On TikTok, viewers decide whether to keep watching in the first 1–2 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.
Look native: shoot on a phone, talk to camera, use trending sounds the brand can license.
Put the hook as on-screen text too — many viewers watch muted.
Show the product within 3 seconds and keep total length 9–21 seconds.

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 TikTok hook be?expand_more
Say it in the first 1–2 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.
Is the ad hook generator free?expand_more
Yes — free, unlimited and private. Hooks are generated in your browser.
