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.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pick a plan or credit pack

    Lite ($19.99/mo, 10 credits), Standard ($49.99/mo, 30 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 60 credits). One-time packs from $2.99 (1 video) up to $259.99 (150 videos).

  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. Pick resolution

    1080p (2 credits) for keepers — Meta transcodes again on upload. 720p (1 credit) is fine for hook-test variants where the goal is volume, not max fidelity.

  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, 720p or 1080p, 6-8s) 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.
1080p (2 credits) for paid creative — Meta's transcoding is heavy. 720p (1 credit) for testing variants.
From $1.33 per 720p clip on Pro to $2.00 on Lite. 1080p is 2 credits. Bulk packs scale to $259.99 for 150 videos.
Yes. Every plan and pack includes a commercial-use license. Paid Facebook Reels Ads, organic Reels, and Stories are all covered.
The credit refunds automatically. Most failures are content-policy related — rephrase the prompt and try again.
