Frequently asked questions
Can AI summarize a TikTok video?
Yes. Paste a TikTok link into PageSum and it summarizes what is said in the video. If the video has captions, PageSum uses them; if not, it transcribes the audio with AI first.
Is the TikTok summarizer free?
Yes. The free plan includes 1 video summary a day, in Quick or Key Points mode, with AI transcription for videos up to 3 minutes. No credit card is needed.
Does it work with Instagram Reels?
Yes. Public Instagram Reels, X (Twitter) videos and Facebook videos use the same flow: paste the link and pick a summary mode.
What about TikToks longer than 3 minutes?
If the video has captions, length doesn't matter. Without captions, the free plan transcribes up to 3 minutes and Pro up to 10 minutes.
Which TikTok posts don't work?
Photo posts, videos from private accounts, and videos with only background music. PageSum summarizes spoken content, so a video needs someone talking.
Do I need a TikTok account?
No. PageSum only needs a public link to the video. You do need a free PageSum account to summarize videos.
