Free AI YouTube Video Summarizer
Paste a YouTube link or type the video title. If we have already summarized it, you read the key points right now, free. If not, a free account gets it summarized for you.
Every YouTube link format works: watch, youtu.be, Shorts, live, and embeds.
How it works
Paste a YouTube link
Any link shape works: a watch URL, a youtu.be share link, a Short, or a live stream. Or just type the title.
We check our library
We match the video against everything Yedapo has already summarized. If it is there, the summary is one click away.
Read it, or queue it
Read existing summaries free. If the video is not covered yet, a free account lets you summarize it yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Is the YouTube video summarizer really free?
Yes. Every summary that already exists on Yedapo is free to read, with no account. Generating a new summary for a video we have not covered needs a free account, which includes 3 new summaries per day.
Which YouTube link formats work?
All the common ones: youtube.com/watch links, youtu.be share links, Shorts, live streams, and embed URLs. The tool extracts the video id and matches it against our library.
Do I need to install an extension?
No. Everything runs in the browser on this page. There is nothing to install and nothing to grant access to.
What is in a video summary?
Key takeaways, the core concepts explained in plain language, and a chapter breakdown with timestamps so you can jump to the part you need. The Ask AI feature answers follow-up questions with citations to the exact moment in the video.
Does it work for long videos and interviews?
Yes. Long-form content is where a summary earns its keep: a three-hour interview becomes a few minutes of reading, with timestamps back into the full video when you want the source.
