Snapchat Ad Maker: Create Snap Video Ads with AI

Snapchat reaches Gen Z and Millennial audiences at massive scale — and Snap Ads are unskippable, full-screen, and high-attention. MakeThisVid generates short, polished video clips from a single prompt in under two minutes. Keep in mind: Snapchat is a vertical-first platform (9:16 native), and MakeThisVid currently generates 16:9 landscape video. The 16:9 format is accepted for Snap Story Ads and Collection Ads, and 9:16 vertical output is coming soon.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose your input: prompt or photo

    Text → Video: describe the scene for your Snap Ad. Photo → Video: drop a product photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) and add a motion description — ideal for DTC product ads on Snapchat.

  2. Write for Snapchat's audience

    Snapchat is Gen Z and Millennial-dominant — fast, vibrant, visual. Lead with bold color and energy: "Bright neon background, product floating center, quick zoom, pop art energy." Avoid corporate stiffness.

  3. Understand the current format

    MakeThisVid outputs 16:9 at 720p or 1080p. Snapchat accepts 16:9 for Story Ads and Collection Ads via Snap Ads Manager. Full-screen Single Image/Video Snap Ads prefer 9:16 — that vertical format is coming to MakeThisVid soon.

  4. Generate and download

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