Paste your app's URL — its website, landing page, or App Store listing — and get a real promo video back: script, AI voiceover, original music, and every frame designed around what your app actually does. Vertical 9:16 for App Store and Play Store previews, plus 16:9 and 1:1 for everywhere else.
Most tools that call themselves "app promo video makers" don't make videos. They make static mockups — your screenshot dropped into a floating phone image — or they hand you a manual template editor and let you assemble slides yourself. That's a graphic, or an afternoon of work. It isn't a promo.
PromoHyper is the AI that designs the whole thing. Everything up to the final render is free: it reads your app, writes three script directions, and shows you a storyboard before you pay anything. Your first render is free too, with a PromoHyper watermark on it. Clean videos start at $29.
Your app already has everything a script needs
Every app that ships has a web presence — a marketing site, a landing page, or at minimum an App Store or Play Store listing. That page already spells out what the app does, who it's for, and why it matters. That is exactly the raw material a good promo script is built from.
So the URL is the input. PromoHyper reads that page the way a strategist would, builds a brand profile from your colors, type and logo, and writes three distinct script directions — one might lead with the problem, one with the outcome, one with how the app works. You pick a direction and edit any line you don't like. Then it voices the script, scores original music to it, and designs each frame around the words.
No prompt to engineer, no template to fill, no footage to shoot. The three weeks of scripting and back-and-forth that normally sit in front of an app video are the part the URL removes.
Vertical screens, framed the way app screens should be
App screenshots come in portrait. A promo that shoves a tall phone screen into a wide desktop browser window looks wrong instantly, and it's the giveaway that a tool didn't really understand it was making an app video.
PromoHyper composes for the app: portrait product screens are placed in a clean device-style frame, not a browser tab, and the video itself renders in 9:16 for the App Store and Play Store — the format Apple and Google actually want for a preview. It reads your real screens from your site and designs motion around them, so the finished video shows the app doing its thing rather than thirty seconds of gradients with adjectives on top.
You also get 16:9 and 1:1 from the same script, so one video covers your App Store preview, a YouTube spot, and a square feed ad without three separate briefs.
What happens after you paste the URL
The pipeline, in order:
- Reading. The AI reads your app's page and builds a brand profile: positioning, audience, tone, and the visual identity it can detect.
- Three scripts. You get three distinct directions. Pick one, edit any line.
- Voice and music. An AI voiceover reads your script (17+ languages), and original music is scored to fit it.
- Frame design. Every scene is designed around the words — with your app's real screens placed in device-style frames.
- Render. 9:16, 16:9, or 1:1. 1080p on every video; 4K on Pro.
Everything through the storyboard preview is free — no card. The render is the only thing you pay for, and videos are usually ready in minutes rather than in a next-week email from an editor.
Why this beats a mockup generator or a template editor
The app-video category splits into two kinds of tool, and neither one actually makes the video for you.
Mockup generators put your screenshot inside a pretty phone image and, at most, add a slow pan. The output is a nice graphic — but it has no script, no narrative, no voice. It shows your app; it doesn't sell it.
Template editors hand you a timeline and a library of pre-built scenes and let you do the work: choose the layout, type the copy, time the cuts, pick the music. That's real editing, just downloaded onto you. If you had the hours and the eye for it, you wouldn't be looking for a tool.
PromoHyper is the third thing: the AI writes the script and designs the motion. You approve a direction and revise lines — you don't assemble scenes or engineer a prompt. The result is an actual promo, built around your app's story, not a frame around your screenshot.
Free until the final render
Most tools in this category charge you before you know whether the output is any good — subscription first, disappointment second.
PromoHyper inverts that. The analysis, the brand profile, all three scripts, and the storyboard preview cost nothing, with no card required to see them. You find out what your app's video will say and roughly how it will look before a dollar changes hands.
