YouTube timestamp link generator
Create a YouTube link or embed code that starts playback at an exact time.
YouTube timestamp link generator
Paste a YouTube video URL and a time — 1:23:45, 83m or 5000s all work — and this tool builds a link that opens the video already playing at that moment. It's the fastest way to point someone at the exact clip you mean, whether that's a highlight in a long stream, the punchline in a tutorial, or the section a comment is arguing about.
Choose a short youtu.be link or the long youtube.com/watch form for the plain timestamp link, or switch on the embed option to get an iframe snippet instead, with separate start and end times so a clip stops itself rather than playing on. The tool also normalizes whatever shape of URL you paste — a full watch link, a youtu.be short link, a Shorts URL, an embed URL, even a bare video ID — so you never have to hunt for the "real" link first.
For a whole set of chapters at once, paste a list of lines into the second field, each one a time followed by a description — "0:00 Intro", "1:20 - Setup", "83m: Wrap-up" — and the tool turns it into a ready-to-paste Markdown or HTML list, every line already linking to its own timestamp. That's the same structure a video description's chapter markers use, generated as clickable links instead.
Everything runs locally in your browser: the URL and times you type are never sent anywhere. Copy the result, download it as a .txt file, or send it to another tool's input to keep working on it.
