Not a clip. A finished TikTok.

An AI short video generator that finishes the whole TikTok

Plenty of AI TikTok tools hand you one short clip and stop, so you still write the TikTok script, record the voice, cut the captions and stitch it together in another editor. MakeAIVideo makes the whole TikTok from your line: a hook-first script, an AI voiceover, a vertical scene per beat, word-by-word captions and any music you pick, rendered as a 9:16 1080p MP4. Making something other than a TikTok? Use prompt to video.

Hook-first scripts.
Every TikTok script opens with a line built to survive the first three seconds of the For You feed.
Vertical from the start.
9:16 is the default, so captions and framing tune to the vertical safe area with no re-crop after the fact.
Captions burned in.
Word-by-word captions time to the voiceover and bake into the export, ready for a muted feed.

How it works

How the TikTok video generator works

  1. Step 1

    Type your TikTok idea and keep 9:16

    Type the TikTok in one line (the topic, the angle and the format, such as a POV or a three-tip list) and keep 9:16 vertical. A sharp angle gives you a sharp TikTok script, and the generator starts on it right away.

  2. Step 2

    AI writes a hook-first TikTok script and picks a voice

    Your line becomes a paced TikTok script that opens with a hook in the first three seconds, then carries through body and close. A natural AI narrator is chosen to match the tone, and you can re-roll the voice later if you want a different read.

  3. Step 3

    AI builds vertical scenes, captions and music

    Every beat of the TikTok script becomes a 9:16 scene, from real stock footage by default or generated by AI in the visual style you pick (cinematic, anime, claymation, more), and word-by-word captions are timed to the voiceover so the TikTok still lands when the For You feed is on mute. Add a music track if you want one and it ducks under the narration automatically. For anime all the way through, start from the AI anime video generator.

  4. Step 4

    Render a vertical 1080p TikTok and post it

    Most short TikToks are ready in a few minutes. A clean 9:16 1080p MP4 lands in your library, watermark-free. Post it to your connected TikTok account now or on a schedule, download it, or open it in the editor to tweak a scene first.

Before your first TikTok

How to make TikTok videos with AI: format, niche and length

The TikTok generator handles script, voice, scenes and captions. Three decisions are still yours, and making them once is what lets you post to TikTok every day without rethinking the account.

1. Pick one format

Voiceover over scenes

A narrator reads the script over stock footage or AI scenes, captions on top. It suits almost any TikTok niche: tutorials, explainers, lists and hot takes. For videos that are not TikToks, use prompt to video.

An AI presenter

One consistent presenter reads every script to camera, so followers learn a face as well as a voice. Pick one from the AI talking avatar library.

A trend, remixed

Open a trending video, read why its hook, pacing and payoff work, then press Make it yours to rebuild that structure on your own topic.

2. Lock one niche

AI TikTok works best where the words carry the video. Dance, lip-sync and personality vlogs lean on a face on camera and suit it less.

  • Finance and money
  • Tech and AI tutorials
  • Education and how-to
  • News explained
  • Business and founder stories

3. Choose a length

15 to 30 seconds
About 35 to 75 words
A quick tip: hook and payoff, nothing else.
30 to 60 seconds
About 75 to 150 words
The standard: hook, body and one ask.
60 to 90 seconds
About 150 to 225 words
A deep dive or story, and the band to aim for if you want Creator Rewards.

Word counts assume a read of about 150 words a minute. Check a script with the speech time calculator.

TikTok specs

TikTok video generator specs: size, length and safe areas

What TikTok itself says about each spec, with a link to the page that says it, next to what MakeAIVideo makes. Count a caption before you post with the free TikTok caption counter.

Shape
TikTok:Vertical 9:16. TikTok's creative best practices list orienting vertically at 9:16 among the basics.
MakeAIVideo:9:16 at 1080 x 1920 is the default. 1:1 and 16:9 are there too, one ratio per render.
Length
TikTok:Videos you upload can run up to 60 minutes, and in-app recordings up to 10 (TikTok camera tools help).
MakeAIVideo:Presets of 15 s, 30 s and 1 min, or a custom length up to 10 minutes. Stock-footage videos run to 40 minutes on Plus and Pro.
First seconds
TikTok:TikTok's ad guidance says to introduce the content proposition in the first 3 seconds and put the hook in the first 6 (creative best practices).
MakeAIVideo:Every TikTok script opens on the hook line, so the first spoken words and the first caption carry it.
On-screen text
TikTok:Keep content inside the UI safe zone, and when text carries the message TikTok suggests 5 to 10 words a second (creative best practices).
MakeAIVideo:Word-by-word captions are burned in and placed in the safe area for the ratio you pick, paced to the voiceover.
Post caption
TikTok:Up to 4,000 characters, as the MakeAIVideo post dialog counts it.

