Make an Etsy Listing Video From One Product Photo
Etsy’s help center says a listing video runs 3 to 15 seconds and plays without sound. Hero Shot turns the photo you already have into a 6 or 8 second clip that fits, in a Studio reveal, Lifestyle or In-hand style. Leave sound and voiceover off and a 6 second video costs 20 credits.
What you choose for an Etsy video
Settings for a listing video
- Length
- 6 seconds for 20 credits or 8 seconds for 26. Both fit inside the 3 to 15 seconds Etsy gives.
- Sound
- Leave sound and voiceover off. Etsy plays listing videos without audio, so you would pay for audio nobody hears.
- Headline
- An optional headline (+2) is added as text on the video, so it still reads with the sound off.
- Format
- Pick the shape that matches your listing photos: 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 or 16:9.
- Style
- Studio reveal for a clean look at the product, Lifestyle for the item in a setting, In-hand for a person holding it.
This lists the settings, not a real video. Check the video against the item before you add it to your listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long can an Etsy listing video be?
Etsy’s help center gives 3 to 15 seconds. Inflyu makes 6 or 8 second videos, and both fit. Check Etsy’s current listing video rules before you upload.
Do I need sound on an Etsy listing video?
No. Etsy says listing videos play without audio, so leave sound and voiceover off and keep those credits. A headline is text on the video, so it still reads.
What does an Etsy listing video cost?
A 6 second video costs 20 credits and an 8 second video 26. A headline adds 2. If a step fails, the credits for that step and every step after it are returned.
Will the video change how my item looks?
Your product comes from your own photo, and the video models are not asked to draw text or logos. Small details can still shift, so compare the video with the item before you add it.
Can I use it for handmade or vintage items?
Yes, as long as the video shows the item the buyer gets. Do not use it to show a finish, size or condition the real item does not have.
Does Inflyu upload the video to my shop?
No. It makes the video file, and you add it to your listing in Etsy yourself. Nothing connects to your shop.
