Free YouTube Tools
Small, single-purpose tools for working with YouTube videos: link to an exact second, grab a thumbnail, clean up a pasted transcript, or see how long a video really takes. They run in your browser, need no account, and send nothing to us.
YouTube Video Summarizer
Paste a link and get a TL;DR, key takeaways, timestamped chapters and full notes, generated from the video's transcript.
Summarize a videoTimestamp Link Generator
Turn any video and a time like 12:34 into a link that starts playing at that exact second — for sharing, notes or embeds.
Make a timestamp linkShorts Maker
Paste a long video and get the moments that stand alone as Shorts — exact in and out points, a hook, a title and hashtags for each.
Find the clipsShorts Thumbnail Downloader
A Short’s thumbnail as the full vertical image, up to 1080×1920 — not the 16:9 crop the usual addresses return.
Get the thumbnailThumbnail Downloader
See every thumbnail size YouTube publishes for a video, from 1280×720 down to 120×90, and open any of them full size.
Get thumbnailsTranscript Generator
Paste a link and get the video’s captions as readable paragraphs, clickable timestamps, or an .srt/.vtt subtitle file.
Get a transcriptTranscript Cleaner
Paste a transcript copied from YouTube, or an SRT/VTT caption file, and get clean paragraphs without timestamps or [Music] tags.
Clean a transcriptComment Generator
The comment you pin under your own video, faster replies, and a comment mockup for a thumbnail. Nothing gets posted anywhere.
Write a commentChannel Bio Generator
Four bios from one set of facts, each leading with something different, with the 1,000-character limit and the cut-off point shown.
Write a bioDescription Generator
Fill in what the video covers and get a description in the order YouTube reads it — opening line, chapters that actually work, links and hashtags.
Write a descriptionHashtag Generator
Build a hashtag set from your topic, and see which hashtags videos in your niche actually use. Keeps you under YouTube’s limit of 15.
Build a setTitle Generator
Describe the video and get titles worth using, filtered by angle, with a checker for length, keyword position and hype.
Write a titleTags Extractor
See every tag behind a public video, with character counts against YouTube's 500-character limit, then copy or download the ones you want.
Extract tagsWatch vs Read Calculator
Enter a video's length and compare watching it at 1×, 1.5× and 2× with reading its transcript instead.
Compare the timesWhat runs where
The four small tools above do all their work in your browser. A link you paste into the timestamp generator, or a transcript you paste into the cleaner, never leaves the page. The thumbnail tool loads images straight from YouTube's own image server, the same way the YouTube site does.
The summarizer is the one exception, because it needs the video's transcript and a language model. It sends the video link to our server, which fetches the captions and writes the summary. It never receives anything you type into the tools on this page.
Guides for specific outputs
If you already know what you want from a video, these pages show how to get it from a summary and where each format helps:
