Best AI video generator apps for iPad
Some popular AI video apps, such as Runway and VideoGPT, have no iPad version on the US App Store: on an iPad they open as an iPhone app in a small window. These seven are built for iPad. For sharp clips, even on an older iPad, Kling AI. With a Google AI plan, Gemini. For a clip with sound in a chat app, Grok. To edit a whole video on a timeline, invideo.
All are free to download and sell subscriptions or credits. Check the iPadOS version first: they range from iPadOS 14 to 18.6.

How we checked
On 3 November 2026 we read Apple's lookup data and each app's US App Store page. An app is here only if Apple lists it as universal and its page shows iPad screenshots; Runway, VideoGPT, Flashloop and VideoMax do not, so they are left out. We did not install the apps on an iPad or compare video quality.
Order: first the apps whose listing says most plainly what video they make and at what quality, then the editor and the template apps. See also AI video apps with sound and text-to-video apps.
Frequently asked questions
Does Runway work on iPad?
On 3 November 2026 Runway's US App Store page shows no iPad version, so on an iPad it opens as an iPhone app in a smaller window.
Which AI video app works on an older iPad?
Kling AI needs iPadOS 14 or later, the oldest here; Pollo AI needs 15.6. Dora needs 18.6 and Gemini 18.2.
Is there a free AI video app for iPad?
All seven are free to download, but none of these listings promises free videos; they sell subscriptions or credits.
Can I use the same account on iPhone and iPad?
These are universal apps, so one purchase covers both. Dora's listing also says the same account works on the web.
