How To Turn a Photo or Script Into an Instagram Ad

Step 1: Choose Your Format

A video ad for Reels and Stories, or a static ad with the AI Poster Maker for feed posts. Video tends to outperform static on Reels and Stories specifically, since that's what the format rewards.

Step 2: Brief It And Give Notes

Describe what you're selling and who it's for, add a product photo or logo, then shape the hook and scenes by chatting with Ori, OpenArt's built-in assistant, until it feels right. Set the aspect ratio before generating too: 9:16 for Reels/Stories, 4:5 or square for feed, to avoid a crop that cuts off text or motion later.

Step 3: Cut Your Version

Review the ad, export, and spin variants by hook or audience, or route it through AI Influencer for the same on-camera presenter across a campaign. Reusing one persona also makes a series of ads feel like one account instead of unrelated clips.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Instagram video ad maker (also called an Instagram video ad generator) turns a brief into a finished video ad sized for Reels, Stories, or feed, instead of a static image. It's the same brief-notes-cut process OpenArt uses for Facebook video ads (no template picker, three steps: describe the ad, refine it by chat with Ori, then export), pointed at Instagram's placements specifically. If you want an AI-generated spokesperson for recurring content, the AI Influencer feature keeps the same on-camera "face" across multiple ads instead of generating a different presenter each time. If a placement calls for a static image instead of video, the AI Poster Maker covers that case separately.
Yes. Start with a static image (AI-generated or uploaded), then use our video suite to add motion, camera moves, or scene transitions. Export as MP4 in 9:16 or 1:1 for Stories and Reels.
Vertical (9:16) for Reels and Stories, square or 4:5 for feed posts. Set this before generating, since re-cropping an AI video after the fact often cuts off key motion or text.
Be specific: include product details, lighting (soft, studio, golden hour), angle (overhead, 45°), and style references. Use the image-to-video tool to add subtle motion (panning or zoom) so the ad feels alive instead of static.
You describe your product in text, upload a reference image, or pick a template. OpenArt's AI generates the visual, then converts it into a video ad with motion, transitions, and optional music. Export it for Instagram feed or Stories.
OpenArt offers free credits to start. You can generate images and short videos without a subscription. Paid plans unlock higher resolution, longer videos, and faster rendering.
Product shots on clean backgrounds, lifestyle scenes (skincare on a marble counter, coffee on a wood table), before-and-after clips, text overlays on motion graphics, and carousel stills. If you can describe it, the AI can render it.
Yes, that's what the AI Influencer feature is for: a consistent AI persona you can reuse across a campaign instead of generating a different face every time.
