YouTube Description Generator

Build a complete YouTube video description — hook, chapters (timestamps), links, social handles, credits, disclaimer and hashtags — checked against YouTube’s rules.

About YouTube Description Generator

A good description helps viewers and search. This YouTube description generator assembles a clean description from simple fields: a two-line hook with your main keyword, more details, chapters (timestamps), useful links, social handles, a subscribe line, credits and an optional disclaimer such as not financial advice or affiliate links.

It checks the rules that often trip creators up: the 5,000-character limit, the ban on angle brackets, chapters that must start at 0:00 with at least three timestamps of 10 seconds or more, and how many hashtags you use. Copy the result straight into YouTube Studio.

How to use YouTube Description Generator

  1. Write a two-line hook with your main keyword.
  2. Add chapters as “0:00 Intro” lines, plus links and social handles.
  3. Pick a disclaimer if you need one and add hashtags.
  4. Fix any warnings, then copy the description into YouTube Studio.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add chapters to a YouTube video?

Put timestamps in the description, one per line. The first must be 0:00, there must be at least three, and each chapter must be at least 10 seconds long. This tool checks all three rules.

How many hashtags should I use?

Use 3–5 relevant ones. The first three appear above the video title. If a video has more than 60 hashtags, YouTube ignores all of them.

Why does YouTube reject my description?

Descriptions are limited to 5,000 characters and cannot contain the characters. Both are checked here.

How do I add timestamps to a YouTube description?

Write one per line in the Chapters box, like “0:00 Introduction”. Start with 0:00, add at least three and keep each chapter 10 seconds or longer.

Where do hashtags go in a YouTube description?

Anywhere in the description; this tool puts them at the end. The first three appear above your video title.