TikTok's AI label

Labeling videos from an AI TikTok video generator

TikTok can label AI content automatically when it carries Content Credentials (C2PA). MakeAIVideo exports do not carry them, so the label is yours to add. It takes one switch or one line of caption.

When TikTok asks for it

TikTok requires a label on AI-generated content that contains realistic images, audio or video, and encourages one on anything completely generated or significantly edited by AI (TikTok: About AI-generated content). An AI talking avatar presenter, an AI character swap and realistic AI scenes all count.

How to add it

In the TikTok app, tap Add post, upload the video, tap Next, then More options, and turn on the AI-generated content setting. TikTok also accepts disclosure written into the post itself, as text, a hashtag sticker or context in the description.

Posting from MakeAIVideo

The MakeAIVideo post dialog has no switch for TikTok's label, so say it in the caption you post (for example, 'Made with AI'), or download the video and upload it in the TikTok app with the setting on.

What it does to reach

TikTok says turning on the AI-generated content setting won't affect a video's distribution as long as it follows the Community Guidelines. Unlabeled realistic AI content can be removed.

Formats

Faceless TikToks and other formats to make with AI

Six kinds of TikTok the generator and its sibling tools make, none of which shows your own face.

A stack of silver coins and a small plant on a desk, a frame from a faceless finance explainer TikTok

Faceless explainer TikToks

A narrator reads a hook-first script over real stock footage, with captions on top. It suits finance, tech, history and how-to niches, and a 30-second one costs about 112 credits. Short of a niche? Try the faceless YouTube channel idea generator; many of its niches carry over to TikTok.

A Roman aqueduct in morning haze, a frame from a cinematic AI history story TikTok

Story TikToks in AI scenes

Switch the footage to AI video and every beat becomes a generated scene in one of 15 visual styles, from cinematic to anime. It fits history, mystery and what-if stories that stock footage cannot show.

A presenter speaking to camera in a bright home studio, a frame from an AI presenter TikTok

AI presenter TikToks

Give the account a face without showing yours. An AI talking avatar reads each script to camera, with captions and stock B-roll, so followers learn a presenter as well as a voice.

A friendly silver robot character gesturing in a living room, a frame from a character swap skit

Character skits from your own clip

Film the skit yourself, then AI character swap replaces you with a character across a 3 to 60 second clip. It costs about 22 credits a second, so a 15-second skit is about 325 credits.

A frosted skincare bottle on stone with a water ripple, a frame from an animated product photo

Product photos that move

Turn one product shot into a 5 or 10 second vertical clip with image to video: about 92 credits for 5 seconds, 163 for 10, or 183 for 10 seconds with a voiceover. Good for TikTok Shop sellers and launch teasers.

Hands repotting a small succulent on a light table, a frame from a tutorial TikTok

Tutorial TikToks

Compress a how-to into a 60-second TikTok with paced narration and a scene per step. Each beat gets its own visual, so nothing drags and the steps stay easy to follow.

If you want to cut an existing long video into TikToks, a repurposing tool fits better. This is for TikToks built from scratch.

A posting rhythm

A weekly workflow to make TikTok videos with AI

Three or four TikToks a week, made in one sitting and scheduled ahead. At about 112 credits for each 30-second stock-footage TikTok, that is roughly 1,450 to 1,950 credits a month, within Pro's 3,000.

  1. Step 1

    Monday: pick this week's TikTok ideas

    Type your niche into the Ideas board, pick a tone and get ten ideas with a hook and an angle each. Keep the three or four that fit your format, or draft hooks with the free TikTok script generator.

  2. Step 2

    Make the batch in one sitting

    Send each idea to the TikTok video generator at 9:16 with the same voice, visual style and caption preset, so the account reads as one creator. Fix any weak scene in the editor rather than starting again.

  3. Step 3

    Schedule each TikTok for its own slot

    Open each finished video, choose Post to your accounts, add an AI disclosure to the caption and set a date and time. Scheduled posts go out within about two minutes of the time you pick.

