Video ads built from your product photos, no filming needed
Most shops already own the only assets an ad needs: clean product shots. This turns them into a moving sequence with type, prices and a call to action. Pick it for catalogs, new arrivals and sales, where showing several items matters more than shooting new footage.

How to make it work
How photos become a video here
Upload the images, then say in the brief which products to feature, in what order, and what text goes with each: name, price, a short benefit. The studio plans the sequence, quotes the credits, and composes and renders once you approve. Paste your website URL to match brand colors, fonts and logo, and add your own music or ask for a track. Photos can be given slow moves so the ad does not feel static.
Design rules for photo-led ads
Use images with room around the product so type has somewhere to sit, and keep backgrounds consistent across the set so the cuts feel deliberate. Give each product two to three seconds, enough to register the name and price. Put the price where it will not collide with feed overlays, keep one item per frame in vertical, and make sure any move across a photo is slow enough not to reveal soft edges.
Where it runs and what to export
Photo ads work in Instagram and Facebook feeds and Reels, TikTok, Pinterest, Shopify and Etsy listings, Amazon product pages and email campaigns. Square suits product pages and feeds; vertical suits Reels and Stories. Ten to 30 seconds covers three to six products. Export is H.264 MP4 with AAC audio at 30 fps, plus a PNG poster from any frame to use as the listing image.
A brief you can paste
Paste this into the studio chat, or change the names and numbers first.
Twenty-second 1:1 ad for Wren Kitchenware. I uploaded eight product photos and the logo. Feature six pans in this order with name and price on each, slow zoom on every shot, brand colors from wrenkitchen.example. Open with New cast iron range and end with Free delivery this week plus the website. English narration, upbeat music, subtitles on.
Questions people ask
How many photos should I upload?
Enough for two to three seconds each: roughly five images for a 15-second cut and up to a dozen for 30 seconds. Upload extras and say in the brief which ones matter most, so the studio has room to choose.
Can the studio create product images for me?
No. It does not generate photoreal footage or photography, so the product shots have to be yours. It can build everything around them from text, shapes, gradients, your logo and brand colors.
Can prices be added to each photo?
Yes. Give the price with each product in the brief and it is laid in as a text or price tag layer. Keep it clear of feed overlays so it is not covered on Reels or Stories.
