How do you make an AI video for Shopify product pages?

Use image-to-video on your existing product photos. Output at 1:1 (1080×1080) for the product gallery or 9:16 for product hero sections. Keep clips 6–10 seconds and loopable. Prompt only motion (rotation, pour, slow zoom), not the scene. One clip per product image takes about 5 minutes per generation.

  • Image-to-video on your real product photos.
  • 1:1 for gallery, 9:16 for hero sections.
  • 6–10s loopable clips.
  • Prompt motion only — the scene is your photo.

Why product-page videos lift conversion

Shopify's own data and most CRO studies show 20–80% conversion lift when a static product image is replaced with a short looping video. The video does not need to be long; it needs to show the product in motion or in context.

The simplest production workflow

Take your best product photo. Upload to an image-to-video tool. Prompt: 'slow 360 rotation, soft studio light, gentle camera push-in.' Generate 6 seconds. Loop in CapCut. Export at the Shopify-recommended size. Embed in product gallery.
