Reddit Ad Maker: Create Video Ads for Reddit

Reddit's 100M+ daily active users are harder to reach — and far more valuable when you do. They're researching, comparing, and recommending. A native-looking video ad that fits the feed can drive significant traffic from high-intent audiences. MakeThisVid generates polished 8-second clips from a prompt or product photo, ready for Reddit Ads Manager in under two minutes.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose your input: prompt or photo

    Text → Video: describe the visual concept for your Reddit ad. Photo → Video: drop a product photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) and add a motion description.

  2. Write for Reddit's native feel

    Reddit audiences are skeptical of overt advertising. The best-performing Reddit video ads feel authentic and informative, not polished to a sheen. Aim for: "Clear product demonstration, natural lighting, no forced energy, direct framing." Authenticity beats cinema on Reddit.

  3. Understand the format options

    Reddit Ads Manager accepts 16:9 (landscape) and 1:1 (square) for promoted video posts. MakeThisVid outputs 16:9, which is the standard format for Reddit video ads. Vertical 9:16 is on the roadmap.

  4. Generate and upload

    1 credit per 720p video, 2 credits per 1080p. Renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Download the MP4 and upload to Reddit Ads Manager as a promoted video post. Commercial use is licensed on every plan.
