YouTube to Blog Post
Turn a YouTube video into a written article. Get the transcript free, then draft a blog post from it with AI.
Free · No sign-up · Requires retrievable captions
Repurpose a video into an article
Video is a great format to record in and a poor format to search, cite, or skim. Turning your video into a blog post can make its ideas easier to discover and read. The transcript is the raw material.
Retrieve the available caption text free, then give it to an AI assistant with a clear brief: structure it into sections, tighten the language, and keep the substance. What comes back is a draft you edit, not a finished piece you publish blindly.
Caption text to start from
The video's retrievable spoken captions as clean text — source material you can check against the video.
Structure, not transcription
A transcript is chronological and rambling; a good AI pass turns it into sections with a real beginning, middle, and end.
Keep the timestamps for quotes
Preserve timecodes on anything you quote so the article stays verifiable against the source video.
Your voice, edited
Use the draft as a scaffold, fact-check it against the video, and rewrite it in your own words before publishing.

YouTube to blog post FAQ
Does it write the blog post for me?
It gives you the transcript free; drafting the article is a quick step with any AI assistant. Treat the output as a first draft to edit, not a finished post.
Can I use this for videos that aren't mine?
You can extract and summarize any public transcript, but respect copyright — repurposing someone else's video into your own published article without permission can be an infringement.
Do I need an account or an extension?
No account or extension is required for the public transcript tool, which is free and subject to rate and capacity limits. The JumpWatch Chrome extension is free to install; its AI summaries and chat require sign-in and follow your account's plan limits.
