Free YouTube chapter generator
Drop a video or captions file, or paste a timestamped transcript, and get chapters ready for your YouTube description.
YouTube chapter generator questions
What format do YouTube chapters need?+
List timestamps and titles in the video description. The first timestamp is 0:00, there are at least three timestamps in ascending order, and each chapter is at least 10 seconds long. YouTube Help describes the same rules on its Video Chapters page.
Can I make chapters from a transcript without timestamps?+
No, chapters need times. Drop the video or its .srt or .vtt file and the times are added for you.
Is the chapter generator free?+
Yes, with no account. A dropped video never leaves your device; only its extracted audio is sent to be transcribed, and only the text goes to the AI that writes the chapters.
