Free hook analyzer for TikTok, Reels and Shorts
Paste the first line you say or show. In a few seconds you get a score from 0 to 100, what already works, three fixes and three stronger versions of your hook.
What you get in a few seconds
- A score from 0 to 100 and a one-line verdict
- Three fixes, starting with the one that matters most
- Three rewritten hooks, ready to say on camera
How it works
Paste the hook
The first sentence you say, the text on screen in the first second, or the opening of your script. Up to 600 characters, in any language.
Pick the platform
TikTok, Reels or Shorts. The rules are the same; the rewrites are tuned to how people watch on each one.
Read, rewrite, film
You get the score, three fixes and three rewritten hooks. Copy the one that sounds like you, or check your own new version.
What the score measures
The same rules the BeViral app uses for the first seconds of a video, applied to the words.
A promise or a question in the first 1.5 seconds
Viewers decide almost at once. The opening should say what they will get, or open a question they want answered, before the first breath ends.
Concrete, not generic
Numbers, names and specific outcomes beat "you won't believe this". "I saved $400 in March by cutting one thing" is a hook; "money tips" is a topic.
Clear without context
Someone scrolling has seen nothing before this second. The line has to make sense on its own: no "as I said", no inside jokes, no warm-up.
Short enough to say
A hook is said or read in a second or two. Long sentences get lost in the scroll, so the score drops when the line runs long.
90 and up is a viral candidate, 75 to 89 high potential, 60 to 74 means fix first, and below 60 the opening needs rethinking. It is the same scale as the app's video report.
Weak hooks, stronger hooks
Three openings of the kind the analyzer sees every day, and what changes when they are rewritten.
Before
Hey guys, today I want to talk about saving money.
After
I saved $400 in March by cutting one thing.
The greeting spends the first second on nothing. The rewrite opens on a number and a result, and leaves the "one thing" open.
Before
Here are some tips for better sleep.
After
Stop doing this 30 minutes before bed.
"Some tips" promises a list. The rewrite promises a single, specific change and makes the viewer wonder which one.
Before
So I tried that viral pasta recipe everyone is making.
After
This pasta has 2 million views. It's missing one step.
The original needs context the viewer may not have. The rewrite gives it in one number and adds a reason to stay.
Check the whole video
The hook is the first seconds, but it also lives in the picture, the on-screen text and the sound. Upload a video up to 60 seconds long to get a score and the three fixes worth the most points.
Questions about hooks
What is a hook in a TikTok video?
The first one to three seconds of a video: the line you say, the text on screen and the first shot. That is where a viewer decides to stay or scroll, so it weighs more than any other part of a short video.
How does the hook analyzer score my hook?
An AI model reads your text and judges it by four rules the BeViral app uses for the opening of a video: a promise or question in the first 1.5 seconds, concrete detail, sense without context, and a length you can say in one breath. 90 and up is a viral candidate, 75 to 89 high potential, 60 to 74 fix first, below 60 rethink the opening.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free and needs no account. There is a daily limit per connection to keep the tool fast for everyone; after each check the page shows how many you have left today.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes. Write the hook in any language. The score, verdict and fixes come in the language of this page, and the three rewritten hooks in the language of your text.
What happens to the text I paste?
It is sent to our AI provider to be scored and is not stored: we log only its length. The check is not linked to any account. The privacy policy has the details.
