The e-commerce design company extended its image tools into video: point it at product photos you already have and it generates marketing clips — including staged unboxing videos — formatted for TikTok, Instagram, storefronts, and ads, with batch processing for large catalogues.

Designkit, a San Francisco-based AI e-commerce design company, announced an AI video platform that turns existing product photos into marketing videos for online sellers. The premise is that a merchant starts from the images already in their store or catalogue — no shoot, no per-clip editing — and Designkit generates video from them for storefronts, social media, and digital advertising.
The launch centers on an image-to-video generator plus format-specific tools: a TikTok video generator, an Instagram video generator, and an AI unboxing video maker that stages the open-and-discover moment without filming a real unboxing. Designkit frames the problem it is solving as multi-placement production — a single product typically has to appear across an online store, marketplace listings, organic social posts, and paid ads, each wanting a different length, aspect ratio, or message. To handle that at catalogue scale, batch processing is built into every feature: sellers upload multiple images into the workspace and generate across placements at once.
The video platform extends a broader Designkit e-commerce design suite that reached global availability on March 30, 2026. That suite pairs a Generative AI Suite — which produces a full listing image set (white-background hero shots, lifestyle scenes, in-use visuals) from a single prompt — with an AI Photo Editor Suite offering background removal and generation, object removal, image enhancement, and text/element integration, and it integrates with storefront ecosystems such as Amazon and Shopify. Designkit runs a freemium credit model with a free trial and paid plans that make output royalty-free and cleared for commercial use. Detailed per-tier pricing for the video platform was not published at launch, so confirm current plans on designkit.com/pricing; treat any specific figures as unconfirmed until then.
The launch is worth acting on the moment you have a clip exported, because Designkit stops exactly where distribution begins. It makes a product video and sizes it for a feed; it does not post it, and it does not turn one SKU into the week of content a launch actually needs. That is the seam [Kompozy](/) fills. Feed a Designkit product or unboxing clip into Kompozy and it captions the video, adds a [HyperFrames](/glossary/hyperframes) hook so the muted first second lands, reframes it to 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9, and then schedules and publishes it across the eight primary social platforms plus your blog and email from one queue on [Autopilot](/glossary/autopilot), behind a per-post review gate — no re-uploading the same file into six apps.
The compounding move is format fan-out. Kompozy takes the same product and generates what Designkit can't: a brand-exact [Carousel](/glossary/output-buckets) of the product's features, [Quote Graphics](/glossary/output-buckets) of the strongest benefit line, native Text Posts and a thread, a Blog Article for the drop, and an Email Newsletter — all under one [Persona Brief](/glossary/persona-brief) so the copy reads like your store. And because Kompozy generates persona video itself ([Persona Shorts and Persona Frames](/glossary/persona-shorts), with a Gemini face-lock), you can put a founder or spokesperson avatar on camera narrating over the Designkit footage — a talking-head-plus-product format the source tool has no path to. Designkit is the product-visual factory; Kompozy is the layer that turns each visual into a full, on-brand, multi-platform launch. If you want the news-cycle version too, feed the launch itself into Kompozy and it becomes a blog explainer, a carousel, and quote cards published everywhere in a day.
An AI video platform for e-commerce that turns existing product photos into marketing videos. It includes an image-to-video generator, TikTok and Instagram video generators, and an AI unboxing video maker, with batch processing built into every feature for sellers managing large catalogues.
No. Designkit generates video from product photos a seller already has — store or catalogue images — including staged unboxing clips, without a physical shoot or manual editing per clip.
No. Designkit generates and formats product videos and images but does not schedule or post them to social feeds, and it does not turn a product into carousels, blogs, or newsletters. Distribution and multi-format repurposing require a separate tool such as Kompozy.
Designkit runs a freemium credit model with a free trial (a starting credit grant plus daily login credits) and paid plans that make output royalty-free and cleared for commercial use.
