MakePerfectAds makes a short video ad for Reddit from a single website or product link. MakePerfectAds is an AI video ad generator: paste a link or upload a photo, confirm one screen, and get an 8–20 second MP4 with a voiceover, captions and your call to action. Reddit video runs in the feed and in conversation threads, and most of it plays muted — this page explains what to make so the message lands.
Captions do the work on Reddit
Reddit video autoplays muted in the feed, so the text on screen carries the message. MakePerfectAds puts your script on screen as captions and your call to action as exact on-screen text, so the ad reads with no sound — then the voiceover rewards anyone who turns sound on. You choose the language; the captions and call to action all follow it.
What aspect ratio to use
Both shapes work on Reddit:
- 9:16 (vertical) — fills a mobile feed and matches cuts you already have for Meta Reels or TikTok.
- 16:9 (landscape) — suits desktop and the larger feed placements, and matches a YouTube cut.
If you only make one, a vertical 9:16 cut is the safer default for a mobile-first feed. Pick the aspect ratio in the Studio.
Reddit rewards straight talk
Reddit audiences are quick to spot a hard sell. Lead with a real, specific benefit rather than hype — MakePerfectAds checks your script for claims your page does not support and uses your offer word for word, so the ad says only what you can back up. A plain, honest hook tends to do better here than a glossy superlative.
What link to paste
Paste the product page of the single item you are advertising for the clearest ad — a homepage or category page has no one subject. Software or an app? Paste your homepage or app-store page; see apps and SaaS. No page yet? Upload a photo (PNG, JPEG or WEBP up to 5 MB) and a short description. The ecommerce guide describes what the ad will contain for a store.
Getting it onto Reddit
MakePerfectAds produces the MP4; you upload it in Reddit Ads and set targeting and budget there. MakePerfectAds does not publish the ad for you and does not report ad performance — that stays in your Reddit account. Watch the finished ad before you upload it: the automatic checks cover technical quality, the link and the language, not persuasiveness.
Common mistakes
- Relying on sound. Reddit video plays muted by default; keep the message in the captions.
- A hard-sell hook. Reddit audiences tune out hype — lead with a specific, real benefit.
- Forcing one crop. Pick 9:16 for the mobile feed or 16:9 for larger placements rather than stretching one shape.
- Pasting the homepage. Paste the exact product page so the ad has one clear subject.
Frequently asked questions
What aspect ratio do Reddit ads use?
Both 9:16 (vertical) and 16:9 (landscape) run on Reddit. Vertical fills a mobile feed; landscape suits desktop and larger placements. If you make only one, choose 9:16 for a mobile-first feed — the same cut also works on Meta Reels and TikTok.
Will my Reddit ad work without sound?
Yes. Reddit video autoplays muted, so MakePerfectAds puts the script on screen as captions and your call to action as on-screen text; the voiceover is a bonus for a sound-on watch. Review the finished file to confirm the captions are readable before you upload.
Does MakePerfectAds upload the ad to Reddit for me?
No. MakePerfectAds makes the MP4; you upload it in Reddit Ads and set targeting and budget there. MakePerfectAds does not publish ads or report their performance, so your Reddit account stays in your control.
What makes an ad work on Reddit?
A specific, honest hook and on-screen captions. Reddit audiences respond to straight talk, so MakePerfectAds checks your script for claims your page does not support and uses your offer word for word. Watch the finished ad before running it — the automatic checks do not judge persuasiveness.
