Will the Reels ad show my app actually being used?

It shows the app in use when your app store listing or landing page contains clear interface screenshots or product demonstrations. The browser captures those real page assets and sequences them as a workflow. It cannot invent screens hidden inside the installed app, so include the key user journey on the source page.

How is my app's store rating used in the video?

If the rating is visible on the captured page, it can appear as supporting evidence beside the app name or interface. The edit should not imply a rating that the page does not show. Keep it readable, current and secondary to the screen sequence that demonstrates what the mobile app does.

What video file do I get for Instagram Reels?

The vertical video is rendered at 1080x1920, 30fps and encoded as H.264. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS. This format matches a full-screen Reels layout, while the composition keeps important interface details and the install cue away from crowded edges where Instagram places controls.

Can I request a different feature for the next app ad?

Yes. The first video is cut from the app page alone, using the features and screens available there. Later videos accept a prompt, so you can ask for an edit centred on onboarding, a paid feature, a specific workflow or a different audience while still using real source-page material.

Make Reels ads from your app page

sizzledraft turns a mobile app URL into a vertical Instagram Reels ad using real screenshots, the page's brand tokens and details such as the store rating. It renders the video at 1080x1920 and 30fps, ready for developers to publish with an install-focused caption and native trending sound.

How do I turn my app store page into an Instagram Reels ad?

Give sizzledraft the public URL for your app store listing or mobile app landing page. The browser visits that page and captures real interface screenshots, the app icon, visible store rating, feature text and brand colours. It then arranges those elements into a 1080x1920 sequence that fits Instagram Reels, with the strongest app screen appearing early and the install action kept readable. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the source page should already show the main workflow and current rating. Later videos can accept a prompt, letting you focus the edit on a particular feature, such as scanning receipts, planning workouts or tracking subscriptions.

What should an Instagram Reels ad show for a mobile app?

Show the app doing one useful job from start to finish. Open with the result or the most recognisable screen, then move through the few interface states needed to explain how a user gets there. If the store rating is visible on the source page, use it as supporting proof after viewers understand the task the app performs. Keep labels large enough for a phone display and avoid presenting several unrelated features in one short edit. A budgeting app should show a transaction becoming a category or chart, while a photo editor should show the image before and after a specific adjustment. End with the app icon, name and a direct install cue.

Can I use trending sounds in a Reels ad for my app?

Yes, but attach the trending sound inside Instagram when you publish the Reel. sizzledraft hands over the sound as a link instead of baking it into the H.264 video, because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound natively. The rendered soundtrack is scored to the visual sequence and normalised to -14 LUFS, giving you a consistent reference while reviewing the cut. Before posting, open the supplied sound link, add that sound through Instagram and check how its beat lines up with interface changes, the store rating and the install frame. This approach preserves the platform's native sound association while keeping the app demonstration clear.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser can capture the app page, visible store rating, device screenshots, feature copy, icons, colours and typography. It works best when the page shows the interface clearly, but it can struggle with sign-in walls, region-specific store content, consent overlays and app interactions that exist only inside the installed product.

The common mistake

A common mistake is shrinking an entire app screen into the Reel and expecting viewers to read every label. Fix it by focusing each shot on one interface action, enlarging the relevant area and placing the store rating only after the app's value is clear.
