About YouChop
Useful structure for long YouTube videos.
YouChop turns public video transcripts into navigable chapters and reusable text. It is built for viewers who need the right moment and creators who want searchable timestamps without chaptering an entire catalog by hand.
What is available
The free web chapterizer accepts a public YouTube URL and returns editable timestamps. The channel-to-text tool extracts public transcript text from a video, playlist, or channel workflow. The browser extension code adds transcript and chapter controls on YouTube, but the extension is not currently listed in the Chrome Web Store.
For creators, YouChop offers a one-time $99 back-catalog pack for up to 200 videos. The creator reviews and publishes the delivered timestamps; YouChop does not post to a channel on the creator's behalf.
Who operates it
YouChop is operated by Adam Pangelinan, also known as Adam Pang, through Anchor Marianas LLC and the adam.inc portfolio. Product, support, and creator-service requests go directly to the operator rather than an anonymous support queue.
YouChop is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube.
How the product is built
The public site is a static web application hosted on Vercel. Its server endpoints read public YouTube metadata and transcripts through configured providers, then use either a deterministic chaptering path or Anthropic when that chapter engine is enabled. The interface keeps outputs editable so a person remains responsible for what gets copied or published.
