Show your app in use from its store page

Sizzledraft turns an App Store listing into a short video ad using the app icon, product screenshots, rating and description found on the page. It builds branded scenes around that material, renders each frame and adds normalised audio.

Opening lines that work here

  • See why users rated this app so highly

    It connects visible store rating evidence with an immediate demonstration of the app.

  • Here is what happens after you tap Download

    It moves viewers from the App Store decision point into a clear preview of the product experience.

  • Three screens that explain this app

    It promises a compact walkthrough built around the portrait screenshots already supplied for the listing.

How do I turn my App Store page into a video ad?

Give Sizzledraft the App Store URL. A headless browser opens the listing and captures the app icon, product screenshots, visible rating and description. The first video is cut from that page alone, so the listing needs to explain the app clearly without extra direction. Sizzledraft uses the captured material and the page's visual tokens to author the scenes, then renders the video frame by frame with scored audio. Portrait store screenshots already suit a vertical sequence, allowing the ad to move through the interface without forcing wide crops. Later videos can accept a prompt, which lets you focus on a particular feature, user task or store message while keeping the listing assets as the visual source.

What should an app video ad show first?

Start with the app in use, not a long logo introduction. Lead with the screenshot that makes the core task easiest to understand, then support it with the store rating once viewers know what they are looking at. For a budgeting app, that might be a spending summary followed by the rating. For a photo editor, it might be the edited result followed by the tool screen. Keep each interface view large enough to read on a phone. The app icon can establish identity, but it should not take the time needed to show the product. A strong first three seconds gives viewers a recognisable outcome, a clear screen and one short line tied to the job the app performs.

Which video format works with App Store screenshots?

Vertical video is rendered at 1080x1920, while horizontal video is 1920x1080. Both run at 30fps and are delivered as H.264 files. App Store screenshots that already use a portrait 9:16 layout fit especially well in vertical scenes because the interface can remain tall, centred and readable. Avoid placing several full screenshots side by side, since controls and labels quickly become too small on a mobile feed. A better sequence gives each key screen its own moment and uses the listing description to explain the action. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS. If you choose a trending sound, Sizzledraft hands it over as a link so you can attach it natively instead of baking it into the video file.

What the browser actually gets

The browser captures the app icon, store screenshots, visible rating and listing description from the App Store page. Portrait store screenshots often fit a 9:16 video cleanly, though text inside screenshots can become hard to read when several screens appear at once or when the listing uses dense interface captures.

The common mistake

A common mistake is shrinking several App Store screenshots into one scene until the interface becomes unreadable. Give each important screen its own beat, keep the primary action large and use the rating only after viewers understand what the app does.

  • Turning static App Store screenshots into a clear sequence that shows how the app works
  • Making the store rating readable without letting it compete with the product demonstration
  • Reformatting listing assets into a paced video while preserving important interface details

Questions

Can Sizzledraft make the first video from only my App Store URL?
Yes. The first video is cut from the App Store listing alone. The browser captures the icon, screenshots, visible rating and description, then uses those materials to build the scenes. Make sure the listing screenshots show the app's core task clearly, because there is no added prompt for that first cut.
Will my portrait App Store screenshots fit a vertical ad?
Portrait store screenshots often fit the 1080x1920 vertical canvas cleanly, especially when they are already composed near 9:16. The interface can stay large while the video moves from one screen to the next. Dense labels may still need careful pacing so viewers have enough time to read them.
How should the App Store rating appear in the video?
Use the visible rating as supporting evidence after the ad establishes what the app does. Keep it legible and present it in the context captured from the listing. Do not let a rating card replace the product demonstration. Viewers still need to see the interface and understand the outcome the app provides.
Can I use a trending sound with the app video?
Yes. The sound is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively when publishing the video. It is not baked into the exported file, because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound on the platform. Rendered audio is otherwise normalised to -14 LUFS.
