Does the video use real screenshots from my Shopify store?

Yes. A headless browser visits the live storefront and captures the product grid, product page, cart and reviews block. The scenes use those screenshots alongside brand tokens taken from the site, so the ad reflects the products, interface, colours and typography shoppers actually encounter.

Can I choose which Shopify product the ad features?

The first video is cut from the store alone, so the product hierarchy and visible storefront content guide the edit. Later videos accept a prompt, which can identify a particular product, collection, offer or angle. Keep the requested product published, in stock and accessible from the supplied storefront URL.

What video file does a Shopify ad receive?

The video is rendered frame by frame at 30fps and delivered in H.264. Vertical output is 1080x1920, while horizontal output is 1920x1080. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS, providing a consistent level before the file is uploaded to an advertising or social platform.

Can a trending sound be included in my Shopify ad?

A trending sound is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively when publishing the Shopify product ad. It is not baked into the rendered file, because baked-in audio does not count as using that platform sound. The supplied video can still include scored, normalised audio.

Make a video ad from your Shopify storefront

Sizzledraft turns a Shopify store URL into a short video ad using real screenshots of its product grid, product pages, cart and reviews. It scrolls through the storefront to load product images, builds scenes from the store’s own brand tokens and renders the finished video frame by frame.

How do I turn my Shopify store into a video ad?

Provide the Shopify storefront URL. Sizzledraft opens the store in a headless browser, scrolls the collection page so lazy-loaded product images can appear, and captures the product grid, product page, cart and reviews block. It then uses the store’s colours, type and other brand tokens to author a scene around those real screenshots. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the storefront needs to communicate the product clearly without extra instructions. Later videos can accept a prompt for a particular product, offer or angle. The finished ad can be vertical at 1080x1920 or horizontal at 1920x1080, rendered at 30fps in H.264.

What should a Shopify product video ad show?

A useful Shopify ad should move through the same evidence a shopper uses before buying. Start with a strong product image from the collection grid or product page, then show the detail that makes the item worth considering. Follow with a relevant reviews block and finish on the cart or a clear buying action. Avoid squeezing every variant, feature and collection into one cut. A short ad needs one product focus and one path to purchase. Sizzledraft captures real storefront screens, so prices, product names, imagery and review content come from the live store rather than a recreated mock-up. Check that the featured product is in stock and that its main image, description and reviews are visible before generating the video.

Will lazy-loaded Shopify images appear in the video?

Sizzledraft runs a scroll pass before taking screenshots because many Shopify themes load collection and product images only when they approach the browser viewport. This gives lazy-loaded images a chance to render before the product grid and product page are captured. Results still depend on the storefront. An age gate, newsletter pop-up, region selector, slow image app or custom theme animation can cover content or postpone loading. Before creating the ad, open the store in a private browser window and scroll through the same pages a new shopper would see. Close or simplify intrusive overlays, confirm that product images load without account access, and make sure the reviews block appears on the page rather than only after an unusual interaction.

What the browser actually gets

The browser captures the Shopify product grid, an individual product page, the cart and the reviews block as they appear on the live storefront. Because many Shopify themes lazy-load product images, it performs a scroll pass before capture, though images delayed by apps, pop-ups or unusual theme scripts can still require attention.

The common mistake

A common mistake is showing a rapid sequence of unrelated products from the Shopify grid, which leaves viewers unsure what to buy. Feature one product, support it with its product page and reviews, then finish with the cart action.
