How to structure a YouTube description

  1. Hook (first two lines): say what the viewer gets and include your main keyword. This is the only part most people read, and it often shows in search.
  2. Summary: a short list or paragraph of what the video covers, written for people, not for search engines.
  3. Call to action: one clear next step, like a free download or a newsletter, with its link.
  4. Chapters: timestamps that split the video into sections on the progress bar and can appear in Google results.
  5. Links, socials and about: resources you mention, where to follow you and a line about the channel.
  6. Hashtags: two to five at the very end.

YouTube's rules at a glance

  • Descriptions can be up to 5,000 characters and can't contain < or >.
  • Chapters need a first timestamp of 0:00, at least three timestamps in order, and 10 seconds or more each.
  • The first three hashtags show above the title; more than 15 and all of them are ignored.
  • Misleading descriptions and keyword stuffing break YouTube's spam policies.

How it works

How to use it

  1. Step 1

    Add the video basics

    Enter the video title, a few keywords and the main points the video covers. Choose whether you speak as 'I' or 'we'.

  2. Step 2

    Add chapters, links and a call to action

    Type your timestamps, the links you mention, your social profiles and what you want viewers to do next. Chapters are checked against YouTube's rules as you type.

  3. Step 3

    Check the preview and copy

    See how the first lines look above '...more', check the character count and hashtags, then copy the description or download it as a text file.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about the YouTube Description Generator.

Up to 5,000 characters. Only the first two or three lines (roughly the first 150 characters) show before viewers tap '...more', and the same opening text often appears in search results, so put the hook and the most important link there.

YouTube only creates chapters when the first timestamp is 0:00, there are at least three timestamps in ascending order, and each chapter is at least 10 seconds long. Automatic chapters can also be turned off in YouTube Studio. The generator checks these rules and leaves chapters out until they pass.

Two to five relevant hashtags are plenty. The first three hashtags in the description appear above the video title (unless the title has its own hashtags). If a video has more than 15 hashtags, YouTube ignores all of them, so the tool warns you when you go over.

No. YouTube rejects descriptions that contain angle brackets, so the generator removes them from your text.

Yes, naturally. Mention your main topic in the first sentence and a few related phrases once. Long lists of keywords or tags pasted into a description break YouTube's spam policies and can get a video removed.

No. It assembles your inputs into a proven description layout with a few hook variations, and checks YouTube's limits. It's free, instant and nothing you type is uploaded.
