0/2000 characters

Short-form scripts are limited to 10–180 seconds. For longer scripts, use the YouTube Script Generator.

How it works

  1. 1Describe your video. Enter your short video topic, and optionally add extra instructions such as 'start with a shocking question' or 'avoid technical words'.
  2. 2Choose platform, language, duration and style. Pick YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, or a generic short video, then choose the language, duration (10 to 180 seconds), tone, audience, and short style.
  3. 3Generate the short script. Click Generate Short Script. The worker estimates a word-count target from the duration and writes a tight HOOK / CORE / PAYOFF / CTA script.
  4. 4Copy or download. Copy the full labelled script, the narration-only version, the hook, or any section, and download as TXT, Markdown, or JSON.

Best practices

  • Open with the hook in the first seconds — for 15–30 second videos there is no room for a formal introduction.
  • Keep one clear topic and a single message; short scripts lose focus fast.
  • Use short, natural spoken sentences and minimize filler for fast but clear pacing.
  • Avoid 'hey guys, welcome back' openers unless you explicitly ask for them.
  • Only include a call to action when requested — a forced CTA hurts retention.
  • Never promise algorithmic performance, reach, or virality for any platform.
  • Read the script aloud to check the timing; word counts are estimates and speech naturally varies.
  • Verify time-sensitive claims before publishing — the generator writes from your topic and does not research live facts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Shorts Script Generator free?
Yes! The FreeTools Guru Shorts Script Generator is completely free to use with no signup required.
Which platforms can it write scripts for?
YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and generic short videos. Each platform gets a slightly different pacing note — for example a fast hook for TikTok and a conversational, compact delivery for Reels — without creating separate prompt systems.
Can it write scripts in Tamil and English?
Yes. Choose Tamil for natural spoken Tamil, English, Hindi, or Tamil + English (mixed Tanglish style). Tamil scripts avoid stiff literary phrasing and keep common English technical terms where they sound natural.
What durations are supported?
Short-form durations from 10 to 180 seconds: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 seconds, or a custom value. Longer scripts belong in the YouTube Script Generator.
How is the script length calculated?
The generator estimates a target word count from the duration using a configurable speaking rate (roughly 130–150 words per minute, depending on language). For example 15 seconds targets about 30–40 words, 60 seconds about 120–150 words, and 3 minutes about 380–450 words. The AI is asked to stay near that target without padding.
Does it research facts or add citations?
No. The script is written from the topic you supply. It never fabricates statistics, studies, quotes, or source links. If your topic depends on current facts, verify time-sensitive claims before publishing.
Can I copy or download the script?
Yes. Copy the full labelled script (HOOK / CORE / PAYOFF / CTA), copy the narration-only version for a teleprompter, copy the hook or any section, or download the script as TXT, Markdown, or JSON.
Is my topic stored permanently?
No. Your topic and instructions are processed securely and automatically removed according to our data-retention policy. We never store or share your scripts or channel plans.
