Facebook Reels Ad Maker: Vertical Ads for the Reels Surface

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Facebook Reels is the surface where Meta is concentrating its discovery push for older-skewing audiences who don't open Instagram. The placement is undervalued by most advertisers and tends to deliver cheaper CPMs than Instagram Reels for the same creative — when the creative is actually built for the format. MakeThisVid is built for that loop: generate a 9:16 clip that performs natively on Reels, drop it into Ads Manager, watch the CPM drop.

Make an ad from one prompt. $2.99 a video · Ready in about a minute · No subscription.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pick a purchase

    $2.99 makes one clean video, ready in about a minute — or add 3 more takes for $6.99 — any photo, any look, same clean 1080p with commercial use. Pay once. No subscription required.

  2. Pick 9:16 vertical

    Facebook Reels is vertical-first. Pick 9:16 on the Create page before generation. A 4:5 clip will run as in-feed creative instead — different placement, different cost profile.

  3. Write a hook-first prompt

    The first second carries everything. "Snap-cut into [subject] mid-motion, bold high-contrast color" outperforms a slow build. Lead the prompt with the visual hook, then describe the scene.

  4. Test previews, then keep the winner

    Every preview renders at full 1080p, so what you see is what you'd get. $2.99 makes one clean video, ready in about a minute — or add 3 more takes for $6.99 — any photo, any look, same clean 1080p with commercial use.

  5. Upload to Meta Ads Manager

    Create the campaign, pick Facebook Reels as a placement (or use Advantage+ Placements to include it). Drop in the MP4. The audio is rendered in — no copyright flag.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Cheap-CPM cold-traffic creative

Facebook Reels CPMs run lower than Instagram Reels for many audiences. Build Reels-native creative for the audience your account already targets and shift budget over.

Older-skewing audience tests

Audiences who don't open Instagram often watch Facebook Reels. Generate creative that lands for that demographic — slower pacing, clearer value props, less aggressive cuts.

Multi-placement Advantage+ campaigns

A single 9:16 clip can run as Facebook Reels, Instagram Reels, Stories, and Shorts placements via Advantage+. One generation, four placements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The 9:16 MP4 (H.264, AAC audio, 1080p, 8s) meets Meta's Reels Ads spec. The same file runs on Facebook Reels, Instagram Reels, Stories, and (via Advantage+) the Audience Network Reels-equivalent surfaces.
Same creative spec, different audience and cost profile. Facebook Reels skews older and tends to have lower CPMs in many verticals — worth testing as a separate placement instead of bundling under Advantage+ from day one.
No. Audio is generated and rendered into the file — no copyrighted music, no third-party samples. Safe for paid Reels Ads.
Reels Ads can run up to 60 seconds, but Meta's data points to 6-15 seconds for strongest completion. MakeThisVid's 6-8 second output is in that sweet spot.
