Frequently Asked Questions

What is YouTube Utils?

YouTube Utils is a free, AI-powered YouTube toolkit. Paste any YouTube URL to extract transcripts, generate summaries, create study notes, take quizzes, download thumbnails, loop videos, and more. It's designed for students, researchers, and YouTube power users.

Is YouTube Utils free to use?

Yes, all tools are completely free. AI-powered tools (Summary, Notes, Quiz, KeyMoments, ShortsClipper) have a generous free tier of 5 uses per day. Non-AI tools (Transcript, Subtitles, Thumbnails, Loop, WatchCalc, QuoteClip) are unlimited.
