Use a direct link to a video file that allows other sites to read it. Many links will not work, so uploading the file is more reliable.
Links to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or YouTube pages cannot be read. Download your own reel, or save a screen recording, and upload the file. Use only videos you own or have permission to use.

AI video tools read prompts differently, so expect a similar feel, not an exact copy. Shorten the prompt if your tool limits its length.
About This Tool
When a reel's look and pacing work, it helps to know why. Reel to Prompt studies a short video and writes the prompt that could produce something similar in an AI video generator. Your browser picks a handful of key frames from the video, the AI reads those frames, and you get an overall prompt, a timed shot list, notes on camera and pacing, any on-screen text it can read, and a suggested sound mood.
Only those small key frames are sent to the AI. The full video stays on your device, and the audio is never analysed, so the sound suggestion is based on the visuals alone. You can pick the AI video tool you plan to use (Sora, Veo, Runway, Kling or Pika) and the wording adjusts. Each scene has its own copy button, so you can use it as a single-shot prompt, and there is a button to copy everything at once.
An honest note: the AI sees still frames, not motion, so camera moves and pacing are its best reading of how the frames change. AI video tools also differ from each other and from run to run, so expect a similar feel rather than a copy. Use the tool on videos you own or have permission to use.
How to Use It
01
Add your reel (Mandatory)
Upload an MP4, MOV or WebM file of up to 60 seconds and 50 MB. Direct video links work only when the host allows it, so uploading is more reliable.
02
Check the key frames
The page shows the frames it picked, with their times. These are what the AI will look at.
03
Choose a tool and analyze
Pick the AI video tool you will use and press the button to get the prompt and shot list.
04
Copy and generate
Copy the whole prompt, or a single scene, and paste it into your AI video tool. Edit it freely, or try another version.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I paste an Instagram, Facebook or TikTok link?
No. Those pages cannot be read by tools like this, and scraping them is against their rules. Download your own reel, or save a screen recording, and upload the file.
Is my full video uploaded?
No. Your browser picks a few small key frames and only those are sent to Google's Gemini AI to write the prompt. PostPix does not save them. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Does it listen to the audio?
No. The audio is not analysed. The sound suggestion is inferred from the visuals only.
Will the new reel look the same?
It should have a similar look, mood and structure, but AI video tools generate something new each time. Treat the prompt as a strong starting point.
Why does my video not load?
Some formats, such as certain iPhone HEVC files, are not readable in every browser. Try an MP4 (H.264) export, keep it under 60 seconds, and keep the file under 50 MB.
Do I need to sign in?
No. Reel to Prompt is free to use without an account. For ideas, read our Reel to Prompt guide, or browse ready-made Reel Prompts.
