Free Viral Hook Generator
Drop in your video idea and get a batch of scroll-stopping hooks, each tagged with the pattern it uses (open loop, stat shock, callout and more) plus a one-line note on why it works. Built for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
What makes a hook go viral
A viral hook is the first line of a video, the first 1 to 2 seconds, that stops the scroll. The best ones use proven patterns: an open loop that withholds the payoff, a stat shock that surprises, or a callout that names the exact viewer. Specific beats clever, and the hook decides whether anyone watches the rest.
