Meta Ads Video Maker: Create Facebook & Instagram Video Ads

Meta Ads is the highest-reach paid social platform for most advertisers — but video creative requires constant refresh to avoid ad fatigue. MakeThisVid generates new Meta-ready video ads in under two minutes from a text prompt or product photo. One credit gets you a fresh 8-second video clip, ready to upload directly to Meta Ads Manager for Facebook feed, Instagram feed, Facebook Marketplace, or Audience Network placements. Test more creatives, find winners faster, and never let your ad set go stale.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a product photo or write a prompt

    Use a product photo, lifestyle image, or service scene (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB). Or write a text prompt describing the scene, the product, and the tone.

  2. Choose your mode

    Photo → Video: animates your product or scene photo with cinematic movement. Text → Video: generates a scene from scratch — useful when you need many variations or don't have suitable photography.

  3. Write a Meta-optimized ad creative prompt

    Meta feed ads perform best with clear, product-forward compositions and motion that creates thumb-stop in the first second. E.g. "Close-up of a product on a clean surface, slow orbit, warm soft light, minimal background — the product is the hero." Lead with the most compelling visual in the first frame.

  4. Generate at 720p or 1080p

    1 credit per 720p video, 2 credits per 1080p. Both resolutions are accepted by Meta Ads Manager. Most renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Credits refund automatically on failure.

  5. Upload to Meta Ads Manager

    Download the MP4. Upload directly to Meta Ads Manager under the Creative section. Use in Facebook feed, Instagram feed, Facebook Marketplace, or Audience Network video placements. Commercial use included.
