YouTube description generator

Fill in a few boxes and get a tidy, well-structured description that puts your keyword up front and formats chapters correctly.

How to use the YouTube description generator

  1. Enter the title, keyword and a short summary.
  2. Add key points, chapters (one per line, like 1:20 Setup) and links if you have them.
  3. Copy the description into YouTube Studio and adjust the wording.

When it's useful

  • Adding clickable chapters to a long video
  • Keeping every description in the same format
  • Remembering to include links and a call to action

Limits to know

  • The text is assembled from what you type — it doesn't watch or understand your video.
  • YouTube needs at least three chapters, the first at 0:00, each at least 10 seconds long; 0:00 is added automatically when missing.

Your privacy

Everything is worked out in your browser. What you type isn't uploaded, saved or shared, and there's no sign-up.

Questions

How do YouTube chapters work?

List timestamps in the description starting at 0:00, at least three of them. YouTube turns them into sections on the progress bar.

How many hashtags should I use?

Two to five relevant hashtags. YouTube ignores all hashtags when there are more than 15.
