YouTube Description Generator
Creating a professional, well-structured YouTube description from scratch takes time. The free YouTube Description Generator by Amaze SEO Tools provides a ready-made template with seven customizable sections — toggle on the parts you need, fill in your details, and generate a polished description in one click.
Amaze SEO Tools offers a free YouTube Description Generator that builds complete, structured video descriptions using a modular template system.
A well-crafted YouTube description does more than summarize your video. It boosts your SEO ranking, provides viewers with useful links and timestamps, promotes your brand and social profiles, and encourages engagement. Yet most creators either leave the description box empty or write a single sentence — missing out on significant discovery and monetization opportunities.
Our Description Generator eliminates the blank-page problem. The tool presents seven pre-built sections that cover everything a professional YouTube description should include — from the video summary and timestamps to product links, social handles, and website URLs. Each section comes with placeholder text showing you exactly what to write. Simply toggle on the sections you want, customize the text, and click Generate to produce a complete, copy-ready description.
Sections in the YouTube Description Generator
The tool is organized into seven modular sections, each with a colored header bar, a toggle switch to enable or disable it, a brief instruction line explaining its purpose, and an editable text area pre-filled with placeholder content. You can turn any section on or off depending on what your video needs.
1. About the Video
Purpose: A detailed explanation of what the video covers, including important keywords for SEO.
The placeholder text reads:
"Hi, thanks for watching our video about {your video}! In this video, we'll walk you through: - {Topic 1} - {Topic 2} - {Topic 3}"
Replace the placeholders with your actual video topic and the key points you cover. This is the most important section for YouTube SEO because the first 1-2 lines appear in search results and above the "Show more" fold. Front-load your primary keywords here for maximum visibility.
2. Timestamps
Purpose: A breakdown of the main sections of your video by time, functioning like a table of contents with clickable links to specific moments.
The placeholder text reads:
"TIMESTAMPS — 0:00 Intro — 1:00 First Topic Covered — 1:30 Second Topic Covered — 2:30 Third Topic Covered"
Replace these with your video's actual timestamps. When formatted correctly (e.g., 0:00, 1:30, 10:45), YouTube automatically converts them into clickable chapter links. This improves viewer experience, increases watch time, and enables YouTube's chapter feature in the video player progress bar.
3. About the Channel
Purpose: Briefly explain the type of content you publish on your channel.
The placeholder text reads:
"ABOUT OUR CHANNEL — Our channel is about {topic}. We cover lots of cool stuff such as {topic}, {topic} and {topic}. Check out our channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel — Don't forget to subscribe!"
Customize this with your channel's niche, content themes, and your actual channel link. Including a subscribe reminder and channel link in every description reinforces your brand and encourages new viewers to explore more of your content.
4. Other Recommended Videos / Playlists
Purpose: Link to your other videos or playlists to keep viewers on your channel longer.
The placeholder text reads:
"CHECK OUT OUR OTHER VIDEOS — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video1 — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video2 — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video3"
Replace these with actual links to your related videos or playlists. Cross-linking your own content in the description increases session duration and helps YouTube's algorithm recommend more of your videos to the same viewer.
5. About Our Products & Company
Purpose: Promote your products, services, or company with direct links.
The placeholder text reads:
"We sell these excellent products. Check them out here: — https://www.website.com/product1 — https://www.website.com/product2 — https://www.website.com/product3"
Ideal for businesses and creators who sell physical products, digital courses, software, or merchandise. Replace the placeholder URLs with your actual product or affiliate links. This section turns every video into a potential sales funnel.
6. Our Website
Purpose: Direct viewers to your website or blog.
The placeholder text reads:
"FIND US AT — https://www.website.com/"
Replace with your actual website URL. Placing your website link in every video description creates a consistent traffic pipeline from YouTube to your site, which is especially valuable for bloggers, business owners, and anyone building an online presence beyond YouTube.
7. Contact & Social
Purpose: Share your contact information and social media profiles so viewers can connect with you across platforms.
