By the far the most user friendly software to use.

As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Kapwing is my secret weapon!

This is one of the most powerful, yet inexpensive and easy-to-use video editing software I've found. I blow my team away with how fast and efficiently I can edit and turnaround video projects.

Kapwing is king.

When I use this software, I feel all sorts of creative juices flowing because of how jam-packed with features the software really is. A very well-made product that will keep you enticed for hours.

Love this site.

As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Natasha Ball

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.

[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

This tool should be in every social media account managers' bookmark list.

I use this daily to help with video editing. Even if you're a pro video editor, there is no need to be spending hours trying to get the format correct. Kapwing does the hard work for you.

●Just the FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

What is an AI ad generator?

An AI ad generator is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to create video ads and commercials from a text prompt, script, or product image. While many tools only generate a finished template, Kapwing’s AI Ad Generator lets you fully edit the video afterward using features like avatars, voice cloning, subtitles, and more. It can also function as an AI commercial generator for longer-form branded campaigns.

Is Kapwing's AI ad creator free?

Yes, Kapwing’s AI Ad Generator is free to try without watermarks. However, each video generation costs a different number of credits. A Pro account is recommended to experience the full power of the AI Studio.

Can I translate my ads for global campaigns?

Yes, Kapwing includes automatic subtitles and translation tools so you can localize your ads for international audiences. Translate captions, voice overs, and on-screen text to expand your reach globally.

Can I use my own images, logos, fonts, colors, and footage?

Yes, you can upload custom images, video clips, audio, logos, fonts, and brand elements. Kapwing also supports Brand Kits and reusable templates or characters to keep ads consistent across campaigns.

What types of ads can I create?

You can create:

UGC-style social ads
Product launch videos
Local service commercials
Performance marketing creatives
Short-form video ads
Spokesperson-style avatar ads
B-roll supported product ads

Do I need to record or film anything?

No. You can create AI-generated video ads without recording any footage. If you do need to record voice, video, or your screen, you can record directly inside Kapwing.

Is it legal to use AI to generate ads?

Yes, using AI to create ads is legal in most countries. However, like any marketing content, you’re responsible for ensuring your ad complies with advertising laws, platform policies, and intellectual property rules.

Are you allowed to post AI-generated ads on TikTok, Facebook, Google Ads, and YouTube?

Yes. Major ad platforms allow AI-generated content as long as it follows their advertising policies.

AI-generated ads must still comply with:

Platform-specific ad guidelines
Disclosure rules (where required)
Copyright and trademark policies
Misrepresentation rules

Are AI-generated ads customizable?

Yes — and that’s one of Kapwing’s biggest advantages. Unlike one-click ad generators that lock you into a template, Kapwing allows full customization after generation. You can:

Swap visuals and scenes
Adjust pacing and timing
Add brand logos, fonts, and colors
Resize for different platforms
Translate subtitles for global campaigns
Replace AI assets with your own

Are there any famous AI-generated commercials?

Yes — AI has already made its way into big-budget ad campaigns.

Coca-Cola’s 2025 “Holidays Are Coming” Christmas commercial was created with generative AI tools as part of the brand’s seasonal campaign and has over 2 million views on YouTube.

At Super Bowl LX, a significant number of advertisers leaned into AI. Companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Svedka all featured AI in their Big Game spots.

Does Kapwing support start frames and end frames?

Yes, Kapwing supports both start frames and end frames, enabling more precise motion control and scene continuity. By uploading reference images, you can guide transitions, maintain character consistency, and improve the overall structure of multi-scene videos.

How do I create video ads using the same character?

You can maintain character consistency across your video ads in a few different ways, depending on your workflow.

Create an AI Avatar by uploading footage of a real person and creating a digital clone. Or, generate a character using the AI Video Generator and save it to your Brand Kit. Once saved, you can reuse the same character across scenes by tagging them with “@” in each new prompt.

For voice consistency, you can also use AI voice cloning to replicate the same voice across all your videos.

What AI models are best for video ads?

Kapwing supports multiple AI video models, including Kling, Seedance, and Veo. Each model is optimized for different types of video ads depending on your creative needs.

Kling is best for ads that require precise motion control, including camera movement and guided motion using reference videos.
Seedance is best for cinematic ads with multi-scene storytelling, smooth transitions, and action-driven sequences.
Veo is best for ads that rely on strong audio, including ambient sound, sound effects, and background music.
