See what actually works on your own channel — frame by frame
Paste a YouTube, TikTok or Instagram link and get a frame-by-frame breakdown of the hook, pacing and structure — ranked against your own catalogue as a percentile, not a magic score. Then turn your best videos into ideas and compare every published idea with what your channel actually measured.

Script Generator
AI deconstructs viral videos scene by scene and generates complete scripts you can replicate. From hook to CTA.
Script Review
Review a script before you film: what holds, what drags, what to cut. It won't invent a viral score — your channel gives the verdict after you post.
Thumbnail Studio
Generate thumbnail concepts from your video and get a visual read of each one before you pick.

Numbers you can check
Viral Finder never invents a metric. When something wasn't measured, it says so.
Your channel is the ruler
A video is ranked by its percentile among your own measured videos. With fewer than 10 measured videos there is no rank — not a guess.
Estimates are labelled
Anything the AI estimates says so and never gets a colour band. Missing data shows as “—”.
From idea to measured result
When an idea becomes a published video, its views are compared with your channel's median before it — marked provisional until the data is solid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Viral Finder?
Viral Finder is an AI video analysis platform for YouTube, TikTok and Instagram creators. It breaks each video down frame by frame — hook, retention, structure — ranks it against your own channel as a percentile, turns your best videos into ideas and measures how each published idea performed.
How does AI video analysis work?
AI video analysis uses computer vision and language models to evaluate video content frame-by-frame, analyzing hook effectiveness, emotional engagement, visual quality, audio clarity, and audience retention patterns.
What makes a video go viral?
Videos go viral when they combine a strong hook (first 3 seconds), high emotional triggers, shareability factors, trend alignment, and platform-optimized formatting. Key factors include curiosity gaps, pattern interrupts, and relatable content.
How to improve YouTube video performance?
Improve YouTube performance by optimizing your title for curiosity, creating eye-catching thumbnails, hooking viewers in the first 3 seconds, maintaining retention with pattern interrupts, and posting when your audience is most active.
Does Viral Finder give my video a viral score?
No magic number. When your channel has at least 10 measured videos, a video gets its percentile inside your own catalogue (P90 means it beat 90% of your videos). The AI also gives a technical score for hook, structure and retention, labelled as its own read. Without enough measured data, it says so instead of guessing.
How to analyze TikTok video performance?
Look at the hook (first 1-2 seconds), completion rate, shares, comments and trend fit — and compare against your own account, not someone else's. Viral Finder breaks the hook down frame by frame and, with your account synced, ranks the video among your own.
What is the best time to post on YouTube?
It depends on your audience, and generic tables rarely hold. Viral Finder's channel audit groups your own measured videos by publishing day and hour, and only draws a conclusion when a slot has at least 20 measured videos.
How to write a viral video hook?
Write a viral hook by starting with a curiosity gap, bold claim, or emotional trigger in the first 3 seconds. Avoid introductions. Use pattern interrupts and address the viewer directly.
