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 linkThumbnail 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 Cleaner
Paste a transcript copied from YouTube, or an SRT/VTT caption file, and get clean paragraphs without timestamps or [Music] tags.
Clean a transcriptHashtag 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:
Need the whole video, not a tool?
Paste the link into the summarizer and read the argument in a couple of minutes.
