TranscriptYTHow to turn a YouTube video into a blog post
- 1
Paste the video link
Tutorials, talks, podcasts, and explainers work best: anything with clear spoken content.
- 2
Write the post
The tool loads the transcript and an AI model turns it into an article with an intro, sections, and lists, plus an SEO title and meta description.

Edit and publish
Copy the Markdown into WordPress, Ghost, Notion, or your CMS, or download a .md file. Add your own voice, images, and a link back to the video.

Common questions
Is the YouTube to blog post converter free?
Yes. A few posts a day are free with no account, and signing in with Google raises the limit.
Is the article just the transcript?
No. It's rewritten as an article with headings and paragraphs, so it reads like a post instead of a recap of what someone said.
Is it good for SEO?
It gives you a solid first draft, a search-friendly title, and a meta description. Edit it, add your own insight, and embed the video: search engines reward original, useful pages.
Can I turn someone else's video into a blog post?
Summarizing and quoting with credit is common, but republishing someone's content as your own may infringe their copyright. Use it for your own videos, or cite and link the original.
What format is the output?
Markdown, which pastes cleanly into most editors. Download it as a .md file or copy it.
Can I convert videos in bulk?
Yes, with the TranscriptYT API: fetch a playlist's or channel's transcripts in one call and pass each to your own model and prompt.
