Will the video use my actual portfolio projects?

Yes. Sizzledraft captures real screenshots from the accessible portfolio URL you provide and authors scenes around the site's own colours, typography and interface details. It works best when case studies have clear headings, large project screens and pages that load without passwords, overlays or required account access.

Which format should a web designer choose?

Choose 1080x1920 vertical for short-form feeds and 1920x1080 horizontal for portfolio embeds, presentations or wider ad placements. Both render at 30fps in H.264. Pick the format based on where prospects will watch, then check that project details remain readable at that aspect ratio.

Can I request a video focused on fast delivery?

The first video is cut from your portfolio site alone. Later videos accept a prompt, so you can ask for a version focused on turnaround, rapid landing-page delivery or a defined design process. The video should only repeat timelines or service claims that your portfolio can support.

How does audio work for a portfolio ad?

The rendered audio is normalised to -14 LUFS for consistent playback. If you want a trending sound, Sizzledraft hands it over as a link so you can attach it natively on the publishing platform. Baking that sound into the exported file would not count as using the platform's sound.

Show your web design work in motion

Sizzledraft turns a web designer's portfolio URL into a short video ad using real screenshots, site typography, colours and interface details. The finished video helps prospective clients see the quality of your work and understand how quickly you can deliver.

How can I turn my web design portfolio into a video ad?

Submit the URL of your web design portfolio or a focused case study. Sizzledraft drives a browser through the page, captures real screens and builds scenes using the typography, colours and visual details already present on the site. The first video is cut from the site alone, so clear project headings, strong desktop or mobile views and concise service copy help shape the story. Later videos can follow a prompt, such as leading with a redesign reveal or stressing a two-week turnaround. Export vertically at 1080x1920 for short-form placements or horizontally at 1920x1080 for wider placements. Both formats render at 30fps in H.264, ready to show actual portfolio work rather than substitute stock footage.

What should a web designer show in the first few seconds?

Lead with the strongest finished page, not your logo animation or a list of design services. A prospective client needs to see the standard of your work immediately. Start on a clear homepage hero, a distinctive ecommerce layout or a sharp before-and-after transition, then move into supporting details such as mobile screens, navigation and calls to action. If turnaround is the selling point, pair the first reveal with a precise line already supported by your page, such as a stated delivery window or a compact process. Avoid opening on a crowded portfolio grid because each project becomes too small to judge. One strong site at readable scale gives viewers a reason to watch the next project.

Can a portfolio video help sell faster turnaround?

Yes, when the sequence makes your process easy to understand without claiming a delivery speed your site does not support. A video can move from brief or wireframe language into polished desktop and mobile pages, then close on your enquiry call to action. This gives prospective clients a compact view of what reaches the finish line and how organised the work appears. Keep project names, services and timelines readable long enough to register. If your portfolio states a turnaround, feature it beside the finished result rather than as an unsupported opening claim. The first cut uses only the site, while later cuts can follow a prompt that prioritises rapid launches, fixed-scope landing pages or another service your portfolio actually offers.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture visible portfolio pages, project imagery, typography, colours, navigation and responsive page sections from accessible URLs. It can struggle with password-protected case studies, consent overlays, delayed animations, embedded prototypes and projects shown only inside flattened mockup images.

The common mistake

A common mistake is shrinking an entire portfolio grid into the opening shot, which makes every project impossible to assess. Fix it by leading with one finished website at readable scale, then cut to two or three details that demonstrate range and delivery.

Static portfolio thumbnails hide the scrolling, responsive layouts and interface details that make a web design project convincing.
Recording and editing several client sites takes time away from proposals, revisions and billable design work.
A generic template can make distinct portfolio projects look alike and weaken the visual identity a designer worked to create.
