Free tools for YouTube creators

Small things that do one job properly. No account, no upload, no trial that turns into a subscription.

Timestamp Link A link that starts at the exact moment, in the format that actually works. Embed Code Generator The iframe, responsive by default, with privacy mode and an end time. Channel Name Generator Names with a matching @handle, and a check on whether it is already taken. Channel Analytics Any channel's last fifty uploads ranked, with Shorts counted separately. Best Time to Post The hours that worked for a channel, from its own uploads. Playlist Length How long a playlist runs, and how long it takes at 1.5x. Thumbnail Downloader Grab any video's thumbnail in every size YouTube stores, up to 1280×720. Channel ID Finder Get any channel's UC… ID from a URL, an @handle, or one of its videos. Channel Finder Search channels by name or topic and compare their numbers side by side. Tags Extractor See the tags a creator actually used on any video, and copy them in one click.

What this is

Most YouTube tool sites make you sign up, then meter what used to be free, then email you forever. ytkit is the opposite of that. Each tool is a single page that does its job the moment you land on it.

Where a tool can run entirely in your browser, it does, which means the thing you paste never reaches us and there is nothing on our side to log or leak. The thumbnail downloader works this way: your browser talks straight to YouTube's public image servers.

Paid, if you want it

The tools above are free and stay free. If you also want to give a video or a channel a push, these four pages are the only paid thing on the site. No subscription, no password, and each page says plainly what the product does and what it does not.

Buy viewsHigh quality views on one video, paced rather than dumped. Buy subscribersNon-drop subscribers on a channel, delivery within the hour. Buy watch hoursNon-drop watch hours on a long video. Read the one-hour rule first. Buy likesPremium likes on one video. Keep the ratio believable.

Missing something?

If the tool you need is not here, ask for it. If it is useful to more than one person we build it free, and if it is specific to you we can build it on commission.

What is coming next

More tools are being built in this order: a tag generator, a money calculator and a comment picker. This page will list them as they go live.

The same idea elsewhere

We run ttkit.io for TikTok and tgkit.io for Telegram. Same approach, different platform: small free tools that do one job, no account to open and nothing that turns into a subscription.
