YouTube timestamp generator
Create YouTube timestamp links, comment timestamps, embed links, and chapter lists in seconds. Paste a video link, set a time, and copy a link that starts at the exact second. Everything runs locally in your browser.
How the YouTube timestamp generator works
- Paste any YouTube link or 11 character video ID into the box above.
- Enter a start time as seconds, m:ss, or h:mm:ss, for example 1:30.
- Copy the ready-made share link, short link, embed link, or comment timestamp.
- To build chapters, add one timestamp and title per line starting at 0:00.
- Pick a description style to wrap your chapters into a ready to paste description with links and hashtags.
Example: a share link that ends with ?t=90 starts the video at 1:30.