  4. Step 4

    Friday: check what went out

    The Posts page shows each video's status on every account and links to the live post. Read views and watch time in TikTok's own analytics, then keep the formats that held viewers for next week's batch.

What to avoid

Five mistakes that stall an AI TikTok account

New AI TikTok accounts tend to stall for the same few reasons, and none of them is the tool.

Changing format every video

TikTok learns who to show you to from what you post. Pick one structure, such as a three-tip list or a 60-second story, and keep it long enough to learn from.

Posting off-niche to grow faster

One off-topic video can pull views, then blur who the account is for. Stay in the niche even when a random idea tempts you.

Putting the hook in the caption

The caption sits below the video; the first frame is what a scroller actually sees. The hook belongs in the first spoken line and the first caption on screen.

A voice that does not fit the niche

A neutral narrator suits tech and finance; personality niches need a voice people recognise. Pick one narrator that fits and keep it on every video.

Quitting before the account has data

Early videos are how TikTok works out your audience, and most accounts look flat at first. Judge the format after dozens of posts, not five.

Best practices

Tips for AI short videos that hold the For You feed

Write the TikTok idea around the hook

Lead with the angle, not the topic. 'A 30-second POV about why TikTok pays less than YouTube' beats 'a video about creator pay' every time, because the TikTok script inherits the angle from your line.

Pick 9:16 before generating

Captions and framing are tuned to the safe area for the ratio you choose. Switching a 16:9 render to vertical means exporting again, and visuals framed for wide can lose what mattered.

Make the caption's first line count

The post dialog allows up to 4,000 characters for TikTok, but the hook belongs in line one. Finish with a few niche hashtags rather than a long stack. The free TikTok caption generator drafts options.

Burn captions in for sound-off viewing

Plenty of the TikTok feed is watched muted. Word-by-word captions are baked into the export by default; pick a high-contrast preset so they read on busy backgrounds.

Re-roll one scene, not the whole TikTok

If a single scene misses, regenerate just that scene in the editor instead of re-rendering the whole TikTok. Faster and cheaper than starting over.

Name the TikTok format in your idea

Say 'faceless explainer', 'POV' or 'tutorial' in the one-line brief. The generator tunes pacing, tone and visual style to the TikTok format you name.

TikTok AI video generator FAQs

How the TikTok generator writes, renders and posts your videos, what TikTok asks of AI content, and what it costs.

Something else? Visit the help center

How do you make TikTok videos with AI?

Pick one format and one niche, then type the topic and angle in one line with the ratio at 9:16. MakeAIVideo writes a hook-first script, records an AI voiceover, builds a scene per beat from stock footage or AI video, times word-by-word captions to the voice and renders a 1080p MP4 in a few minutes. Tweak it in the editor, then post it to your connected TikTok account now or at a time you schedule.

How does the TikTok video generator work?

You type a one-line TikTok idea and MakeAIVideo writes a hook-first TikTok script, records an AI voiceover, generates a scene for each beat, times word-by-word captions to the voice, and renders a 9:16 vertical 1080p MP4 ready to upload to TikTok. A short clip is usually ready in a few minutes.

Is there a free AI TikTok video generator?

You can try it free. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with 350 credits, full quality and no watermark; a card is required to start it. After the trial, plans start at $9 a month. The TikTok script generator and TikTok caption generator stay free and need no account.

How much does it cost?

Each TikTok costs credits, all in: script, voiceover, scenes, captions and export. A 30-second stock-footage TikTok is about 112 credits, and a 30-second TikTok in AI scenes with voiceover about 612. Plans start at $9 a month for 600 credits, with a 7-day free trial. Posting every day? Pro is $49 a month for 3,000 credits. Run out? Add credits any time, from $5; credits you buy never expire. See MakeAIVideo plans and pricing.

How much does one TikTok cost?

About 112 credits for a 30-second stock-footage TikTok, with the script, narration and captions included. AI scenes cost more: about 324 credits for 15 seconds and about 612 for 30 seconds with voiceover. The create screen shows the exact cost before you generate, so you always see it first.

How long does a TikTok render take?

Most short vertical clips are ready in a few minutes. Longer videos take longer, and AI-generated scenes take longer than stock footage. The finished TikTok lands in your library when it is done.

What size should an AI TikTok video be?

