TikTok Script Generator
Type your video idea. This TikTok script generator writes a hook for the first three seconds, what to say, what to film, the words on screen and a caption.
Type your video idea and press Write the script.
How it works
- 01
Type the idea
What the video is about, in a line: "three things I wish I knew before adopting a rescue dog".
- 02
Pick a length and a style
15, 30 or 60 seconds, as something educational, a story, a joke, a product or a push.
- 03
Film from the script
Hooks, beats, on-screen text and a caption arrive as they are written. Copy it, or continue in the studio to make the video.
What you get
A hook you can test
The opening line is the strongest of several, and two alternate hooks come with it, so you can post the same video with a different start.
A shot for every beat
Each beat has what to say, one shot you can film on a phone and the words on screen, kept to eight words or fewer.
Free to try
3 scripts a day with no account, 20 with a free one. Copy it, or turn it into a video in the studio.
Who it's for
Creators posting every day
Get a structure for each video, so the work goes into filming and not into staring at a blank note.
Small shops and local businesses
Show a product in use or answer a customer question in 30 seconds, with one honest reason to care.
Social media managers
Write several versions of the same idea with different hooks, then test which one holds people.
| Length | Spoken words | Beats |
|---|---|---|
| 15 seconds | Around 38 | A hook, one or two beats and a payoff |
| 30 seconds | Around 78 | A hook, three beats and a payoff |
| 60 seconds | Around 150 | A hook, four or five beats and a payoff |
What the example shows
The example above is a real result of this tool, written from the idea in the box. Nothing was edited after it came back.
The same script works on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts: all three are short, vertical and decided in the first seconds.
What a short video script needs
- A hook in three seconds. A specific claim, a question or an image that makes scrolling away feel like a loss. Not a greeting and not "in this video".
- One idea for each beat. Anything that does not move the viewer to the next beat is cut.
- A payoff that answers the hook. The last beat delivers what the first one promised.
- One shot you can film. Each beat has a single clear shot that a person can make on a phone, with no crew.
- Words on screen that add something. Short, and not a copy of what you say, since many people watch with the sound off.
- A short call to action. One line that fits the video.
From the script to a video
Continue in the AI Script Writer to edit the script and turn it into shots for a vertical video.
Open the AI Script WriterTo make the video itself, use the AI TikTok video generator or the AI Shorts generator. For a longer video, use the YouTube script generator.
Frequently asked questions
Is this TikTok script generator free?
Yes. You can write 3 scripts a day without an account and 20 a day with a free one. Longer work in the AI Script Writer is priced in credits, and the price shows before you run it. New accounts also get 40 free trial credits to try the rest of Ziztu.
Does it work for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts?
Yes. A short vertical video is written the same way on all three: a hook in the first seconds, one idea for each beat and a payoff at the end. The caption and hashtags are written for TikTok, and you can change them for the other platforms.
How long can the video be?
Up to 60 seconds, which is about 150 spoken words. The 15 and 30 second options get about 38 and 78 words.
What are the other hooks for?
The script opens with the strongest hook the writer found. Two other openers come with it so you can post the same video with a different start and see which one holds people longer.
Does the script include what to film?
Yes. Each beat has one shot that a person can film on a phone, and the words to put on screen. You do not need a crew or special equipment.
Who owns the script?
You do, as far as the law and the model providers' terms allow (see the Terms of service). Ziztu does not train AI models on your content.
Can it write in other languages?
Yes. It writes in the language of your idea.
