Top 5 AI Reel Makers for E-commerce Brands in 2025

Creating Reels every day is a full-time job.

But if you’re running an online store, managing dozens (or hundreds) of products, and trying to grow on Instagram… who’s got time to edit videos?

Welcome to the age of AI-powered Reels. Tools that promise to do the editing for you, and maybe even publish daily without you lifting a finger.

But not all AI reel makers are made equal. Some are great for content creators. Others are clunky, expensive, or require way too much manual work.

If you’re a small e-commerce brand, you want simple, fast, and automated. Here’s our take on the top 5 AI reel makers in 2025—with one built especially for you.

1. ReelsMaker.ai ✨ (Best for e-commerce)

Paste your product URL. Get a Reel. That’s it.

ReelsMaker was designed for busy online shops that want to turn their websites into social media content without hiring freelancers, learning Premiere Pro, or wasting hours in Canva.

🌟 Easiest to use: just paste your URL, and you’re done
🎥 Built for Reels, Shorts, TikTok
✅ Automatically reuses your product photos + descriptions
⏰ Fastest Time-To-Reel: under 1 minute
✨ No editing required. Just regenerate if you want a new version

If you have a product page, ReelsMaker will turn it into a dynamic video ready to post. No brief. No download struggle. No learning curve.

2. MakeReels

MakeReels focuses on converting blog posts or text prompts into short videos, with options like voice cloning and fast rendering.

🔹 Simple UI, voice features
❌ Poor download experience
❌ No image scraping from URLs (bad for product-based businesses)

Great for creators. But not ideal for ecommerce.

3. VideoGen

VideoGen used to offer URL-to-video generation (useful!) but recently gated this under a pricey Business plan (~300€/month).

🌟 Great to tell stories, for B2B brands that has a narrative to promote rather than a product to showcase
❌ Steep paywall
❌ Requires setup and branding settings before generating content
🔹 Powerful but too costly for small shops

Good tech, but unless you’re an agency with budget, skip.

4. Predis.ai

Predis is more focused on ad creatives than daily Reels. The interface is complex, and video export options are limited behind paywalls.

🌟 Designed for Ad Creatives (but not really for trending product Reels)
❌ Overly complex UI
❌ No URL input, too many manual steps

It works if you’re building an ad campaign. Not great for organic social.

5. InStories

InStories blends video clipping with ad-style creatives. Lots of templates, but you need to upload everything and tweak manually.

🌟 Beautiful visuals
❌ Requires manual editing
❌ No automation from site/product URLs

Useful for agencies. Not for solopreneurs on a tight schedule.

Why We Built ReelsMaker (A Quick Backstory)

We didn’t set out to build a SaaS.

We were just trying to solve our own problem.

Running ZeWelcome.com, the leading vacation rental platform in Guadeloupe, we had a ton of listings and needed to stay visible on Instagram.

But:

Editing videos manually took too long
Posting frequently is rewarded by social platform
Hiring freelancers was too expensive
And the AI tools we tried all required too much setup

So we built ReelsMaker.ai

A tool that turns your product page into a high-performing Reel in seconds. No templates, no storyboarding, no editing.

Just one click.

What started as a side-project became a full SaaS when other brands started asking for access.

And here we are ✌️

We also tested the “big names” — but they didn’t cut it

We tried mainstream tools too. Here’s why they didn’t work for daily product Reels:

CapCut – Great for manual editing, but way too time-consuming. No automation, no URL import, and you still need to do everything yourself.
Pipit.ai – Focuses on AI influencers and ad scripts. Reels creation from real product pages are really disappointing, web scraping is laggy, and you still need to make some choices, it’s not a « 1 clic tool ».
Canva Video Magic – Impressive templates, but you still have to upload every asset manually and design it slide by slide, then export. Impossible to automate, the API is really hard to implement.
Invideo – Strong for video ads, but Reels are an afterthought. Automation is not possible.
QuickAds.ai – Generates ad creatives, not organic Reels. No way to plug in a product page and generate a dynamic video.
Arcads.ai – Uses AI avatars to pitch your products, but doesn’t work with your existing visuals or site. Selling a product with an clumsy AI avatar is not relaly appropriate. Plus, it costs €100/month with no trial.
Poolday.ai – Focuses on generating UGC-style influencer content, not scalable for e-commerce product catalogs. Plus we don’t want to fool our users by creating fake UGC videos. Even it numbers prove that it works, it’s an ethical choice not to engage in this dark patterns.
Lift (Mobile App) – Lots of templates, but fully manual and mobile-only. Not a solution for brands with 50+ products to process every week.

In short: no tool allowed us to go from URL to Reels without friction. That’s why we built ReelsMaker.ai — for people who’d rather grow their brand than learn video editing.
