A product video with a song for your Amazon listing

Be careful here. Amazon's Sponsored Brands video specs ask for 16:9 video only, 6 to 45 seconds, and those ads start muted. SingingAds makes 9:16 vertical ads, so its video is not a Sponsored Brands creative. Where it does help Amazon sellers: social ads on TikTok, Reels and Shorts that send shoppers to your listing, and the jingle itself, which you can lay under your own 16:9 edit.

What Amazon asks for in a Sponsored Brands video

As of 17 Oct 2026, Amazon Ads lists these specs for Sponsored Brands video:

  • 6 to 45 seconds, with 20 seconds or less highly recommended.
  • 16:9 only, at 1280 x 720, 1920 x 1080 or 3840 x 2160, as MP4 or MOV.
  • No letterboxing or pillarboxing, so a vertical video with bars on the sides is out.
  • Videos start without audio; shoppers tap to turn sound on.
  • The language must match the marketplace, and text should stay out of the lower right corner.

A 9:16 SingingAds video fails the ratio rule, and padding it with bars fails the next one. We would rather tell you that here than have the upload rejected.

The setup that does work

Use SingingAds where vertical video is native and send that traffic to Amazon. You give it your product listing (or describe the product if Amazon blocks the page for robots); it writes and sings a jingle and cuts a 9:16 ad to it; you get the MP4 and the song as separate downloads; and every sung claim comes from your bullets, approved by you before anything is produced.

For Amazon itself, the song is the useful part. The rights cover ads, so you can put the 15-second jingle under a 16:9 edit you make from your own product footage. Since Sponsored Brands videos start muted, add on-screen text in that edit too.

What the lyrics can say for an Amazon product

  • Copy claims from your bullet points: dimensions, materials, what is in the box.
  • Never sing your star rating, review count or a badge. SingingAds does not add reviews or ratings, and they change week to week anyway.
  • Comparison lines like "stronger than the leading brand" get flagged for you to check, and Amazon's own ad policies apply on top.
  • Sing the benefit early. Amazon's guidance is to show the product within the first few seconds and save the brand name for later.

Which length to choose

For a jingle under your own Amazon edit, pick 15 seconds: it sits inside Amazon's recommended 20 seconds with room for an end frame. For social ads that drive to the listing, 30 seconds gives you the problem, the product and the reason to click. Sixty seconds is rarely worth it for a single listing.

Before you send traffic to a listing

  1. Check the price and any coupon on the offer card match the listing on the day you launch.
  2. Confirm stock. Paying for clicks to an out-of-stock listing hurts twice.
  3. Selling on several Amazon marketplaces? Make the song in the marketplace language, such as German for amazon.de.

Building your own 16:9 edit around the song

If you want a Sponsored Brands video with the jingle in it, the edit is yours to make. Take the 15-second song file into any video editor, set the project to 1920 x 1080, and cut your own product footage to the sung lines. Put the product on screen in the first seconds, as Amazon advises, add on-screen text for the muted start, and end on your brand name and logo. Keep that text clear of the lower right corner. For the vertical side of the same campaign, see YouTube Shorts product ads, and check pricing for how many songs a pack makes.

Illustrative example: an invented Amazon seller

Seller: Ledgerleaf Desk Goods (made up). Product: the Riser One bamboo monitor stand.

Buyer: someone working from a kitchen table on a laptop. Moment: a sore neck by 3 p.m.

Claims from the bullets: solid bamboo, raises the screen 4 inches, storage drawer underneath. Left out: "fixes neck pain" (a health claim the owner did not want sung).

Lyrics, 15 seconds: Neck sore by three? / lift it up and see / four inches, bamboo, drawer below / Riser One, and on you go.

Use: the 9:16 video as a Reels ad linking to the listing; the song alone under the seller's own 16:9 product clip for Sponsored Brands.

What it can't do

  • It does not export 16:9, so its video cannot be uploaded as a Sponsored Brands video creative.
  • It does not run Amazon Ads campaigns or touch your Seller Central account.
  • It may not be able to read Amazon pages that block robots; describe the product instead.

What it costs

From $15 for one ad, or $59 for about 6 thirty-second video ads. Credits never expire. A jingle take costs 4 credits; a typical 30-second video ad about 26. There is no free tier and no free sample.

One-time packs

One ad

$15 once

40 credits, about 1 thirty-second video ad

Five ads

$59 once

180 credits, about 6 thirty-second video ads

Questions

Can I upload the SingingAds video to Sponsored Brands?

No. Amazon asks for 16:9 only and does not allow side bars, and the SingingAds video is 9:16.

Can I use the jingle in my own Amazon video?

Yes. The rights cover ads with no royalties. You remain responsible for the claims, and Amazon's ad policies apply to the finished video.

What about the videos on the product detail page itself?

We did not verify Amazon's current detail-page video specs for this page, so check them in Seller Central before you upload anything there.

Can the song be in German, French or Spanish?

Yes. SingingAds writes and sings jingles in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian, which helps with Amazon's rule that ads match the marketplace language.

Is a social ad pointing to Amazon worth it?

It can be, for products that need a reason to notice them. Test one 30-second ad first; see TikTok product ads for how to brief it.
