FAQ

YouTube summarizer questions

How does it summarize a video?
It reads the video's transcript (captions), identifies the most important segments, and condenses them into key points with the timestamps where each is discussed.
Does the video need captions?
Yes — the summarizer works from the transcript, so the video needs captions (most do, auto-generated or manual). Videos without any captions can't be summarized.
How long a video can I summarize?
Anonymous users can summarize up to 20-minute videos, 3 a day. A free account raises that to 30 minutes unlimited; Pro handles up to 2-hour videos with chapter detection and transcript download.
Which languages work?
Any video with captions in a supported language. English works best; many other languages are supported on Pro.
Is anything stored?
No — summaries are generated on demand and not retained.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — the layout is fully responsive.
