Instagram Video Maker: Create Reels and Feed Videos with AI

Download the MP4 and post or promote it directly.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose your content type

    Product Reel: animate a product photo or describe a product in a lifestyle scene. Brand Reel: describe an atmosphere, color palette, or emotion that represents your brand. Organic content: write any scene you want to capture.

  2. Choose your input: prompt or photo

    Text → Video: describe the scene you want to appear in your Instagram video. Photo → Video: drop a product or lifestyle photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) and add a motion description.

  3. Write for Instagram aesthetics

    Instagram rewards high visual quality. Use cinematic terms: "golden hour," "shallow depth of field," "warm lifestyle setting," "slow dolly push-in." For Reels, add energy: "smooth pan," "vibrant colours," "satisfying reveal."

  4. Generate at 720p or 1080p

    1 credit per 720p video, 2 credits per 1080p. Most renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Credits refund automatically on failure. Note: MakeThisVid currently generates 16:9 aspect ratio; Instagram's 9:16 Reel format is planned for a future update.

  5. Post or promote

    Download the MP4 and post it as an Instagram Reel or Feed video. For paid placements, upload directly to Meta Ads Manager. Every plan includes commercial use rights.
