Frequently asked questions

What makes YouTube turn timestamps into clickable chapters?+

Your description needs at least 3 timestamps, the first one must be 0:00, they must be in ascending order, and each chapter needs to be at least 10 seconds long. This tool formats them correctly, but you're responsible for the actual timing.

Can I use this for a video without chapters?+

Yes — just leave the chapters box empty and use it purely to format your summary and outro.
