I Built a Free YouTube Chapter Generator (Because Descript Charges $15/month)

Stop paying $15 per month for Descript when you just need to add timestamps to your YouTube videos.

I was tired of Descript's subscription model — $15/month for a tool that basically just adds chapter timestamps to your videos. For creators who just need a few chapters here and there, that's ridiculous. And YouTube Studio's built-in chapter editor? You have to manually type each timestamp and title every time.

So I built something better.

YouTube Chapter/Timestamp Generator runs 100% in your browser.

What you get:

  • Add chapters with timestamp (MM:SS or HH:MM:SS) and title
  • Automatic duplicate timestamp detection
  • Out-of-order timestamp warnings
  • Download as .txt (YouTube-compatible format)
  • Copy to clipboard for instant paste into YouTube Studio
  • Real-time preview of your chapter list
  • Clean, fast, no-login interface
  • Works offline after first load
  • Free forever

No upload. No account. No subscription.

vs Descript: $15/month. vs YouTube Studio's manual editor: automation and validation. This is free.

Built for YouTubers who need chapters without the subscription.
