Turn a YouTube video into a blog post or social content
A YouTube video is also a script sitting in your upload — a blog post, a newsletter recap, or a handful of quotable lines for social, all buried in something you'd otherwise have to re-watch with a notepad to extract.
Paste the URL, export Markdown or TXT, and pull the paragraphs that actually matter instead of rewriting the episode from memory. Because the transcript carries segment-level timestamps, the web app's click-to-seek lets you jump straight to a specific line to confirm it reads the way you remember before you quote it — useful when you're deciding what to lead a post with.
- Markdown drops straight into most CMS and notes tools; TXT is fastest for quick copy-paste.
- Click-to-seek lets you verify a quote against the original moment before publishing it.
- Works the same for a single upload or a whole back catalog, since it's the same request either way.
YouTube specifics
- Typical length
- Widest range of any platform here — under a minute for Shorts, up to multi-hour lectures, podcasts, and livestream replays.
- Worth knowing
- Auto-captions are a real, extractable text track (not burned into the video image), but they're timed to a speech model, not to sentence boundaries, so segments can read short and choppy compared to a proper transcript.
Best formats for repurposing to blog and social