And the first render is free outright: one video per account, delivered with a PromoHyper watermark, so you can watch a finished PromoHyper promo before deciding anything. When you do pay, it's per video, not per month: $29 for a clean video on Starter, or $39 on Pro, which is the same single video with 4K, AI video clips, Animate UI and the complex animation mode added. Paid videos include free revision rounds (one on Starter, two on Pro). Paying for a video you've already seen the shape of beats subscribing to an editor you'll open twice.
| Mockup generator | Template editor | PromoHyper from URL | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you actually get | Your screenshot inside a phone image, maybe a pan | A timeline and scenes you assemble yourself | A designed promo: script, voice, music, motion |
| Who writes the script | There is no script | You do | The AI writes three directions; you pick and edit |
| Setup effort | Upload a screenshot | Learn the editor, build every scene | Paste your app's URL |
| App Store 9:16 preview | Not really its job | If you build it yourself | Rendered natively, plus 16:9 and 1:1 |
| Price basis | Often a monthly subscription | Monthly subscription | Per video: first one free and watermarked, then $29 on Starter or $39 on Pro |
What this is wrong for
A few things this is wrong for, and it's fairer to say so here than after you've pasted a URL.
It's not a screen recorder. If you want a raw capture of someone tapping through your app, record your device — this designs a promo, it doesn't film your screen. It's also not an editing suite: there's no timeline to fine-tune, you work at the level of script and revision rounds, not keyframes. And it doesn't shoot live action — no actors, no founder on camera, no location. That's a production company's job.
Where it's strong: App Store and Play Store preview videos, launch and feature-announcement promos, and paid social ads for mobile and web apps. Anything where clarity, brand fit, and speed matter more than a film crew. If your app has essentially no web presence at all, you can still describe it in a sentence or two and it'll build the scripts from that — a live page just gives the AI more to read.
Frequently asked questions
Can it make an App Store or Play Store preview video?
Yes. It renders vertical 9:16, which is the format Apple's App Store and Google Play use for preview videos, and it places your portrait app screens in device-style frames rather than a desktop browser window. You also get 16:9 and 1:1 from the same script for YouTube and social.
It's an app — do I need a website for it to read?
Any web presence works: a marketing site, a landing page, or your App Store or Play Store listing. If your app has essentially none of those, describe it in a sentence or two and PromoHyper builds the brand profile and the three scripts from your description instead.
How is this different from a phone mockup generator?
A mockup generator gives you a graphic — your screenshot inside a phone frame. There's no script, no voice, no narrative. PromoHyper writes the script, voices it, scores music, and designs the motion around your app's screens. It's the difference between a picture of your app and a promo for it.
What languages does the voiceover support?
17 and counting. The AI voiceover reads your script in the language you choose, and the music and frame design work the same regardless of language — useful when your app ships in more than one store region.
What formats and resolutions do I get?
9:16, 16:9, and 1:1, so one video covers the App Store or Play Store preview, a YouTube spot, and a square feed ad. Every video renders at 1080p; Pro adds 4K.
What if I hate the first version?
You see three script directions before anything renders, and you can edit every line of the one you pick. If the rendered video still misses, the paid tiers include free revisions: one round on Starter, two on Pro. And since everything before the render is free — and your first render is free as well, watermarked — hating the first draft costs you nothing.
How much does it cost?
Your first video is free — one per account, rendered with a PromoHyper watermark and no revision round. After that a clean video is $29 (Starter), and Pro is $39 for the same one video plus 4K, AI video clips, Animate UI and the complex animation mode. If you like the free one and want it without the watermark, that's its own $19 one-off for that single video, and there's no deadline on it. There's no subscription, and nothing is charged before you render: the analysis, brand profile, scripts, and storyboard preview are free with no card required. For ten videos or more, email canberk@promohyper.com.
How long until the video is ready?
Usually minutes. The slow part of an app promo was never the rendering — it was the weeks of scripting, briefing, and feedback rounds sitting in front of it, and that's the part reading your URL replaces.
