sizzledraft

Show your app in use, straight from its website

Sizzledraft turns a mobile app website into a short video ad using real page screenshots and the site's own brand tokens. It captures the interface, features, store rating and pricing, then renders a vertical or horizontal H.264 video with normalised audio.

Opening lines that work here

  • See why users rate this app so highly

    It puts the app's store rating before the feature tour, giving mobile users a concrete reason to keep watching.

  • Here is the app solving the task in seconds

    It leads with the product interface and the specific job the app performs instead of opening on a generic phone mockup.

  • From first tap to finished result

    It frames the ad as a compact app workflow, which helps viewers understand how the interface supports the promised outcome.

How do I turn my app website into a video ad?

Sizzledraft opens your app website in a headless browser, scrolls the page and captures real screenshots from the hero, product interface, feature blocks, store rating and pricing. It uses the site's colours, type and other brand tokens to author a scene that feels connected to the app rather than a generic template. The first video is cut from the website alone, so the page needs to communicate the app's main job clearly. Later videos can accept a prompt, letting you request a different feature emphasis or audience angle. The finished ad can be vertical at 1080x1920 or horizontal at 1920x1080, rendered at 30fps in H.264 with audio normalised to -14 LUFS.

What should an app website show for a stronger ad?

Put the app interface near the top of the page and show a clear sequence, such as choosing an input, completing the core action and seeing the result. A video cut works better when those states are visible in screenshots or product panels, not hidden behind vague feature headings. Place the store rating close to the relevant proof and label its source clearly on the page. If pricing matters to the install decision, keep the plan names and main limits readable without requiring tiny comparison tables. Long landing pages benefit from distinct sections with specific headings because the cut can identify the hero, strongest workflow, rating and price more reliably. Repeated feature grids make section picking harder and can cause the ad to drag.

Can the video use a trending sound for an app campaign?

Sizzledraft can hand over a link to a trending sound so you can attach it natively when publishing the app ad. The sound is not baked into the exported file because platforms do not treat embedded audio as use of that native sound. This approach leaves the H.264 video ready for you to pair with the linked track inside the publishing flow. The rendered audio is normalised to -14 LUFS, giving you a consistent reference version while you review the pacing and scene changes. Check that the opening interface action, store rating and final install message still read clearly with the native track attached. A popular sound cannot fix a slow opening caused by scrolling through several app features before showing the product.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can scroll the full mobile app marketing page and capture the hero, interface previews, feature sections, store rating and pricing. On long pages, the strongest sections need picking so weaker feature blocks do not slow the cut or bury the app workflow.

The common mistake

A common mistake is opening with a long scroll through every app feature before showing the interface or store rating. Fix it by leading with one recognisable in-app action, following with the rating as proof, and keeping only the sections that support that install reason.

  • Static app store screenshots do not show how the interface flows from one task to the next.
  • Store ratings and review proof often sit too far down the marketing page to appear in a quick screen recording.
  • Long app landing pages contain too many features, causing an unfocused cut that reaches the main benefit too late.

Questions

Will the ad show my app in use?
It can show the app states and workflows that appear on your website. The browser captures real interface screenshots, product panels and feature demonstrations from the page, then uses them in the scene. If the site only shows a logo and abstract illustrations, the video cannot invent a credible in-app workflow that is not present.
How should I handle a long app marketing page?
Choose the sections that support one install reason: usually the hero, one clear app workflow, the store rating and the most relevant pricing detail. Including every feature grid makes the cut feel like a compressed page scroll. A focused section order helps the viewer understand the app before the final call to install.
Can I request a different feature for the next app ad?
Yes. The first video is cut from the app website alone, while later videos accept a prompt. You can ask the next cut to focus on a particular workflow, user type or feature, provided the website contains visuals and copy that support that angle. The prompt guides selection but does not replace missing product evidence.
What does Sizzledraft cost for app video ads?
Two videos cost $19. The monthly option costs $39 for eight videos. For an app team, the second format can support separate cuts for different website features, store campaigns or audiences, while keeping each ad grounded in the interface, rating and claims already shown on the app's site.
