Convert YouTube videos into articles that rank on ChatGPT.
YouTube to Article turns any public YouTube video into a 750-word publishable post. We fetch the captions, restructure them with Gemini, hand you back HTML, Markdown, JSON-LD, and the embed. Same workflow for one-off posts and for a whole playlist on auto-publish.

How it works
Send the YouTube URL
POST { url } to /api/v1/youtube-to-article/generate with your Bearer key. Or paste in the WordPress editor. Or call generate_youtube_article from Claude over MCP.
We pull captions, Gemini rewrites
Captions come from YouTube's own timedtext endpoint (no API quota). Gemini restructures the transcript into a clean intro, 3-5 sections, and a conclusion in your chosen tone.
Get HTML, Markdown, JSON-LD
Returned in one call. HTML drops into a post body, Markdown into Notion or Substack, JSON-LD into your <head> for AI-search citations. Original YouTube embed pinned at the top.
What ships with every article
Captions, not video tokens
We pull the existing YouTube caption track instead of streaming the video to a multimodal model. Same article, 10x cheaper to generate, which is why we can offer real freemium without bleeding margin.
Concept rewrite with Gemini
Transcripts come back stuttery and time-coded. Gemini restructures them into clean intro, 3-5 H2 sections, and a conclusion that reads like editorial writing, not a stitched-together transcript. Choose neutral, analytical, or conversational tone.
Embed kept in place
Every generated article ships with the original YouTube embed at the top. Readers watch if they want; readers who hate video read instead. Both serve the same SEO surface.
WordPress plugin
Download our plugin .zip, upload via wp-admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload, activate, set your API key. Paste a YouTube URL inside the editor and the article fills in. (Not on the WP marketplace — we ship directly so updates land same-day.)
Playlist auto-publish (coming soon)
Subscribe to a YouTube playlist or channel and new videos auto-generate an article on publish. Built on the same auto-publish infrastructure that powers our RSS connector, with the same editorial-review gate and per-feed monthly caps.
MCP for AI workflows
Same generator exposed as the generate_youtube_article MCP tool. Connect once in Claude.ai / Cursor / Windsurf and your agent can turn a video URL into a post draft via natural language.
Pricing
One article = one credit. Three free per month, no card. Unused credits don't roll over.
