How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pay once, keep it clean

    $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. Upload the product photo

    Open the Create page, drop the product photo. Sharp, well-lit shots with a clean background work best. JPG, PNG, and WebP all upload directly. The photo becomes the first frame; everything that follows is generated motion from that starting point.

  3. Write the ad prompt

    Describe the motion and context you want. 'Hands lift the product into a soft-lit kitchen.' 'Camera rotates slowly while light shifts across the surface.' 'Customer holds it up smiling, then sets it down on a countertop.' Pick 9:16 for Reels/TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube/LinkedIn.

  4. Generate the ad clip

    Click Generate. Render runs on GPU; expect 45-90 seconds for the MP4 to land in your account. Audio is baked in. Broken renders are remade or refunded.

  5. Download and ship to your ad platform

    Save the MP4. Upload directly to Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads Manager, Google Ads, or your social scheduler. No watermark, commercial use licensed, audio already in the file. The whole loop — photo to live ad — runs in under five minutes.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This
