About YT Chapter Maker
Built by creators, for creators. Solving the daily frustration of broken YouTube timestamps.
Why We Built This Tool
If you have ever published a video on YouTube, you probably know the headache: you spend hours editing, write down your timestamp notes, paste them into your video description, and... nothing happens. The video progress bar doesn't show your chapters.
Why? Because YouTube has strict formatting rules that can easily catch you off guard:
- Forgot to start at
00:00? YouTube hides all your chapters. - Two timestamps are 9 seconds apart instead of 10? YouTube ignores them.
- Accidentally put timestamps out of order? The chapters break.
- Pasted notes with dashes, numbers, or messy punctuation? YouTube may fail to recognize them.
We created YT Chapter Maker to make this fast and effortless. You can paste any messy notes into the box, and the tool instantly cleans them up, fixes common mistakes, and gives you ready-to-copy chapters that work on YouTube every single time.
