Which website photos work best for a painter’s TikTok ad?

Use high-resolution before-and-after photographs taken from similar positions, plus close-ups of cutting-in, woodwork, wallpaper joins and smooth repaired surfaces. Include at least one image showing protected floors or a clean handover. Wide room shots help establish the project, but vertical or tightly framed details usually survive the 1080x1920 crop better.

Can the ad show that I leave customers’ homes tidy?

Yes, if the website provides visible evidence or clear wording. Photographs of covered furniture, protected flooring, organised tools and the finished room without dust sheets or waste give the video useful proof. A short caption can connect those images to careful preparation and a room left ready to use.

Will the video use stock footage of painting work?

The first video is cut from the website alone, using real screenshots and the visual material available on its pages. That keeps the featured rooms, paint finishes and decorating services tied to the actual business. If important work is missing from the site, add suitable project images there before capture.

What export format do I receive for TikTok?

The vertical video is 1080x1920, rendered at 30fps and exported in H.264. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS. If you plan to use a trending TikTok sound, attach it natively through the supplied link rather than relying on music already baked into the exported file.

Show clean lines and spotless handovers on TikTok

Sizzledraft turns a painter and decorator website into a vertical 1080x1920 TikTok ad using real screenshots, colours and details from the site. The video focuses on finish quality, careful preparation and tidiness, then renders at 30fps in H.264 with audio normalised to -14 LUFS.

Opening lines that work here

No paint on the sockets. No dust on the floor.
It names two details homeowners use to judge whether a painter and decorator will work carefully in their home.
Look closely at that cutting-in.
A close inspection directs attention to the clean edge where professional finish quality is easiest to recognise.
Fresh walls, protected floors, room ready to use.
It combines the visible result with the tidy handover that matters to homeowners choosing a decorator.

How do painters make a good TikTok ad from their website?

Start with the proof a homeowner can judge quickly: a rough wall before preparation, a close view of smooth paintwork, a sharp line around trim, and a clean room at handover. Sizzledraft drives a browser through the painter and decorator website, captures real page screenshots, and builds the first video from that site alone. It uses the site’s colours and visual styling so the ad feels connected to the business rather than assembled from unrelated stock clips. The finished ad is vertical 1080x1920, rendered at 30fps in H.264. Later videos can take a prompt, such as focusing on exterior masonry, wallpaper hanging, kitchen spraying or dust-free preparation.

What should a decorating ad show in the first three seconds?

Show one detail that resolves a homeowner’s main concern before introducing the full room. That could be crisp cutting-in beside a ceiling, an unmarked socket on a freshly painted wall, covered flooring during preparation, or a spotless skirting board after handover. These details communicate finish quality and tidiness faster than a list of services. Use a short line that tells viewers where to look, then move from close-up proof to the completed room. Avoid opening with a logo on its own. On TikTok, the first frames need to make the decorating result clear even before the viewer has decided whether to keep watching or turn the sound on.

Can I use a trending TikTok sound with the finished ad?

Yes, but the trending sound should be attached inside TikTok rather than baked into the exported video. Sizzledraft can hand over the relevant sound as a link so you can select it natively when posting. This matters because a music track mixed into the file does not count as using that sound on the platform. The rendered ad can still include scored audio, normalised to -14 LUFS, for versions posted elsewhere or used without a trend. For a painter and decorator, choose a sound that supports the pace of preparation, close-up finish details and the final tidy reveal. Do not let the sound overpower evidence of careful work or make the room transformation feel rushed.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture real project galleries, before-and-after images, service lists, colour palettes, logos and written details about preparation or clean-up. It struggles when finished-room photos are hidden inside sliders, loaded only after interaction, supplied at low resolution or composed too widely for a vertical crop.

The common mistake

A common mistake is showing only a fast whole-room transformation, which hides the preparation and clean edges that distinguish careful decorating. Fix it by opening on one close finish detail, showing floor or furniture protection, and ending with a wide shot of the tidy completed room.

Before-and-after photos show the colour change but often hide the sharp cutting-in, smooth surfaces and careful preparation that justify hiring a professional.
A cluttered room, uncovered flooring or paint tins left in frame can make an otherwise good decorating job look careless on TikTok.
Landscape project galleries and wide room photographs are difficult to crop into a vertical ad without losing the finished walls, woodwork or clean edges.
