About this tool
Only the first lines of a YouTube description show before "more", so they need to name the topic and give a reason to watch. This generator writes three options for a Short caption or a long-video description, in the tone and call to action you choose. Hashtags and timestamps are left out so you can add them yourself.
How to use it
- Describe the video or Short in a sentence or two.
- Choose Short or long video, a tone and a call to action.
- Copy a description, add your links and hashtags, and paste it into YouTube Studio.
