Video Script Duration Estimator

How many seconds will your script last?

Paste your script. We estimate spoken duration from word count (140 wpm in EN, 150 in FR — standard UGC pace) and alert if it overflows the 15s / 30s / 60s platform caps.

Frequently asked questions

Why 150 words / minute?+

It's the average pace of an English UGC video in 2026 — fast enough to feel energetic, slow enough to be understood. Faster = lost, slower = boring.

What if I naturally speak faster?+

Bump to 170 wpm for an energetic pep-talk delivery. But beware: on TikTok retention crashes if people can't follow. Default to 150.

My script is 18s, should I cut?+

On TikTok / Reels the 2026 sweet spot is 15s or 30s. At 18s either cut 3s or push to 30s by adding a beat. Don't sit between.
