How to make an Etsy listing video from photos

Etsy gives you one video slot, 5 to 15 seconds, with no sound. A short animated sequence of your best stills is a legitimate way to fill it when you do not have footage.

The clip is rendered in the browser and downloaded as a file.

  • Upload 2 to 8 product photos, each under 12 MB.
  • Keep the portrait 1080 x 1920 canvas for the Etsy app, or switch to square.
  • Set the duration to 6, 10 or 15 seconds, all of which sit inside Etsy's 5 to 15 second rule.
  • Choose a slow zoom or pan so the clip moves without being frantic, and add a short headline if it helps.
  • Render the video and upload it to the single video slot on the listing.

Why portrait-first product videos fit this workflow

Etsy listing media often benefits from a taller frame that keeps the product prominent and gives a little more room to the object, packaging, or handcrafted detail.

This page opens with that portrait-first setup so the seller can focus on sequence and framing instead of rebuilding the canvas from scratch.

What this page should help with

The intended job is simple: upload a few product photos, arrange the sequence, keep the motion gentle, and export one short video that feels more listing-ready for handmade or catalog-style selling.

  • Portrait product showcase videos
  • Handmade and apparel listing sequences
  • Short browser-made product videos from still photos
  • Local-only export with no server render
Tips

Getting a better result out of Etsy listing video maker

Specific settings and thresholds, not general advice.

  • Etsy listing videos have no sound. Etsy strips the audio track, so a silent clip is not a compromise here, it is exactly what the platform serves. This tool produces a video-only file, which suits Etsy better than any other marketplace.
  • Etsy requires a listing video between 5 and 15 seconds. The duration options here are 6, 10 and 15, so all three are inside Etsy's window, with 15 sitting exactly on the maximum.
  • Etsy allows one video per listing, alongside up to 10 photos. That single slot has to do a lot of work, so use it to show something a still cannot: the drape of a fabric, the sparkle of a glaze, the scale of a piece in a hand.
  • This page opens on the portrait 1080 x 1920 canvas, which is right for the Etsy app where most browsing happens. If your listings are viewed mostly on desktop, the 1080 x 1080 square is a safer middle.
  • Two to eight images, each under 12 MB. At 15 seconds and six images that is 2.5 seconds a slide, which is about the minimum a shopper needs to actually take in a detail shot.
Limits

What Etsy listing video maker does not do

The honest boundary, so you do not lose time finding it yourself.

  • No audio, though Etsy removes audio from listing videos anyway, so this is not a limit that costs you anything on Etsy.
  • It cannot edit real footage. It animates stills, so a hands-on video of you making the item has to be shot and cut elsewhere.
  • It does not upload to Etsy or attach the video to a listing.
  • Motion is limited to still, slow zoom, pan and zoom-pan, with cut, fade and slide transitions. There is no timeline and no per-slide timing.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Is this an official Etsy upload tool?

No. It is a practical browser-first video builder for Etsy-style listing workflows, not an official Etsy uploader or validator.

Can I use square or landscape instead?

Yes. This page starts in portrait mode, but the normal canvas controls remain available once the images are loaded.

Do the product photos leave the browser?

No. The short-video preview and export are processed locally in the browser without server-side rendering.

How long can an Etsy listing video be?

Between 5 and 15 seconds. All three duration options in this tool, 6, 10 and 15 seconds, fit inside that window.

Do Etsy videos have sound?

No. Etsy plays listing videos without audio and strips the audio track from what you upload. That is why a silent render is the correct output here rather than a shortcoming.

How many videos can I add to a listing?

One, alongside up to 10 photos. Spend it on the thing a still cannot show: movement, scale, texture or how a piece opens.

Should the video be square or vertical?

Vertical 1080 x 1920 suits the Etsy app, where most browsing happens, and it is what this page defaults to. Square 1080 x 1080 is the safer choice if your traffic is more desktop-weighted.

Is the video rendered on a server?

No. Frames are drawn on a canvas and encoded in your browser, so handmade product photos that are not public yet stay on your device.