Vertical 9:16, which MakeAIVideo exports at 1080 x 1920. TikTok lists vertical 9:16 among the basics in its creative best practices. Keep captions and key visuals inside the safe area so the app's buttons and caption do not cover them; MakeAIVideo places its burned-in captions there for you.

What aspect ratios and resolution does it export?

9:16 vertical, the TikTok format, is the default, and the same vertical file works as a Reel or a Short. You can also pick 16:9 landscape or 1:1 square, one ratio per render. Every export is a 1080p MP4 with captions placed in the safe area for the ratio you pick.

Do I need to label AI-generated TikToks?

If the video contains realistic AI images, audio or video, yes: TikTok requires a label, and encourages one on any content completely generated or significantly edited by AI (TikTok: About AI-generated content). Turn on the AI-generated content setting under More options when you post in the TikTok app, or disclose it in the caption when you post from MakeAIVideo. TikTok says the setting won't affect distribution as long as the video follows its Community Guidelines.

Is there a watermark on the videos?

No. Every export is a watermark-free 1080p MP4, yours to upload to TikTok or anywhere else. That holds on every plan and during the free trial.

Can AI TikToks earn from TikTok's Creator Rewards Program?

Videos you generate are yours to use commercially, but TikTok decides what its program pays for. Its Creator Rewards Program rules ask for at least 10,000 followers and 100,000 video views in the last 30 days, videos at least one minute long, and original content; TikTok does not count videos made only of photos or text overlays as original. Make 60 to 90 second TikToks with your own angle and script. See the MakeAIVideo terms.

Can I make faceless TikToks?

Yes. A narrator over stock footage or AI scenes needs no face at all. For a face that isn't yours, use an AI talking avatar presenter, or film a skit and swap yourself for a character with AI character swap.

Can I edit the TikTok after it generates?

Yes. Open the finished video in the built-in editor to rewrite captions word by word, swap the voice, re-roll a single scene, or restyle the captions. The default export is built to post as-is if you don't want to tweak.

How is this different from a generic AI TikTok generator?

Most TikTok generators hand you a single short AI clip and stop, so you still write the script, record the voice, cut captions, and stitch it elsewhere. MakeAIVideo makes the whole TikTok (script, voiceover, multi-scene visuals, captions, optional music) and outputs the finished vertical video you can post to TikTok directly. For videos that are not TikToks, the AI video generator does the same in any ratio.

Is this an AI short video generator for Reels and Shorts too?

Yes. The same 9:16 render posts to Instagram as a Reel and to YouTube as a Short from the same post dialog. The Instagram Reels generator and YouTube Shorts generator pages cover each platform's own habits.

Can I bring my own TikTok script instead of a one-line idea?

Yes. Script to video narrates your TikTok script word for word over real stock footage or AI scenes, with the same captions and 9:16 export. Give a one-line idea if you want the AI to write the TikTok, or paste the script if you've already written it.

Are captions and music included?

Yes. Word-by-word captions are timed to the voiceover and burned into the export, and background music is optional: pick a track and it ducks under the narration. Nothing to add in post; the clip is ready for the feed.

How long can a generated TikTok be?

Most TikTok-style clips fit 30 to 60 seconds, about 75 to 150 spoken words; a quick tip can be 15 to 30 seconds and a story-driven deep dive 60 to 90. Longer videos are supported (up to 10 minutes for AI-generated scenes), but for the platform the shorter, paced format tends to outperform.

How many AI TikToks should I post?

As many as you can keep up on a steady rhythm. Each video is another chance for TikTok to find your audience, but a pace you drop after a week does less than a smaller one you hold. Make a batch in one sitting and schedule each video for its own slot; scheduled posts go out within about two minutes of the time you set.

Can I cross-post AI TikToks to Reels and Shorts?

Yes. Tick more accounts in the post dialog and the same 9:16 video goes to Instagram as a Reel and to YouTube as a Short, with a caption you can adjust for each platform's limit: 4,000 characters on TikTok, 2,200 on Instagram and 5,000 on YouTube.

What kind of AI voice works best for TikTok?

A conversational, energetic read that matches the niche. Pick a narrator before you generate, re-roll or swap it in the editor if the read is off, and keep the same voice across videos so the account sounds like one creator.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Nothing is lost: your account and finished videos stay exactly as they are. Your plan credits refresh on your next billing date. Run out sooner? Add credits any time, from $5; credits you buy never expire.
