Your clips in, a finished ad out
Upload the footage you already have, say what the ad should do, and get a cut back that is ready for the account. Captions burned in, ratios correct, no editing pass needed.
Three inputs, one finished cut
Add your footage
Public video URLs go straight in. Files on your machine upload through a link. Anything you have already shot is usable.
Describe the ad
The offer, the angle, the audience, the length. Pick a voice and a caption style, or leave them to us.
Collect the cut
Rendering takes minutes, not days. You get the MP4 and the still frames, ready to upload.
What comes back
Correct ratios
9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 from the same brief, cut for the placement rather than cropped after the fact.
Captions burned in
Readable on mute, inside the safe zone, in a style that matches the brand.
Voiceover or no voiceover
Pick a voice, use your own, or run it music-only.
Music that clears
Licensed tracks, swapped in a click if the first one does not fit.
Still frames
Frames pulled from the cut, usable as statics and thumbnails.
One brief, many cuts
Send the same brief through again with a different angle instead of starting over.
When to reach for this one
Instant Ads is the right tool when you already have footage and no time. Product clips from a previous shoot, phone video from the warehouse, creator content you have licence to reuse, B-roll that never got cut into anything.
It is the wrong tool when you have no footage at all. In that case start with Real User Ads from a product photo, or clone an ad that is already working.
Questions, answered.
How long does a render take?
Usually 5 to 15 minutes.
What footage can I use?
Anything you have the rights to use. Public video URLs can be added directly; local files upload through a link.
Can I change the cut after it renders?
Yes. You can edit the script, swap the voiceover or the music, and change the captions, then render again.
Is there an API?
Yes. Instant ads has an MCP connector, so you can make ads from Claude and other AI assistants. The MCP connector page has the setup steps.
What does one ad cost?
Each ad uses credits from your plan, and how many depends on the ad type. Start on the free plan to see the output before you pay anything.
