To make an ecommerce product video with MakeThisVid: drop a clean product photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) into Photo → Video mode, add a one-sentence motion prompt, pick 720p (1 credit) or 1080p (2 credits) and your aspect ratio, then click Generate. The MP4 with audio is in your account in 45–90 seconds. Commercial use licensed on every plan.

How to Make an Ecommerce Product Video with AI

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

PDPs with video convert at noticeably higher rates than PDPs without, and that gap is wider on mobile. The blocker for most ecommerce teams isn't the will — it's the production cost. A short, brand-consistent product video for every SKU is impossible at agency rates and barely possible at freelance rates. MakeThisVid changes the math: drop the photo, describe the motion, ship the clip. Same day. Same brand look.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Start from a clean product photo

    Photo → Video mode. The cleanest photo wins — single product on a neutral background, even lighting, no busy props. JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 10 MB.

  2. Describe the motion you want

    "Slow 360 turntable, subtle floor reflection, soft studio key light" works. "Liquid pours from the bottle onto a marble surface, slow-motion close, golden light" works for consumables. Specific motion beats vague "product video".

  3. Pick aspect ratio for the surface

    9:16 for TikTok, Reels, Shorts. 16:9 for YouTube and PDP embeds. 1:1 isn't offered — but 9:16 letterboxes cleanly on Meta feed. Pick before generation.

  4. Pick resolution

    720p (1 credit) for testing motion ideas. 1080p (2 credits) for PDP heroes and paid placements. Both ship with audio at 24fps.

  5. Generate and ship

    Click Generate. 45–90 seconds and the MP4 lands. Drop it into Shopify, Amazon (where supported), TikTok Shop, your ad manager, or your email hero.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Product detail page hero loops

Replace the static main image with an 8-second motion loop. Higher engagement, higher conversion, no editor required to swap when the SKU changes.

Whole-catalog video coverage

60 SKUs × 1 video at 720p = 60 credits = the Pro plan ($79.99/mo). That's $1.33 per SKU. Same-week catalog coverage instead of same-quarter.

Variant-level paid social

Generate a separate clip for each color, size, or pack-size. The aspect-native creative outperforms a single hero ad rotating across the whole line.

Frequently Asked Questions

A clean photo with even lighting and a neutral background works best. Phone-camera shots are fine if the lighting is good. Busy backgrounds and harsh shadows in the source will carry into the output.
Photo → Video mode preserves the product as the first frame and animates from there. The product identity stays intact for the motion duration. For fully fabricated brand-context scenes, text-to-video gives more creative control.
6 or 8 seconds. 8s is the default on paid plans. We don't generate longer clips — for PDP and paid social, shorter outperforms in both engagement and cost.
720p (1 credit) or 1080p (2 credits) at 16:9 horizontal or 9:16 vertical. Both ship with audio at 24fps. We don't offer 4K.
Yes. The MP4 is standard H.264 with embedded audio — accepted by every major commerce surface. Amazon has specific video-listing requirements (size and duration); the 6-8s 720p/1080p output fits inside them.
Yes. Every plan and pack includes a commercial-use license. PDP embeds, paid ads, email heroes, and TikTok Shop listings are all covered.
From $1.33 per 720p clip on the Pro plan to $2.00 on Lite. 1080p is 2 credits. One-time packs scale from $2.99 (1 video) to $259.99 (150 videos).
The credit refunds automatically. Most failures are content-policy related; pick a different photo or rephrase the motion prompt.
