Feature
Turn a URL into a video ad
pitchboom.io, an AI motion-design studio for video ads, turns a product or website URL into a motion-design video ad. It opens the page in a browser, takes desktop and mobile screenshots, reads the copy, logo, colors and fonts, then writes a storyboard you edit and approve before anything is rendered. Reading the page is free; videos are priced per second (Standard 13, Studio 100 credits per second), and new accounts get 500 free credits at signup, no card required.

What does pitchboom read from your page?
When you paste a link, pitchboom checks that the address is public, follows its redirects and loads the page in a browser twice: once at desktop width, once at phone width. Cookie banners are hidden, never accepted. It reads the live page, the way a visitor sees it, and keeps what an ad can use.
| From your page | What it becomes |
|---|---|
| Desktop and mobile screenshots (first screen and full page) | Browser and phone mock-up scenes; the measured position of headings and buttons lets a scene zoom in or point at them |
| Headline, copy, prices, offers and proof shown on the page | The script, the on-screen texts and the call to action; the analysis is instructed to restate only what the page and your brief say |
| Logo candidates | The logo of the opening and end cards, in a suggested Brand Kit you can change |
| Colors (the site's brand variables and the screenshot's palette) | The Brand Kit palette, with text and background contrast corrected to WCAG AA |
| Fonts | The closest family in the render library: a proprietary webfont is never re-hosted, and the substitution is flagged |
| Product images | Media for the storyboard's scenes |
| Product, audience, value propositions and tone | The angle of the script and the style of the voice-over |
Nothing is installed on your site and no store integration is needed: a Shopify product page, a SaaS pricing page or an app's landing page is read the same way. You can also save what was found as a Brand Kit, so the next videos use the same logo, colors, fonts and tone.
How do you turn a URL into a video ad?
1. Paste the link
Paste a product page, an app page or your homepage. A product page usually gives a sharper ad than a homepage: one product, one offer. The analysis takes no credits.
2. Set the brief
Pick a goal, one of 8 platform presets, a format (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 3:4), a length (6 to 120 seconds), a quality (Standard or Studio), a language, a voice, a music mood and captions.
3. Check the estimate
You see the full price before anything is generated. Confirming holds the credits from your balance; they are spent step by step, and what isn't used is released.
4. Edit and approve the storyboard
Each video gets a storyboard: scenes, on-screen texts, motion and the voice-over script. Rewrite any line or swap a scene for free. Nothing is voiced or rendered until you approve it.
5. Render and download
The approved board gets a voice-over with word-timed captions, music, motion design in your Brand Kit and automatic checks, then an MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio; 30 fps, 60 fps in Studio) file. Make it in other formats or other languages afterwards.
What does a video made from a URL cost?
Reading the page is free, within a daily number of analyses (Free 3, Starter 20, Pro 60 and Premium 200). Videos are priced per second: Standard 13, Studio 100 credits per second, with the storyboard, voice-over, music and 1080p render included. Every new account gets 500 free credits at signup, no card required (about one 30-second Standard video), then plans from €30 a month (excl. VAT) with monthly credits.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Reading the page and the suggested Brand Kit | Free |
| Storyboard edits before you approve | Free |
| A 15-second Standard video | 195 credits (about €1.95 at the Starter rate, €1.56 on Premium) |
| A 30-second Standard video | 390 credits (about €3.90 at the Starter rate, €3.12 on Premium) |
| A 30-second Studio video | 3,000 credits (about €30.00 at the Starter rate, €24.00 on Premium) |
The free signup credits make Standard videos, one at a time. Studio, 4K and batches come with a plan: Starter €30 · Pro €99 · Premium €300 per month (excl. VAT).
Which links work best?
- A public product or landing page that states the product's name, its main benefit and a price or offer near the top gives the analysis the most to work with.
- Pages behind a login, a paywall or a bot check can't be read: pitchboom only visits public addresses. Upload screenshots of those screens, or connect your code so the real interface is rebuilt.
- If a page can't be read (blocked, not HTML, too large or too slow), the project doesn't fail: it continues from your brief, with a warning.
- No site yet? Write two lines about what you sell and upload a few photos or screenshots instead.
How is pitchboom different from other URL-to-video tools?
Several tools accept a product URL. What they make from it differs. pitchboom makes motion design only: no avatars, no presenters, no stock footage and no generated live action.
| Tool | What it makes from a URL | The better choice when | Source (checked 2026-10-25) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creatify | Avatar, UGC-style or product video ads from a product page (Amazon, Shopify, App Store or Google Play links); it can also launch the ads to ad accounts and track results. | You want a person on screen, or want one tool to publish the ads and report performance. | creatify.ai: URL to video |
| Topview | An AI video agent: from a product URL (Amazon or Shopify), a script or a reference video, it plans scenes and generates clips with models such as Veo or Kling, with avatars. | You want generated footage, characters or avatars, or to reuse the pacing of a reference video. | topview.ai: Link to Video |
| Videly | Motion-graphics launch, promo and explainer videos from a website, screenshots or one sentence, with voice-over, music and subtitles; no avatars or stock footage. | You want to start from a YouTube link or a reference video. | videly.io |
| pitchboom.io | Motion-design ads from a product URL or a brief, with a storyboard you approve before rendering, in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 3:4, each recomposed rather than cropped. | You want an animated product ad built from your own site and Brand Kit, priced per second before you confirm. | pitchboom.io pricing |

Questions
Can I turn any website into a video ad?
Any public page that loads in a browser. Pages behind a login, a paywall or a bot check can't be read; the project then continues from your brief, and you can add screenshots, photos or other uploads.
Is reading the URL free?
Yes. The analysis takes no credits, within a daily number of analyses (Free 3, Starter 20, Pro 60 and Premium 200). You pay for a video only after you see its estimate and confirm it.
Does pitchboom copy my site's fonts?
It uses the closest family from its font library and flags the substitution: a proprietary webfont is never re-hosted. A Brand Kit can set the fonts used in every video.
Can I edit the ad before it is rendered?
Yes. Every video gets a storyboard first: scenes, on-screen texts and the voice-over script. Edits are free, and nothing is voiced or rendered until you approve. After the render, changes that need a new voice-over or render show their price first.
Can I do this from Claude or another AI assistant?
Yes, through the MCP server on Pro and Premium (from €99/month): analyze_url reads a page for free, create_project returns a quote, and nothing is charged until you confirm. See the MCP docs.
