What this tool does not do / Limits
This tool builds timestamps from an outline you paste. It does not connect to YouTube, does not read, open or analyse any video, and does not access any account. Chapter lengths are the fixed minutes you enter, not measured from a real video, so adjust them to the finished video before publishing.
Frequently asked questions
Can it fetch chapters from one of my videos?
No. It has no connection to any platform or account. Paste your own outline and it formats the timestamps for you to copy.
What if my chapters have different lengths?
Enter the most common length, generate the list, then edit the individual timestamps by hand before you publish them.
