Chapter Generator
Turn any video’s transcript into YouTube chapters, then add them to the description in one click.
How does VidStats Pro accelerate your YouTube channel growth?
Our Pro suite tools perform real-time data calculations validated for 100% precision using official YouTube API v3 endpoints.
- 0:00 Starts right: The list always opens at 0:00 with 3+ chapters at least 10 seconds apart, the rules YouTube checks.
- Real Transcript timestamps: Chapter starts are taken from the captions, so each one lands where that topic begins.
- 1-Click Into your description: On your own videos, VidStats adds them to the description and backs up the previous version.
What's included
Chapters that follow what you actually say
Every timestamp comes from the video’s own captions, and every rule YouTube checks is enforced for you.
Transcript-based chapters
Reads the video’s captions (auto-captions work) and splits it where each topic really starts.
YouTube’s rules, enforced
First chapter at 0:00, at least three, each 10+ seconds long, all in order: otherwise YouTube ignores them.
Searchable titles
Short, specific chapter names that match how people search, which also feed Google’s “key moments”.
Edit before you publish
Rename any chapter inline; the description preview updates as you type.
Replaces old lists in place
Already have timestamps? The new list replaces them where they are instead of adding a second copy.
Apply or copy
Push the new description to your own video, or copy the chapter list for any video.
Also inside YouTube
Open the ✦ Pro button in the VidStats Chrome extension’s Studio Dock on any video: click a chapter to jump there, or add them to your own video’s description.

Frequently Asked Questions: How does Chapter Generator work?
Everything you need to know before getting started.
YouTube shows chapters on the progress bar and in search, and Google can show them as “key moments” in its results. Specific chapter titles give both more words to match searches against.
