Chapters make a video easier to watch and give YouTube extra entry points in search results. Someone still has to write them, and that is the job of this YouTube chapter generator.
Upload the video or audio file you are about to publish, or paste in the transcript if you already have one. You get back a list in the “00:00 Title” format, ready to paste into the description.
We do not download videos from any platform: that goes against their terms of use. The file comes from you.

Frequently asked questions
How many chapters should there be?
YouTube requires at least three, the first one starting at 00:00, and each has to run for at least ten seconds. Eight to twelve works well for a twenty-minute video.
Can the titles be edited?
Of course, and it is recommended: the result is a starting point to refine, not a final text.
Do I need an account?
No, the tool works right away. An account is only needed to lift the daily limits.
Does the result carry a watermark?
Never. We add no mark of any kind to the files we produce, including on the free plan.
