Turn Product Images Into Eye-catching Ads With Image to Video

You probably paid more attention to the cool pictures in a video ad than to the product itself if you’ve ever been on social media. People are much more likely to watch a short video than read a long piece of text in today’s fast-paced online world. This means that making interesting and moving videos out of your still product photos is no longer just a “nice-to-have”, it’s quickly becoming a necessary part of modern marketing.

You can use Pippit AI’s Image to Video tool to make beautiful videos from still pictures without spending a lot of money on production or hours editing. This tool lets you create ads that look professional and grab people’s attention right away—whether you sell skincare products, tech gadgets, or handmade crafts. If you’ve only been posting static content, this could be the missing piece in your content strategy.

Pippit also has a video cutter tool that lets you edit your videos even more if you’ve ever had to shorten them before posting.

Why videos work better than still pictures

Static pictures are nice, but they have limitations. Videos, on the other hand, tell a story. They let you show off your product’s features, demonstrate how it works, and create a sense of movement that naturally draws the viewer’s attention.

For example:

A still image shows what a coffee cup looks like.

A 10-second video ad with the same mug steaming with fresh coffee and slowly rotating with text over it sets the mood and creates an experience.

You can take your ads to the next level by using smart editing tools like Image to Video to add effects, transitions, music, and captions. The best part? You don’t need a degree in video editing to use it.

How switching from pictures to videos changes your marketing

You don’t have to spend hours with traditional editing software or hire a videographer. Just upload your product photos to Pippit AI. The AI does the rest – selecting images, arranging scenes, adding smooth transitions, and making everything look professional.

Some companies are already using image to video ads in these ways:

• Making Instagram Reels from product catalog photos

• Turning e-commerce product images into short Facebook ads

• Creating themed TikTok videos from seasonal product pictures

• Designing banner ads with subtle motion elements to get more clicks

This approach not only makes your ads look better but also speeds up content creation, allowing you to run more campaigns without going over budget.

How to use the Image to Video tool in Pippit AI (step-by-step)

Step 1: Add your pictures

After signing up or logging into Pippit, go to the “Video Generator” tab and then the media upload section. You can either click “Add Media” to upload photos from your device or cloud storage, or paste a product URL into the box. Then, click “Generate” to let the AI find pictures and create your video automatically.

Step 2: Make and change

When you upload your media or link, Pippit automatically selects clips and important product details to show you a preview. Review and edit the descriptions, highlights, and visuals. Then choose your preferred video type and adjust settings like voice, AI avatar, aspect ratio, language, and length. Click “Generate” to create your video.

Step 3: Send the video out

Preview your video to check quality. Select “Quick Edit” (below the video) to tweak the voice, avatar, caption style, and script. Test a few variations to see which works best. For more advanced changes, click “Edit More.” When you’re happy with the result, click “Export” to get your high-resolution video for sharing on social media or using in marketing campaigns.

Smart ways to use image-to-video ads on different platforms

The best thing about video ads made from still images is their flexibility. Here’s how to get the most out of them:

• Instagram & TikTok: Create short, engaging videos with trending music and styles

• Facebook Ads: Replace static images with videos to get more impressions and clicks
