YouTube to LinkedIn Post

Paste a YouTube link and get a LinkedIn post written from the video: a hook that works before “see more”, the key takeaways, and hashtags.

How to turn a YouTube video into a LinkedIn post

  1. 1

    Paste the video link

    Webinars, talks, interviews, and tutorials work best.

  2. 2

    Write the post

    The tool reads the transcript and an AI model writes a 150-300 word post with a hook, short paragraphs, and 3-5 hashtags.

  3. 3

    Edit and share

    Add your own take, copy it into LinkedIn, and post the video link as the first comment.

Repurpose YouTube videos for LinkedIn

Your webinars, talks, and tutorials already contain the insights that do well on LinkedIn. This free AI generator reads the video's transcript and turns its most useful takeaways into a post you can edit and share.

Built for how LinkedIn is read

The first line is a hook that works before the feed cuts it off, the body is short paragraphs that read well on a phone, and it ends with a question that invites comments.

Add your voice

Treat it as a first draft. A sentence about why it mattered to you, or what you'd add, is what turns a summary into a post people engage with.

Common questions

Is the YouTube to LinkedIn post generator free?

Yes. A few posts a day are free with no account, and signing in with Google raises the limit.

How long is the post?

150-300 words, well under LinkedIn's 3,000-character limit, with a first line short enough to show before the "see more" cut.

Should I put the video link in the post?

LinkedIn tends to show posts with outside links to fewer people, so many creators put the link in the first comment instead.

Can I use it for webinars and podcasts?

Yes. Any video with captions works, including long webinars and podcast episodes on YouTube.

Does it work in other languages?

Yes. The post is written in the video's language.

Can I generate posts in bulk?

Yes, with the TranscriptYT API: fetch transcripts for a playlist or channel and pass each one to your own model and prompt.
