Facebook Ads Maker: AI Video for Every Meta Placement

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

"Facebook ads maker" usually means a Canva-style template tool — type a headline, swap a stock photo, hit export. The result is a static image or a slideshow with kinetic text. MakeThisVid is a different shape. The output is generated video, not a template. The advantage shows up in CPMs: native-looking, sound-on video beats template carousels in Meta's auction by a wide margin.

Yes — Instagram lives inside Meta Ads Manager, so a Facebook ads maker is also an Instagram ads maker. See instagram-ad-maker for the Instagram-specific framing.
Yes. 1080p × 1920 for 9:16, 1920 × 1080 for 16:9. Frame rate is 24fps, codec is H.264 in an MP4 container — Meta's recommended specs. No re-encoding needed.
720p clips are 6 seconds; 1080p clips are 8 seconds. We don't generate longer durations — pick a tight scene and a clear visual idea and you'll get more out of each render than you would from a stretched-out template clip.
Pick 720p (1 credit) or 1080p (2 credits). Both ship with audio at 24fps. We don't offer 4K.
There is no no-cost tier. The cheapest way in is the one-time $2.99 pack, which gives you a single 720p clip with audio and commercial-use license — no subscription required. If a render fails for any reason, the credit is refunded automatically.
Most clips finish in 45–90 seconds. Peak times can push that to two minutes. You'll see live progress — no dead spinner.
Yes. Every paid plan and credit pack ships with a commercial-use license, including the $2.99 intro pack. Run it as a paid ad, embed it on a landing page, or hand it to a client.
