AI Video Generator for Shopify Product Pages

Shopify puts video in the same product media gallery as your photos. That single fact decides how the video should be authored: your theme crops every item in that gallery to one aspect ratio, so a 16:9 clip dropped in beside 1:1 photos either letterboxes or gets cropped through the product. Shopify's own guidance for product images is a square around 2048×2048, which is why most stores end up with a 1:1 gallery.

VdoBloom's Product 360 tool is built for that slot. One product photo in, a continuous 360-degree turntable video out, at whatever aspect ratio your gallery uses. All 18 spin templates end on a seamless loop, so the clip repeats in a gallery without a visible seam — and every template instructs the model to keep the product rigid with labels, logos and text sharp for the whole revolution.

If your PDP conversion problem is "the customer can't tell what the back looks like," a 360 spin answers it in five seconds without a photoshoot.

What this tool does

  • Shopify hosts product video inside the same media gallery as product images, so the video should be authored at the same aspect ratio the theme crops that gallery to — commonly 1:1, since Shopify recommends square product images around 2048×2048.
  • All 18 VdoBloom Product 360 templates end on a seamless loop — Marketplace White states it as "one unbroken shot with no cuts or fades, last frame matching the first" — which is exactly what an autoplay PDP gallery needs.
  • Studio Turntable is the default PDP style: a seamless white studio, constant rotation speed, soft contact shadow beneath the product, and "no visible turntable edge, stand or hands" in frame.
  • Every Product 360 prompt locks product identity — rigid, centred, no warping or melting, with labels, logos and text legible through the rotation. Studio Turntable's wording: "no warping, melting, morphing or resizing", with "every label, logo and line of text" staying sharp and legible.
  • Runway Gen-3 and Gen-4 Turbo expose 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9 and 9:16 on the Product 360 tab, so one source photo can produce a square PDP loop and a 9:16 cut for Shop app, Reels and TikTok.
  • Runway Gen-3 at 720p/5s is 10 credits in VdoBloom's credit table; at 720p/10s it is 20. Gemini Omni Image-to-Video and LTX-2 Fast output up to 4K if your theme serves high-resolution media.
  • Soft Grey Cyc is built for pale and white products — a light-grey cyclorama with wraparound light "that keeps the edges clearly separated from the background," solving the white-product-on-white-PDP problem.
  • For apparel stores, Ghost Mannequin rotates a garment on an invisible form on a light-grey seamless backdrop and holds its exact shape, drape and print placement through the turn.
  • Beyond the spin, Shopify sellers use Product Demo (up to 5 product images, "No people, product only" hard-coded into the prompt) for multi-angle showcase clips and UGC Ad Creator for presenter-led ads.

How it works

  1. 1.Match your theme's gallery ratio first

    Open a product in your storefront and check how the theme crops media. If your images are square, generate at 1:1 so the video sits flush beside them. If your theme uses portrait media, use 3:4 or 4:5. Getting this right before you generate saves a re-render.

  2. 2.Upload the same photo your PDP already uses

    Upload one clear product shot on a plain background to the Product 360 tab. Using your existing hero image keeps the video visually continuous with the gallery it will sit in.

  3. 3.Pick a style that matches your brand's PDP look

    Studio Turntable or Marketplace White for clean catalogue stores, Premium Black or Marble Pedestal for luxury, Soft Grey Cyc for pale products, Ghost Mannequin for apparel, Beauty Glow for skincare, Tech Light Tent for electronics, Lifestyle Orbit for warm lifestyle brands.

  4. 4.Set duration and resolution, then generate

    Runway Gen-3 gives 5s or 10s; Kling V3 Turbo Image-to-Video and PixVerse V6 reach 15s. Credit cost is shown before generation — Runway Gen-3 at 720p/5s is 10 credits.

  5. 5.Upload to the product's media gallery and reorder

    Add the MP4 to the product's media in Shopify admin. Place it second, after the hero image, so it shows in the gallery thumbnails without replacing the image customers scan first. Shopify publishes current hosted-video limits for file size, length and resolution in Shopify Help — check them before uploading.

Frequently asked questions

What aspect ratio should a Shopify product video be?

Whatever ratio your theme crops the product media gallery to. Because Shopify recommends square product images around 2048×2048, most stores run a 1:1 gallery, and a 1:1 video slots in without letterboxing or cropping through the product. Check your live PDP before generating — a 16:9 clip in a 1:1 gallery gets visibly cut.

Does the video loop cleanly in the gallery?

Yes. Sixteen of the 18 templates specify a locked-off camera with the product rotating in place; Lifestyle Orbit and Macro Detail Glide orbit the camera around a stationary product instead. All 18 specify a constant speed, one continuous take and a seamless loop, which is what makes the join invisible when the gallery autoplays.

Will it preserve my packaging text and logo?

That is the explicit instruction in every template, in each one's own wording. Studio Turntable, for example, requires the product to stay rigid and identical to the original photo with "no warping, melting, morphing or resizing", and "every label, logo and line of text" to stay sharp and legible through the rotation. Review the output before publishing, but the constraint is written into the prompt rather than left to the model's discretion.

Can I make a 9:16 cut for the Shop app and social from the same photo?

Yes. Runway Gen-3 and Gen-4 Turbo both expose 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9 and 9:16 on the Product 360 tab. Generate 1:1 for the PDP gallery and 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok from the same source image.

I sell white products on a white theme. Won't the spin disappear?

Use Soft Grey Cyc. Its prompt puts the product on a seamless light-grey backdrop with a subtle radial gradient and large soft sources on both sides, explicitly "ideal when the product itself is white or pale," with a grounded shadow that keeps the edges separated from the background.

Do I need a videographer or a turntable?

No. The input is one still photograph. There is no rig, no 3D model and no studio booking — the rotation is generated. That is the whole point of the tool for stores with hundreds of SKUs and no shoot budget.
