What is Arcads?
Arcads is an AI tool for creating video ads, particularly the user-generated-content style in which a person speaks to camera. It supplies a library of over 1,000 AI actors and an option to generate a custom actor who can hold a product, demonstrate an app or wear clothing. Scripts can direct the performer's emotion in writing. Around the actors sits a studio of utilities: captions, voice changes, actor replacement, background removal, frame extraction, video extension, transcription and translation into more than 30 languages. Several third-party models, among them Seedance, Kling, Seedream, Nano Banana and GPT Image, can be selected for video or product visuals, and ready-made presets give starting formats for ads. A Workflow feature arranges tools on an infinite canvas so a team can build and test variations together. The site also lists video and lip-sync APIs and mentions a free trial.
