Frequently asked questions
The basics
Is AiAdvo really free?
Yes. Making and downloading video ads is free, with no signup and no watermark, including ✨ AI Scenes: an AI-written ad with custom AI images and an AI voice (up to a daily limit). Premium engines are coming soon: an AI narrator over stock footage, AI-filmed footage, and realistic AI presenters. Those cost us money each time they run, so they'll use credits.
How do premium credits work?
You buy a pack of credits ($5 for 50, $12 for 130, or $30 for 350) through Stripe's secure checkout. One credit is worth 10 cents, and each premium engine shows its price before you start. Credits never expire, and any AI clip that fails gives its credits back. There's no account: your credits live under a credit code in your browser, which you can copy to use on another device.
Can I make ads in other languages?
Yes. Pick a language under Customize the look. The AI writes your ad in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Arabic, Vietnamese or Tagalog. The free AI voice speaks English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. For other languages, the free ad has captions and music, and the premium narrator speaks them all.
How do I make an ad?
- Describe your business in the box: its name, what makes it great, any deal, and your website or phone.
- Add photos or short phone videos if you have them (optional).
- Click 🎬 Make my video. Try 🎲 Remix for a different style, then ⬇ Export to download it.
Does it work for online stores?
Yes. Say "online store" (or mention Shopify, Etsy or shipping) in your description, or pick Online business under "Edit business details." The ad then talks about shopping online instead of visiting a location.
Do I need an account?
No. Just open the page and start typing.
How long does it take?
The ad is ready in a few seconds. Exporting records the video in real time, so a 15-second ad takes about 15 seconds.
Privacy
Do my photos get uploaded?
No. Your video is drawn and recorded inside your own browser, so your photos and logo never leave your device.
What happens to the text I type?
With the free animated template, it stays in your browser. With ✨ AI Scenes or a premium engine, your description and the ad's lines are sent to the AI services that write, illustrate and voice your ad, and we don't save any of it. The Privacy Policy has the full list.
Your video
What video file do I get?
An MP4 in Chrome, Edge and Safari, or a WebM in Firefox. Both upload fine to TikTok, YouTube and Facebook. For Instagram, MP4 is safest, so use Chrome, Edge or Safari.
Which size should I pick?
- Vertical 9:16: TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, Stories
- Square 1:1: Instagram and Facebook feed posts
- Wide 16:9: YouTube videos and your own website
Can I change the words?
Yes. After you click "Make my video", every scene's headline and text appears under the preview. Edit anything and the video updates right away. You can also change each scene's layout (split screen, collage, big number and more).
Can I add a mascot, captions or effects?
Yes, under Customize the look: TikTok-style word-by-word captions, five cartoon mascots that wave and talk, confetti and emoji, music, sound effects and color looks. All of it is free.
Why did my export stutter?
Browsers slow down tabs you're not looking at. Keep the AiAdvo tab in front until the download button appears.
Can I use the ad commercially?
Yes. The ad is yours to post and use for your business. Stock footage comes from Pexels, whose license allows commercial use, and the music is generated by AiAdvo itself. See the Terms.
Still stuck?
