FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this TikTok transcript generator free?
Yes. You can paste a public TikTok video link and get the transcript without creating an account. A fair-use limit applies to prevent abuse.
Do I need the TikTok app or a login?
No. The tool runs in your browser. You only need a link to a public TikTok video that already has captions.
Why didn't I get a transcript?
Most often the video has no public captions, is private, was deleted, or is region-locked. This version does not invent a transcript with AI when captions are missing.
Can I use the transcript commercially?
The text still belongs to the original creator. Use it only with permission or as allowed by law. StickReel's commercial usage rights apply to videos you generate in StickReel, not to third-party TikTok content.
How do I turn a transcript into a stick figure video?
Copy the text, open StickReel, choose Create from script, paste the transcript, and generate a faceless stick figure video for Shorts, TikTok, or Reels.
Turn the transcript into a stick figure video
Paste the text into StickReel as a script and get a faceless MP4 for Shorts, TikTok, or Reels in about ten minutes. See pricing or the stickman animation guide.
