MakeThisVid is an online video ad maker that generates 8-second video ads from a text prompt or product photo — 1080p, with audio, commercial license included. No editing skills, no software, no crew required.

Video Ad Maker: Create Short Video Ads Online

Making a video ad used to mean editing software, stock footage subscriptions, and at least a half-day of production work. MakeThisVid is a video ad maker that compresses all of that into a single prompt. Describe what you want — product, scene, tone — and get a downloadable 1080p MP4 with audio in under two minutes. Upload straight to any ad platform and run.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pick your plan

    Lite ($14.99/mo, 20 credits), Standard ($29.99/mo, 50 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 200 credits). One-time credit packs start at $9.99. Credits refund automatically on failed renders.

  2. Choose Text → Video or Photo → Video

    Text → Video: write a scene prompt describing your product and visual concept. Photo → Video: drop a product photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) and add a motion prompt to animate it.

  3. Describe your ad scene

    The more specific, the better. Include product context, lighting style, camera movement, and mood: 'Product on a kitchen counter, natural morning light, slow zoom, clean minimalist aesthetic.' That beats 'nice product video.'

  4. Generate in under two minutes

    Click Generate. Watch live progress — no dead spinner. Most renders complete in 45–90 seconds. 1 credit for 720p, 2 credits for 1080p.

  5. Download and publish