The placeholder text reads:
"GET IN TOUCH — Contact us at info@company.com — FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL — Get updates or reach out to Get updates on our Social Media Profiles! — Twitter: https://twitter.com/{profile} — Facebook: https://facebook.com/{profile} — Instagram: https://twitter.com/{profile} — Spotify: https://spotify.com/{profile}"
Replace each placeholder with your real email address and social media links. Including social profiles in your description builds a multi-platform audience and gives viewers multiple ways to follow and interact with you beyond YouTube.
Toggle Switches
Each section has a toggle switch in the top-right corner of its header bar. When the toggle is ON (blue), that section will be included in the generated description. When OFF, it's excluded entirely. This modular approach lets you build descriptions that match each video's specific needs — not every video requires product links or timestamps, for example.
Action Button
Generate (Blue Button)
After customizing the sections you need and completing the reCAPTCHA, click "Generate" to compile all active sections into a single, formatted YouTube description. The output is ready to copy and paste directly into YouTube Studio's description box when uploading or editing your video.
How to Use YouTube Description Generator – Step by Step
- Open the YouTube Description Generator on the Amaze SEO Tools website.
- Review all seven sections and decide which ones your video needs. Toggle OFF any sections that aren't relevant.
- Edit the placeholder text in each active section — replace {your video}, {topic}, timestamps, URLs, and social links with your actual information.
- Complete the reCAPTCHA by checking the verification box.
- Click "Generate" to produce your complete description.
- Copy the generated description and paste it into YouTube Studio when uploading or editing your video.
Tips for Writing Effective YouTube Descriptions
- Front-load keywords in the first two lines — YouTube displays only the first 1-2 sentences before the "Show more" fold. Make these lines keyword-rich and compelling since they also appear in search result snippets.
- Use proper timestamp formatting — Write timestamps as 0:00, 1:30, or 10:45 (not "one minute" or "around the 2 min mark"). Correct formatting triggers YouTube's automatic chapter feature in the player.
- Include a call to action — Ask viewers to like, comment, subscribe, or visit a link. Descriptions with clear CTAs consistently outperform those without.
- Add 1-3 hashtags at the end — Placing a few relevant hashtags at the bottom of your description makes them appear as clickable links above your video title for additional discoverability.
- Keep affiliate and promo links organized — Label each link clearly (e.g., "Camera I use:" or "My online course:") so viewers know what they're clicking on.
- Create a reusable template — The sections that stay the same across videos (About the Channel, Social Links, Website) can be saved as your standard template. Only the video-specific sections (About the Video, Timestamps) need updating per upload.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is the YouTube Description Generator free?
A: Yes. All seven sections and the full generation feature are free on Amaze SEO Tools — no sign-up or payment involved.
Q: Do I have to use all seven sections?
A: No. Each section has a toggle switch. Turn on only the sections that are relevant to your video and leave the rest off. The generator only includes active sections in the final output.
Q: Can I edit the placeholder text?
A: Absolutely. Every text area is fully editable. Replace the placeholder content with your own video details, links, timestamps, and social profiles before generating.
Q: What are the toggle switches for?
A: Each toggle controls whether that section appears in your final generated description. Blue (ON) means included; OFF means excluded. This lets you customize the description structure for each individual video.
Q: How do I make timestamps clickable on YouTube?
A: Format them as numbers with colons (e.g., 0:00, 1:30, 10:45) and ensure the first timestamp starts at 0:00. YouTube automatically converts properly formatted timestamps into clickable chapter links in both the description and the video player.
Q: Can I save my description as a template for future videos?
A: The tool doesn't store templates between sessions, but you can copy the generated description into a text file or note-taking app and reuse it as your base template for future uploads — just update the video-specific sections each time.
Q: How is this different from the YouTube Description Extractor?
A: The Description Extractor pulls the existing description from someone else's video using its URL. The Description Generator helps you create a brand-new, structured description for your own video from scratch using customizable templates. Use the Extractor for research and the Generator for your own uploads.
