Getting started

Make your first ad in a few minutes: from a short brief to a storyboard to a finished video.

Create your account

Sign up with your email address and confirm it with the link we send you. Your free trial includes 3 ads of up to 30 seconds each, no card needed.

Describe your ad

Open New ad and describe what the ad is about in one or two sentences: what you sell, who it's for and what you want people to do. Then choose:

• Brand: the brand profile with your logo, colors, font and voice.
• Media: photos, videos or banners from your library. Short on material? Reelamo can fill gaps with free stock footage or AI images.
• Concept: a creative approach such as problem and solution or a customer story, or Surprise me to let Reelamo choose.
• Length and formats: from 6 to 60 seconds, in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9.

Review the storyboard

After about 15 seconds you get a storyboard: the script, the voiceover per scene, the text on screen and the images. Storyboards are free, so try a few.

Change any line, swap an image, reorder or remove scenes, or pick a different layout. The preview shows the ad without voice; in the final video the timing follows the recorded voiceover.

Render and download

Happy with the storyboard? Click Render video. Rendering takes about a minute, and we can email you when it's done. You then download an MP4 per format, ready to upload to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn or your ad manager.

Want to change something afterwards? Edit the storyboard and render a new version. New versions don't use up your monthly ads.

Where to go next

• Variations and concepts: make several different ads from one brief.
• Review links: get approval from a client before you publish.
• Team and roles: work together in one workspace.
