How it works
- Paste the YouTube URL — or type xyz in front of any YouTube address.
- Pick a summary format: bullet points, executive, detailed, mind map, lecture notes or roadmap.
- Read the result, or copy it into your notes app. Output is plain text.
Which format should you pick?
- Bullet points
- A fast scan of what was covered. Best for deciding whether the video deserves your time.
- Executive summary
- The argument and its conclusion, without the examples. Best for talks and interviews.
- Detailed summary
- Section by section, closer to the original. Best when you need the substance but not the runtime.
- Mind map
- The structure rather than the detail. Best read before the notes, as an orientation pass.
- Lecture notes
- Headings, sub-points and definitions. Best for material you will revise from.
- Roadmap
- Ordered steps pulled out of a tutorial. Best for how-to content.
Frequently asked questions
Is the YouTube summarizer free?
Yes. You can run analyses without creating an account, subject to a per-visitor daily limit and a maximum video length. Signing up raises both.
Do I need an account?
No. Paste a link and run it. An account gives you more credits, longer videos and a history of your past analyses.
Which videos work?
Any public or unlisted YouTube video that has captions — auto-generated captions count. Videos without any transcript cannot be summarized, because there is no text to read.
Can it summarize a video in another language?
Yes. Summarization combines with translation across 70+ languages, so a lecture delivered in one language can come back summarized in yours.
How accurate is it?
The summary reflects the transcript, so it inherits the transcript's errors. Auto-captions mangle technical vocabulary and numbers in particular — check anything that carries weight against the recording.
