YouTube AI
Chapter Generator

Chapters are timestamped section markers YouTube shows on the video progress bar and in search results. They let viewers jump to what they want, which drives higher watch time and lower drop-off. YouTube also indexes chapter titles separately, so a well-chaptered video can rank for more long-tail queries.

The video is transcribed, then AI reads the transcript and finds real topic transitions — where you shift from intro to setup, from setup to demo, from demo to summary. Chapters land on genuine section breaks, not arbitrary time intervals.

Standard YouTube chapter format: `MM:SS Chapter Title` per line, first chapter at 00:00 (YouTube requires it), minimum 10 seconds between chapters (also YouTube's rule). You paste the block directly into the description — no reformatting.

Depends on video length. Under 5 minutes → 3–5 tight chapters. 5–15 minutes → 5–8. 15–30 minutes → 6–10. Over 30 minutes → 8–12 wider chapters. The AI picks a chapter gap that fits your video length, so nothing feels crammed or sparse.

Both work. Upload a local MP4 for maximum quality, or paste a YouTube URL and we'll pull the video for you — same result either way.

No. YouTube Shorts don't support chapters — they're a long-form feature. For Shorts, use TubeWizz's Shorts Maker to auto-clip your long video into vertical highlights instead.

Yes. The result screen lets you rename any chapter or shift its timestamp before you copy. Chapters aren't locked, they're a starting point you refine.
