How to use

1 Enter the video title and your main keyword.
2 Write two or three sentences about what the video covers.
3 Add timestamps, links, products and your social handles (all optional).
4 Click Generate, review the result and copy it into the description box in YouTube Studio.

The structure of a high-performing description

The first 150 characters show in search results and above the fold, so start with a hook that contains your keyword. Follow with a short summary of the video, then chapters (timestamps), then links to resources and your other videos, then social links and a subscribe call to action, and finish with one to three hashtags. This generator builds that exact structure.

Chapters: the easiest ranking win

Add at least three timestamps starting at 0:00 and YouTube turns them into chapters. Chapters show in search results, improve watch time by letting viewers jump to what they want, and give YouTube extra keywords for each section.

Keep a reusable template

Most channels reuse 70 percent of the description on every video (links, socials, disclaimers). Save the output of this tool as your template, then only change the hook, summary and timestamps for each upload.

Guides that use this tool

How to Add Chapters to YouTube Videos (and Why They Aren't Showing)
Add YouTube chapters by listing timestamps in the description: start at 0:00, at least 3 chapters, each 10+ seconds. Fix common errors and use chapters for SEO.

Questions

How long should a YouTube description be?

Between 200 and 300 words is a good target. The limit is 5,000 characters.

Where should the keyword go?

In the first sentence and once or twice naturally in the summary. Do not repeat it in every line.

How many hashtags can I add?

Up to three are shown above the title. More than 60 makes YouTube ignore all of them.

Should I add affiliate links?

Yes, with a short disclosure line. The generator adds one automatically if you include products.

Can I save my template?

Copy the output into a note. A saved-templates feature is on our roadmap.
