About SummarizeTube

SummarizeTube is an indie web tool that turns any YouTube video into a clean, timestamped summary. Paste a link and get the TL;DR, the key points, and the conclusions — fast.

Why we built it

Most "summary" tools paraphrase from thin context or make things up. We take the opposite approach: every bullet point is traced back to the video's real captions (or a transcript we generate when captions are missing). If a sentence isn't in the source, it doesn't appear in your summary.

How it works

We read the video's captions, send them to a language model, and structure the result into timestamped sections. A free account gives you 10 summaries a month on videos up to 30 minutes, plus a daily check-in worth 100 credits. A captioned video costs 5 credits, a no-caption video 10. Heavier users can upgrade for more.

Who we are

We're a small independent team shipping practical AI tools. SummarizeTube is supported by optional upgrades and advertising; we don't sell user data, and we don't keep your videos or summaries on our servers after a request completes.

Honesty over hype

A summary you can't trust is worse than no summary. That's why we ground every output in the source captions and show you where each point comes from. Questions or feedback? Reach us any time at support@summarizetube.com.
