The free tools, explained

CreaMate ships five tools that are free, need no signup, and run entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste or upload leaves your device. This page covers what each one is for and when to reach for it.

Script timer

Open the script timer. Paste a script, see how long it takes to say out loud as you type. Three pace presets (slow / conversational / fast) and per-platform sweet spots for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Use it before filming — a script that runs 70 seconds when the plan was 30 is cheaper to fix in text than in the edit.

Words to minutes

Open words to minutes. Same engine, different job: speeches, presentations, voiceovers. Answers the "how many words is a 5-minute talk" class of question, with a cheat-sheet table from 30 seconds to 10 minutes.

TikTok safe zone checker

Open the safe zone checker. Drop in a cover or frame and see exactly what TikTok, Reels, and Shorts UI will cover — caption block, action rail, progress bar. Your image is processed locally and never uploaded. The companion safe zone guide has the 2026 margin numbers if you'd rather design to specs.

Engagement rate calculator

Open the engagement rate calculator. Likes, comments, shares, saves in; engagement rate out — both the by-followers version brands use and the by-views version that tells you the truth about content quality. Benchmarks included. The formula guide explains when to quote which number.

Brand deal rate calculator

Open the rate calculator. A transparent starting range for sponsored-post pricing based on your averages, not your best post. Pair it with the guide on pricing your first brand deal before you reply to that DM.

Why free, with no signup wall?

Ten-second utilities shouldn't cost an email address. If the free tools are useful, some people will eventually want the workspace — where the same thinking gets applied to generating your actual content. That trade works for us; no tricks needed.
