Creati alternative
Creati alternative: from one product photo to a video ad
Pixel Dojo does the same job as a template app, product photo in, ad out, but you choose the image model for the scene and the video model for the motion, and see each price before you run it.
Creati turns product photos into short social ads with templates, background swaps and an ads agent. We took one product, a terracotta reed diffuser, and walked it through the same pipeline on Pixel Dojo so you can see how each step works.
30 credits ($1.88) per 5 s clip at 720p with audio. Included in every plan, from $10/month.

How product to video ad tools work
Every tool in this category does three jobs. It needs a clean product shot. It places the product into scenes that sell a mood, which Creati calls Swap. Then it moves one of those scenes into a short clip, which Creati offers as Snap Mode for images and Sync Mode for a product URL.
The hard part is the middle step. The product has to stay the same product, same shape, same color, same tag, while everything around it changes. If the bottle drifts, the ad is unusable.
Other ad formats from the same studio
We made every clip below on Pixel Dojo with the prompt shown. Tap one to start from it.
The forest scene animated on Kling 3.0, with rustling leaves and wind.
Slow orbit around the terracotta diffuser on the mossy stone as orange leaves drift down and fog moves between the trees. Sound: rustling leaves and a soft wind.
A UGC style testimonial on Veo 3.1 Fast. She says the line to camera with the faucet running.
Vertical selfie style UGC video: a woman with curly hair in a bright bathroom holds up a bamboo toothbrush to the camera and says, "Switched last month. Not going back." Natural window light, a faucet running softly.
A claw machine hook on Kling 3.0, beeps and jingle included.
Vertical close up inside a glowing arcade claw machine as the metal claw lowers, grabs a fluffy blue plush whale and lifts it toward the chute, neon reflections on the glass, arcade beeps and a cheerful jingle.
An FPV style opener on WAN 3.0 with rushing wind.
First person camera view racing low through a sunlit canyon of red sandstone, banking over a green river and climbing toward a lone desert road, fast smooth motion, no aircraft or vehicles in frame, rushing wind roar.
The diffuser through the whole pipeline
We shot the product on Nano Banana 2.1, swapped it into a bathroom on Nano Banana 2.1 and into a forest on Qwen Image 2.1, then animated the bathroom scene on Seedance 2.5. Each tile shows its settings and credits.
Product photo of a matte terracotta ceramic reed diffuser bottle with five natural rattan reeds and a blank cream paper tag on twine, standing on a white seamless backdrop, soft studio light, crisp shadow, no text.
Place this exact terracotta reed diffuser on a light oak bathroom shelf beside a folded white linen towel and a sprig of eucalyptus, warm morning window light, keep the bottle, reeds and blank tag unchanged.
Place this exact terracotta reed diffuser bottle on a mossy stone in an autumn forest with fallen orange leaves and soft fog, keep the bottle, reeds and blank tag unchanged.
Slow push in on the terracotta reed diffuser on the oak shelf as warm morning light drifts across the wall, a hand sets a folded towel down beside it, the eucalyptus leaves stir in a light breeze. Sound: quiet room tone and birdsong outside the window.
- Both swaps kept the bottle shape, the terracotta color, the twine and the blank tag from the product shot.
- Nano Banana 2.1 built the calmer, brighter bathroom scene; Qwen Image 2.1 gave the moodier forest for 1.5 credits.
- Seedance 2.5 kept the diffuser steady in frame while a hand and the light moved around it, with room tone and birdsong in the sound.
- The reeds stayed the same five curved reeds from the first photo to the last frame of the ad.
Why the model matters at each step
Scene swaps need a model that follows a reference closely. Nano Banana 2.1 and Qwen Image 2.1 both take reference images, so we could ask for the exact bottle in a new place.
Motion needs a model that keeps the product stable while the scene moves. Seedance 2.5 and Kling 3.0 both start from a first frame, so the ad opens on the scene you approved.
A template app picks those models for you. Here you pick them, and each model page shows its price before you click. Creati's home page names Veo 3.1, Sora 2 and Nano Banana among its models.
