YouTube description generator
Get a description whose first two lines work as a search snippet on their own, followed by the context, the list of what the video covers, and three hashtags that fit.
What a description is for
Two audiences read it: YouTube, deciding what the video is about, and a viewer deciding whether it is the right video. Both are served by the same thing — plain sentences that name the topic, the tools and the outcome, near the top.
The shape that works
- Two opening lines that stand alone as a summary.
- A short paragraph of context: who it is for, what it assumes.
- A list of what the video covers, so a skimmer can self-select.
- Links and chapters after that, where they do not compete with the summary.
What to leave out
Keyword stuffing, a paragraph about your channel, and a wall of hashtags. None of them move views, and the first can get a video demoted.
Descriptions that answer real questions
PostLink analyses the comments behind any video and shows what that audience wants covered — so your next description, title and video answer questions people are already asking.

What should the first two lines say?
Everything that matters. Those lines appear in search results and above the "more" fold, so they carry the summary — not a greeting, not a subscribe plea.
How long should a description be?
Long enough to describe the video honestly, usually 150 to 300 words. Length itself does nothing; specific words that match how people search do.
Do hashtags help?
Mildly. The first three appear above the title, so use them as labels for the topic rather than a wall of tags. More than three and YouTube ignores all of them.
Should I put timestamps in the description?
Yes when the video has sections. Plain timestamps starting at 0:00 become chapters automatically, which gives viewers entry points and shows up in search.
Is it free?
Two runs free, then it continues on a paid plan, because each generation costs model time.
