Key Takeaway
The URL-to-Video Ad Maker is Creatify's core feature -- paste any product URL (Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay) and get a fully scripted, avatar-driven video ad in minutes.
How It Works
The URL-to-Video Ad Maker scrapes your product page, extracts images, descriptions, and key selling points, then uses AI to generate scripts, select visuals, and produce video ads with AI avatars.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Input Your Product URL
- Click AI Video Ads from the Creatify dashboard
- Paste your product URL (supports Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay, and most e-commerce platforms)
- Click Analyze URL
- Creatify scrapes the page and pulls: product name, description, images, videos, and reviews
Strong Inputs = Strong Outputs
If your product page is weak, your ad will be weak. Before generating, make sure your page has:
- High-quality product images from multiple angles
- Clear, benefit-driven descriptions
- Strong headlines
- Visible customer reviews
- Clean product titles
2. Review and Edit Product Details
- Review the product description -- ensure it aligns with your key selling points
- Examine scraped media -- keep only the best assets, remove unnecessary images
- Upload additional media -- add product demos, lifestyle shots, or video content not found on the page (video demos are particularly effective)
- Add your brand logo -- this will auto-generate a CTA at the end of the video
3. Configure Video Settings
| Setting | Options | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Aspect Ratio | 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 | 9:16 for TikTok/Reels, 1:1 for Instagram feed, 16:9 for YouTube |
| Duration | 15s, 30s, 60s | 15s for Meta platforms, 15-30s for TikTok |
| Language | Multiple | Match your target audience |
| Target Audience | Free text | Specifying this refines the AI script writing and tone |
4. Select a Script
Creatify generates multiple AI scripts using different frameworks:
- Problem/Solution -- Identify a pain point, present your product as the solution
- Three Reasons Why -- List three compelling reasons to buy
- Demonstration -- Show the product in action
- Testimonial style -- Social proof driven narrative
- DIY Script -- Write or paste your own script
Script Enhancement Tips
- Incorporate compelling lines from other generated scripts
- Edit scripts to include or replace lines as needed
- Generate more scripts if none of the initial options fit
- You can use unlimited script generations
5. Choose a Visual Style
Creatify offers 14+ visual styles:
- Green Screen -- Avatar over product footage
- Side by Side / Duet -- Avatar next to product
- Full Screen -- Product fills the frame
- Top and Bottom -- Split screen layout
- Vlog Style -- Casual, UGC-feel
- Twitter Frame -- Social media native look
- Quick Transition -- Fast-paced cuts
- Reaction -- Avatar reacting to product content
6. Select an Avatar and Voice
- Browse 1,500+ realistic AI avatars
- Filter by gender, age, industry, and shooting style
- Match the avatar to your target audience persona
- Choose a voice and accent that fits your brand
- Click Render Audio after any voice changes
7. Preview, Edit, and Render
- Preview the generated video
- Use the editor for fine-tuning (see Editor Basics)
- Hit Render to generate the final video
- Download or launch directly to Meta, TikTok, or AppLovin/Axon
Top 10 Best Practices
- Review product descriptions after scraping to ensure alignment with key selling points

- Specify your target audience to refine AI script tone and messaging
- Enhance scripts by combining the best lines from multiple generated scripts
- Add pauses (0.3-0.5 seconds) at the end of script lines for realistic delivery
- Fix pronunciation of your product name using the pronunciation icon
