and credit pack, covering website embeds, product pages, and landing pages.
An 8-second 1080p MP4 is typically 5–20 MB depending on motion complexity. For website performance, compress with Handbrake before uploading (target 2–5 MB for web delivery). Alternatively, upload to YouTube or Vimeo and embed — they handle compression and CDN delivery automatically.
Yes. Shopify's product media section supports MP4 video uploads. Upload your MakeThisVid MP4 directly — Shopify displays it in the product media carousel alongside your photos.
16:9 (landscape) is standard for desktop hero sections. For mobile-first designs or full-width mobile sections, 9:16 may work better. MakeThisVid supports both.
Autoplay video on websites typically requires muted audio to work across browsers (a browser security requirement). If you want visitors to hear the audio, add a play button that starts the video with sound on user interaction. For silent background videos, use the muted attribute in your HTML5 video element.
Yes. Photo → Video mode takes your product image (JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 10 MB) and generates a polished 8-second video with motion. This works well for product showcase sections on e-commerce sites.
