How to use the YouTube Description Generator

  1. Step 1: Describe your video

    Tell the YouTube description generator what your video covers, and add the keywords you want it to be found for.

  2. Step 2: Choose what to include

    Pick a tone and decide whether you want chapters, a call to action and hashtags. Placeholders like [your website] mark where to add your own links.

  3. Step 3: Copy, customise and publish

    Copy the description you like best, replace the placeholders and adjust the chapter times to match your video, then paste it into YouTube Studio.

Why YouTube descriptions matter

Your description helps YouTube understand what your video is about, which affects where it shows up in search and suggested videos. It also gives viewers the context, links and chapters they need to get the most out of your content.

Our free YouTube description generator writes descriptions that serve both: a keyword-rich opening, a clear summary, optional chapters and a call to action.

The anatomy of a great YouTube description

  • Opening lines (about 150 characters): a summary with your main keyword. This is what shows in search results and above "…more".
  • Summary: one to three short paragraphs about what viewers will learn or see, using related keywords naturally.
  • Chapters: timestamps starting at 0:00 that split your video into sections viewers can jump to.
  • Links: your website, related videos, playlists, products and social profiles.
  • Call to action: ask viewers to subscribe, comment or watch another video.
  • Hashtags: up to three relevant hashtags, which appear above your title.

How long should a YouTube description be?

YouTube descriptions can be up to 5,000 characters. You don't need to use them all, but a few hundred words gives YouTube more context and gives viewers useful information. Just make sure the first two lines work on their own.

PartGuideline
Maximum length5,000 characters
Visible before "…more"About the first 150 characters
ChaptersStart at 0:00, at least 3 chapters, each 10+ seconds
HashtagsFirst 3 show above the title; never more than 15

Adding chapters to your video

Chapters make longer videos easier to navigate and can appear in Google search results. To create them, list timestamps in your description, starting with 0:00. YouTube requires at least three chapters, each at least 10 seconds long. The generator suggests chapter titles based on your topic; update the times to match your edit.
