Show your app in use, not just its icon

Sizzledraft turns a mobile app landing page into a short video ad using real page screenshots, brand tokens, proof such as a displayed store rating and one install CTA. The first video is cut from the site alone, while later videos can follow a prompt.

Opening lines that work here

  • Your next download starts with this screen

    It connects a visible app screen directly to the developer's install goal.

  • See why users rated this app so highly

    It makes the displayed store rating the reason to keep watching.

  • One app screen. One reason to install.

    It turns limited landing page footage into a deliberate, focused promise.

How do I make a video ad from my app landing page?

Give Sizzledraft the URL of your app landing page. A headless browser drives the page and captures the real hero, app interface, visible rating or review proof and the strongest install CTA. The scene uses the site's own colours, type and other brand tokens instead of inventing a separate visual identity. It then renders the ad frame by frame at 30fps in H.264, with vertical output at 1080x1920 or horizontal output at 1920x1080. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the landing page needs a clear product screen and one obvious action. Later videos accept a prompt when you want to emphasise a particular feature, audience or use case.

What should an app landing page show before I turn it into an ad?

Lead with a product screen that makes the app's job understandable without a tap or voiceover. Keep the app name, main benefit and store badge close enough to capture in the hero, then place the strongest proof nearby. If you show a store rating, make the number and store context legible rather than burying them inside a dense review carousel. Choose one CTA, such as downloading the app, and reduce competing links around it. A page with several distinct interface states gives the cut more visual progression. If the page only shows one phone mockup, concise feature headings and strong brand typography matter more because the video cannot manufacture additional in-app footage from screens that are not present.

Can a one-screen app landing page make a useful video ad?

Yes, but the edit must treat the single screen as evidence rather than endless footage. The cut can begin with the app's clearest benefit, move into the visible interface, introduce the displayed store rating as proof and finish on one download CTA. Crops, scale changes and typographic beats can create progression while keeping the captured app screen accurate. The limitation is variety: one screenshot cannot demonstrate several workflows or imply interactions that the page never shows. Add separate, readable screens to the landing page if distinct app states are essential to the pitch. Audio is scored for the scene and normalised to -14 LUFS. When a trending sound is relevant, it is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively.

What the browser actually gets

The browser captures the app landing page's hero, visible product screen, proof such as a store rating and a single install CTA. When the page contains only one meaningful screen, the cut has little new footage to reveal, so motion, pacing and brand typography carry more of the video.

The common mistake

A common mistake is filling the ad with every feature listed on the app landing page, leaving the interface and store rating too small to read. Fix it by showing one product moment, one piece of rating proof and one install CTA.

  • A static landing page rarely shows enough app interaction to sustain a full video cut.
  • Store ratings and review proof can become unreadable when squeezed into a vertical ad.
  • Multiple download badges, feature claims and navigation links compete with the install CTA.

Questions

Will the video show my real app interface?
It shows the app interface that is actually visible on your landing page. The browser captures real page screenshots rather than inventing screens. If an important onboarding step, dashboard or result view is absent from the page, it cannot become genuine product footage in the first site-only cut.
How is my store rating used in the ad?
If the landing page visibly presents a store rating, the cut can use it as proof between the product benefit and install CTA. Keep the rating large, readable and clearly tied to its store context. A tiny badge or rating hidden in a carousel may not remain legible in vertical video.
What video format will I receive?
Vertical videos render at 1080x1920 and horizontal videos at 1920x1080. Both run at 30fps and use H.264. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS. Trending sounds are supplied as links for native attachment because baking the track into the exported file does not register as using that sound.
How much does it cost to make app ads?
The available options are $19 for two videos or $39 per month for eight. The first video is authored from the app landing page alone. For later videos, you can add a prompt to focus the cut on a feature, user problem or store proof already supported by the page.
