Content Repurposing Planner
List the pieces you can make from one YouTube video: a Short for each point, a pinned comment, a written post, an email and more. Free, no signup.
One for each point, up to this number.
Enter the name of your video, and its main points, to see the pieces you can make from it.
Good to know
- This tool plans the pieces. It does not cut video, make captions or post anything. You make each piece yourself.
- Short clips work best when they make sense without the rest of the video. Pick the points that do.
- YouTube Shorts are vertical and short. YouTube allows up to three minutes, and many are under a minute. Check YouTube Help for the current limits.
- Other short-video apps have their own rules and lengths, so check them before you export. Reusing a clip is fine, but change the opening line to suit where it is posted.
- Make fewer pieces and make them well. A few good ones are better than many that repeat the video.

About the Content Repurposing Planner
?What the repurposing planner does
You enter the name of a video and its main points, with times if you have them. The tool lists pieces you can make from that video, and for each one says what to do and how much work it is: a Short for each point, a pinned comment, a community post, a written post, an email, a playlist, and an audio version.
It plans only. It does not cut video, write captions, or post anywhere, and it does not predict how any piece will perform. Everything runs in your browser.

A pinned comment from your chapters
Paste your chapter list as the points.
Example:
The pinned comment lists each chapter with its time, so viewers can jump to it.
Only a few points
Two points and two Shorts.
Example:
The plan stays short, with two Shorts and the quick pieces, instead of padding the list.
