On Instagram Reels, viewers decide whether to keep watching in the first 2 seconds. A strong hook names a problem, makes a claim or opens a curiosity gap before the viewer can scroll — then the product proves it.
Keep key text inside the centre safe zone — the UI covers the bottom and sides.
Fast cuts and a strong first frame beat polished intros.
Use a clear CTA sticker or end card.

Frequently asked questions
What is an ad hook?expand_more
The opening line, visual or text of an ad that stops the scroll — usually the first 1–3 seconds of a video or the first line of primary text.
How long should a Reels hook be?expand_more
Say it in the first 2 seconds — roughly 5 to 12 words — and repeat it as on-screen text for viewers watching without sound.
How many hooks should I test?expand_more
Test 3–5 hooks with the same body footage. Swapping only the first seconds isolates what makes people stop scrolling.
What works best for swimwear ads?expand_more
Show the product on a real person within 3 seconds, lead with the pain point (“swimsuits that slip and need constant adjusting”) or the benefit (“it stays put through waves and cannonballs”), and back it with genuine reviews.
Is the ad hook generator free?expand_more
Yes — free, unlimited and private. Hooks are generated in your browser.
