Free YouTube Tools
Eleven small tools for the mechanical parts of running a channel. None of them need a login, and none of them are a trial of anything.
Thumbnails
The image is the highest-leverage thing on the page, and the hardest to judge at full size.
Thumbnail previewer
See how a thumbnail and title look next to real videos in search and the recommendation feed, at the size they actually render.
Thumbnail downloader
Pull the full-resolution thumbnail off any video in one click, which is the fastest way to study what already works in a niche.
Scene splitter
Find every scene change in a video file and save the sharpest frame of each scene, without uploading it.
Money and rates
What a channel earns, and what the people who help you run it cost.
Channel and video research
Public numbers on any channel or video, yours or a competitor's.
Links and embeds
Small mechanical jobs that are fiddly by hand and instant here.
Timestamp link generator
Build links that start at an exact moment, and clean HTML anchors to go with them.
Embed code generator
Custom embed code with autoplay, start time, loop, player controls and responsive sizing.
Subscribe link generator
A one-click auto-subscribe redirect link for your channel handle.
On camera and under the hood
Two for how you come across, one for anyone calling the API directly.
Speaking practice
Take a random topic, record 60 seconds, and get feedback on filler words, pace and clarity. Built for people who freeze on camera.
Audio quality checker
Check a video's sound before uploading: loudness against YouTube's level, clipping, background noise, silence and stereo problems, each with the fix.
API quota calculator
Work out YouTube Data API v3 quota usage across searches, uploads, lists and channel updates before you hit the ceiling.
