Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about ViewRank AI and the ViewRank Chrome extension.
What is ViewRank AI?
How do I connect the ViewRank Chrome extension?
Step 1 — Connect the extension to your account
- Open Settings in ViewRank AI and copy your API key.
- Click the ViewRank icon in your Chrome toolbar, open the menu (⋮), and go to Settings.
- Paste your API key and save.
Step 2 — Sort videos, then send to your workspace
- Go to Instagram or TikTok and open a creator's video feed (Instagram Reels tab or TikTok Videos tab).
- Click the ViewRank extension and press Rank Now to sort their videos by views, likes, comments, and more.
- In the sorted results overlay, pick the videos you want and click ViewRank AI to send them to your workspace.
If you create a new API key later, paste the updated key into the extension too — the old one will stop working.
Which platforms can I import from?
With the ViewRank extension: Instagram Reels and TikTok.
Directly in your workspace: paste a public link or upload a file for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or MP4 videos (under 3 minutes). Uploads accept MP4, MOV, MP3, or WAV files up to 25 MB.
How do I add videos without the extension?
What are Projects and why do they matter?
How do transcriptions, ideas, and scripts work?
Open any saved reel in your workspace, then use the tabs inside:
- Transcription — turns the spoken audio into text you can read, copy, or study.
- Ideas — suggests new video concepts inspired by the reel, tailored to your selected project.
- Script — writes a full script based on an idea you choose.
Each action uses credits from your monthly plan. Check what's left anytime in Settings.
What is Visual Analysis?
What are the plan limits?
- Starter — 200 transcriptions, 500 ideas, 300 scripts, 30 visual analyses, and 3 projects per month.
- Pro — 600 transcriptions, 1,000 ideas, 600 scripts, 100 visual analyses, and unlimited projects per month.
See your current usage in Settings. Credits reset at the start of each billing month.
How do I upgrade or manage my subscription?
Reels aren't importing from the extension — what should I do?
- Make sure the API key in the ViewRank extension matches the one shown in Settings. If you regenerated your key, paste the new one into the extension.
- Confirm you're signed into ViewRank AI in the same browser you're using for Instagram or TikTok.
- Refresh the Instagram or TikTok page, open the creator's Reels or Videos tab, click Rank Now in the extension, then send from the sorted overlay.
- If sorting doesn't start, check that the extension is turned on in Chrome and you're on a profile's video feed — not a single reel page.
If imports still fail, email support with a screenshot of the page and we'll walk you through it.
Visual analysis is taking a long time — is that normal?
I can't log in or Settings won't load — what now?
Start with these simple fixes:
- Refresh the page and sign in again.
- Try a private/incognito window to rule out an old login session.
- Log out, close every ViewRank AI tab, then open the app fresh.
If Settings or your dashboard still won't load, email support with your account email and a screenshot of any error message you see.
