A winning Meta ad usually stays in one language
When a Reels or Feed ad works in one country, the next country often gets a new shoot, a different voice, or the original with subtitles. Each of those changes the ad you already know works.
The usual way
- Book a local creator or reshoot for each market
- Voice-over by a different voice actor
- Original audio with translated subtitles
- Re-export the dub for each placement
With GeckoDub
- Translate the footage you have. The same person speaks the new language.
- The dub uses the speaker's own cloned voice.
- Spoken translation, plus optional animated subtitles for people who watch with the sound off.
- Upload each cut you run; each keeps its resolution and framing, so a 9:16 Reels cut stays 9:16.
From your ad file to a new-language ad in Ads Manager
1Upload the adUse the same video file you uploaded to Ads Manager (MP4, MOV and other common formats, up to 512 MB).
2Choose the outputPick the languages, standard or HQ lip-sync, and subtitles if you want them.
3Review the scriptRead the translation next to the original. On paid plans, edit any line, such as the offer or price, before it's voiced.
4Download and launchDownload the new video and add it to your ad set in Ads Manager like any other creative.
GeckoDub does not publish to Meta for you. Write the primary text and headline in Ads Manager as usual. The free test uses about 15 seconds of your clip at reduced quality, so it's for judging the dub, not for running as an ad. Paid plans translate the full video at full quality.

Don't trust AI dubbing on Reels? Good. Test it.
Upload the close-up you think will break it: fast talking, music underneath, a product near the mouth. Your 2 free test translations, about 15 seconds each, can use HQ lip-sync.
Same clip, product held in front of the mouth. Left: other AI dubbing. Right: GeckoDub.
Lip-sync that holds up in real ads.
Real ads have products, mics and head turns in front of the mouth. That's where most lip-sync breaks. GeckoDub is built for these shots.
We edit your real ad. We don’t generate a new one.
GeckoDub doesn’t create an AI avatar or a new video. It keeps your real footage, your products exactly as they are, and your real speaker with their own voice, cloned. Only the mouth is re-synced to the new language. That’s why it looks natural: it’s still your ad.

Built for the doubts Meta advertisers raise
“Will it sound like our creator or a stranger?”
Same voice
The dub uses the speaker's own voice, so the person viewers see is the person they hear.
“Will it translate our product names?”
Product names
The Brand Kit glossary keeps brand and product names as they are and applies your own fixed translations for set phrases. Dormeo keeps Octaspring® and Ecocell® this way.
About the Brand Kit“Half our Meta ads are images.”
Static ads
Static ad images go through a separate image translation feature in the app. Dormeo localizes its static ads too.
Scrolling with the sound off? Your ad still talks.
Add animated subtitles in the new language, timed to the new voice and burned into the video, in your brand fonts and colors.

Notes for Meta placements
Reels and Stories (9:16)
Upload the vertical cut. The framing stays as it is.
Feed
If you run a different cut in Feed, upload that cut as well. Each video in each language is its own translation.
Text in the video
Burned-in hooks, prices and stickers stay in the original language. GeckoDub translates the speech, not the pixels.
Music and sound effects
They stay as they are; only the speech is replaced.
Meta's own option
Meta has introduced generative AI translations, including voice dubbing, for ads in Ads Manager. If you are choosing between the two, our comparison sets out the differences. Either way, a GeckoDub file is yours to download, so the same translated file can also run on TikTok or YouTube.
GeckoDub vs Meta AI dubbingHow PUELLA took its video ads to every market.
BeforeThey knew video ads beat static, but had video in one language only. Local creators for every market cost too much, so other markets got static ads.
With GeckoDubThey film new ads in Slovak with their own in-house team, then run every one of them in all their markets, translated with GeckoDub.
“It has made creating localised content much easier for us and is definitely helping us move faster and grow in new markets.”

A minute of video uses about 8 tokens for translation alone, about 20 with standard lip-sync and about 40 with HQ lip-sync, so Starter covers about 5 minutes with standard lip-sync.

Meta has introduced generative AI translations, including voice dubbing, for ads in Ads Manager. Its voice translation works from English into 13 languages, inside the Meta ad. GeckoDub starts from 57 source languages, lets you edit the script before dubbing on paid plans, and gives you a file for any platform. If your ad has an English voiceover and only runs on Meta, try Meta's tool first. Our GeckoDub vs Meta AI dubbing page has the full comparison.
