Free YouTube timestamp generator

Paste a YouTube link. Get AI chapters with clickable timestamps and a line on what each covers, free, with no signup.

Free · No signup · Works with any public video that has captions

  • Chapters where topics change

    Found from what's said, not fixed intervals.

  • Clickable timestamps

    Each one jumps the video to that moment.

  • A line per chapter

    So you can skim a long video before watching it.

This tool gives you the timestamps. LunaNotes gives you the rest.

LunaNotes is an AI note-taking app: bring a video, a PDF, an audio file, a meeting or your own writing, and it becomes a note you can edit, study, revise and ask questions of. The free tool stops where that work starts.

  • A structured note, not a wall of text

    Headings, hierarchy, and the details that matter — editable the moment it lands, and searchable forever after.

  • A diagram of how it connects

    Turn the note into a concept map or flowchart. The relationships prose hides become obvious.

  • Flashcards that test your material

    Generated from your own note, so revision starts from something you've already processed.

Start for free

Free plan: 1,000 AI credits a month, 5 diagrams, 5 flashcard decks. No credit card.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add timestamps to a YouTube video?

Paste the video's link above and press Generate timestamps. You get a chapter list with start times. If it's your video, put the list in the description, starting at 00:00, and YouTube turns it into chapters.

How does the AI decide where chapters go?

It reads the video's transcript and starts a new chapter where the topic changes, then titles and describes each one. A clearly structured talk gives cleaner chapters than a loose conversation.

Can I get chapter titles in another language?

Yes. Pick one of 12 languages under the link and the titles and descriptions are written in it.

How long does it take?

Usually under two minutes. If the video has been processed before, you go straight to the result.

Is it really free? Do I need to sign up?

Yes, it's free, and no. Paste a link and you get the timestamps without an account, an email address or a credit card.

Which videos does it work with?

Any public YouTube video that has captions, either the creator's own or YouTube's auto-generated ones. Private, members-only and age-restricted videos can't be read, and a video with no captions at all has nothing to work from.

What is LunaNotes?

LunaNotes is an AI note-taking app. You bring a video, PDF, audio file, meeting or your own writing, and it gives you an editable note plus diagrams, flashcards and an AI chat built from it. This tool runs one step of that on its own. The free plan includes 1,000 AI credits a month, with no credit card.

Can I edit the timestamps?

The page here is a fixed public result. To rename, reorder and write your own notes against each timestamp, open the video in a free LunaNotes account.
