Free short form video tools

The same tools we use on client videos every week: checking frames against the apps, timing scripts, reading the numbers, feeding lines. No signup, no watermarks, and nothing you type or drop in leaves your browser.

Pick by where you are stuck. The first group is for getting a video made, the second tells you whether the last 30 landed, and the last two put a number on what the views are worth to you.

Filming and scripting

Everything that happens before the camera is on. Write the first line in the hook generator, check it runs to time in the script timer, keep the frame clear of the buttons the apps draw over it with the safe zone checker, then read it down the lens from the teleprompter.

Hooks

TikTok Hook Generator

Five hooks for your niche on every press, from the formula bank we use on client accounts. No AI, no signup, no credits.

TikTok + Reels + Shorts

Safe Zone Checker

See what TikTok, Reels and Shorts draw over your frame, and download transparent safe zone templates for your editor.

Scripts

Video Script Timer

Paste your script and see how long it really runs at your talking pace, with a word budget for 15, 30, 60 or 90 seconds.

Filming

Online Teleprompter

Read straight down the lens from your browser. Mirror mode for rigs, a countdown, and a 9:16 phone frame practice view.

Measuring what you posted

Same idea, four different formulas, because every platform reports engagement on a different basis. Use the multi platform calculator if you post everywhere, or go straight to the TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or Facebook version. Posting time comes last. Start with the multi-platform analyzer, or use the YouTube study comparison when you need the sources named.

All platforms

Engagement Rate Calculator

Work out your engagement rate on the formula each platform is actually reported on, then compare it to published, sourced averages.

TikTok

TikTok Engagement Rate Calculator

TikTok engagement the way TikTok actually counts it: by views, not followers, with current benchmarks to score yourself against.

YouTube

YouTube Shorts ER Calculator

Engagement rate for Shorts and long-form on the views basis YouTube creators are measured on, with sourced averages.

Instagram

Instagram ER Calculator

Follower based with saves and shares counted, checked against the published Instagram averages with sources named.

Facebook

Facebook ER Calculator

Reactions, comments and shares against your page's follower base, with the published averages for context.

TikTok + Reels + Shorts

Posting Time Analyzer

Choose a platform, audience, content type and region, then test two sensible windows across 14 comparable videos.

YouTube

Best Time to Post on YouTube

The published posting time studies on one grid, Shorts and long form separated, converted onto your own clock.

Working out what it is worth

Two answers to the same question, depending on who is paying you. Creator Rewards if the platform is the customer, and booked calls if your clients are. For a professional, the second sum is the one that matters.

Earnings

TikTok Money Calculator

What Creator Rewards actually pays at your views, with the eligibility rules checked first and every figure dated.

Pipeline

Views to Calls Calculator

At your monthly views, how many booked calls should short form produce? Honest funnel math with every assumption on a slider.

The tools are the easy half. If you want to see what we actually do for clients, that is the other half.
