YouTube Timestamp
Generator

Put a list of timestamps in your video description, one per line, in the format "0:00 Chapter title". Your first line must start at 0:00. Once you have at least three lines and each chapter is 10 seconds or longer, YouTube automatically turns them into a clickable chapter bar. This tool generates that whole list for you from your uploaded video, already formatted and in order.

Upload your video and the SEO Wizard transcribes the audio, finds the natural topic changes across the video, and writes a short title and a timestamp for each section. You get a clean chapter list back — no scrubbing through the video to note down times yourself.

Three requirements: (1) the first timestamp must be 0:00, (2) you need at least 3 timestamps, and (3) each chapter must be at least 10 seconds long. The generated timestamps follow all three, so they reliably activate the chapter bar when you paste them into your description.

YouTube uses m:ss for videos under an hour (e.g. 4:05) and h:mm:ss for longer ones (e.g. 1:04:05). The generator outputs the right format for your video length automatically, so you can paste it straight in.

They are the same underlying feature with different names for the same job — both turn your uploaded video into timestamped chapters via the SEO Wizard. Whichever page you land on, uploading a video gives you the same paste-ready chapter list plus the rest of your SEO metadata.

Yes. The same upload runs the full SEO Wizard, so along with your chapter timestamps you also get title suggestions, a written description, tags and thumbnail options — everything you need to publish, from one upload.

There is a free plan to start, so you can generate timestamps for your first videos at no cost. Chapters are produced by the SEO Wizard inside TubeWizz after you sign in.

Chapters make your video easier to navigate, which improves watch time and viewer satisfaction, and they can surface as key moments in Google and YouTube search. They also make long videos far less intimidating to click. For most tutorials, podcasts and long-form content they are well worth adding.
