Frequently asked questions
How does the YouTube to blog post converter work?
It reads the video’s transcript (its captions), then an AI model rewrites what is said as an article: a title, an introduction, sections with headings, and a conclusion. It only uses what the video says.
Is it free?
Yes, for a few videos a day, with no account. To convert many videos, build the same thing on the YouTube transcript API and a model of your choice on one API key.
Which videos can I convert?
Public YouTube videos that have captions, written by the uploader or generated by YouTube. Most talks, tutorials, interviews and podcasts have them.
Can I publish the blog post?
The text is yours to edit and use, but the ideas come from the video: publish posts about your own videos, or get the creator’s permission and credit and link the original video.
Which language is the post written in?
The language the video is in: the post is written from its own captions.
