How it works
- 01

TikTok, Reels, Shorts or YouTube. Bold, curious, funny or calm.
- 03
Copy a hook
Press Write hooks and copy the line you want. Run it again for ten more.
What you get
Ten different angles
A bold claim, a question, a number, a story, a contrarian take, a secret, a mistake, a before and after, a challenge and a curiosity gap. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Made for your platform
Choose TikTok, Reels, Shorts or a longer YouTube video. Each hook is short enough to say or show in the first seconds.

What the example shows
The first example above is a real answer of this tool, nothing edited. Look at how the ten lines differ: one states a claim, one asks a question, one leads with a number. The same topic opens ten different ways, so you can pick the angle that fits the video you made.
What makes a good hook
A hook is the first thing the viewer hears or reads. It has about three seconds to make scrolling away feel like a loss. The ones that work are specific, say who it is for or what they get, and open a question the video answers. Avoid greetings, "in this video" and anything the viewer has already heard.
The tool writes the opening line only. Check that the video delivers what the hook promises, and change any claim that is not true for you. Then write the rest of the script with the TikTok script generator or the YouTube script generator.
Start from another video
Starting from a video you saw? Get its words first with the Instagram Reel transcript generator, the TikTok transcript generator or the YouTube transcript generator, then write your own version of the idea.
Frequently asked questions
Is this video hook generator free?
Yes. There is no signup and no card. You get 8 runs a day without an account and more with a free one. Each run gives ten hooks.
What is a video hook?
The first line of a short video, spoken or shown on screen, that makes the viewer stay. It usually lasts two to three seconds.
Which platforms is it for?
TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and longer YouTube videos. The hooks are short, spoken lines that work on any of them.
Will the hooks make my video go viral?
No tool can promise that. A good hook helps people stay for the first seconds. The rest of the video has to earn the view.
Does it invent facts about me?
It is told not to invent statistics, results or claims. Read each hook once and change anything that is not true for you before you post.
Can I get the hook from a video I like?
Yes. Get its transcript with the free transcript tools and read how it opens, then write your own hooks on the same topic.
