Use one eligible website tool a week without an account, or three a week after signing in, shared across the toolbox. Free uses refill every Monday at 00:00 UTC, and failed runs don’t count. YouTool Pro removes the weekly limit with a one-time payment.

No. YouTool Pro is one payment for the website, connected-channel features, and Pro extension integrations. See Pricing for the current server-verified offer.

YouTool Pro provides access to digital online tools, so purchases are final and we do not offer discretionary refunds, including for a change of mind or unused access. Try the available free trial before purchasing. Refunds required by applicable law remain available, and a founding-price checkout completed after the promotional deadline is automatically refunded. Contact support for billing errors, unauthorized charges, or missing access.

Sign in with the same Google account used at checkout, on the website or in the extension. Pro access follows that YouTool account; you do not need to purchase separately for each device. If access does not appear after payment confirmation, contact support with your receipt reference. Never send card details.

A successful qualifying founding-price purchase before January 1, 2027 at 00:00 UTC grants the Founding Member badge. Registering an account alone does not qualify. Later Pro buyers receive the Pro Member badge and the same Pro feature access.

Access activates after Stripe confirms payment. Give confirmation a moment, then refresh your account page. Contact support if access remains missing; do not buy again. A founding checkout completed after the deadline is refunded automatically. Full refunds and payment disputes revoke the related access.

Basic customization, loop, appearance, playback controls, screenshots, and other simple conveniences remain free. Toolbox actions and advanced Studio integrations require YouTool Pro.

YouTube frequently updates its platform, data availability, page structure, and API behavior. When that happens, YouTool may need updates so the tools stay accurate, useful, and compliant with YouTube and Google requirements.

Copy a public YouTube video URL into Video Analyzer. It retrieves available public fields such as views, likes, comments, metadata, tags, and channel context, then calculates public interaction ratios and YouTool checklists. It cannot see private watch time, retention, click-through rate, traffic sources, or revenue.

Most analysis tools begin with a public YouTube URL or handle and explain the public fields or built-in assumptions they use. Results are research aids and checklists; verify important decisions in your own YouTube Studio data.

Search for "YouTool.io" in the Chrome Web Store and click "Add to Chrome". Once installed, the YouTool icon will appear in your browser toolbar. Click it to open the popup anytime you're on YouTube or YouTube Studio.

Open the extension popup and click "Sign in with Google". This uses the same account you use on YouTool.io — signing in links your extension to your account and restores any active YouTool Pro purchase. Basic customization works without Pro; toolbox actions and advanced Studio integrations require Pro. Settings are stored by the extension, independently of account sign-in.

Sign in to the YouTool.io account that owns your Pro purchase first, then open the extension popup and use the Connect YouTube button in the YouTool Tools section, or go to your Account page on the website and click "Connect YouTube Channel". Once connected, your channel profile picture appears in the popup, the stats bar loads, and personalized tools can use the read-only data you authorized.

With YouTool Pro and your YouTube channel connected, the popup shows net subscriber change and views for the selected range. Click the range pill to switch between 1D, 7D, and 30D. The popup remembers your selected range and caches each range locally once per day so stats load quickly after the first fetch.

After your channel stats load, click the small arrow attached to the stats pill to expand the trend graph. It shows subscribers and views for the selected 1D, 7D, or 30D range, and hover points reveal the date and values. If you change the range while the graph is open, it stays open and redraws with the new data.

The extension enhances YouTube Studio with dashboard customization, extra analytics timeline options, extra content-page columns, a real-time engaged views option, and Streamer Mode. Streamer Mode redacts thumbnails, titles, channel identity, revenue, stats, and audience panels so you can screen-share more safely.

On YouTube watch pages the extension can add screenshot capture, one-click transcript copying, copy description, copy tags, thumbnail download, video analyzer, channel analyzer, estimated dislikes via Return YouTube Dislike, monetization checks, loop controls, theater mode, speed controls, and URL cleanup. Most of these can be toggled on or off from the popup.

YouTool Tools controls the YouTool actions added inside YouTube. You can enable Thumbnail Downloader, Video Analyzer, and Channel Analyzer buttons. These tools appear in the YouTool floating menu on watch pages after the feature is enabled. Some personalized tools work best after your YouTube channel is connected.

Enable Copy Transcript in the popup, then use the YouTool menu on a YouTube video. The extension opens the transcript when needed, copies the transcript text automatically, and cleans the copied text so timestamps and repeated transcript UI labels are easier to read.

The popup includes hide controls for Shorts areas, home page ads, live chat, end screen cards, watch page comments, home news popups, YouTube Playables promos, and watch page recommendations. These settings are designed to make YouTube cleaner when you are researching, screen-sharing, or trying to focus.

The Playback section includes a dedicated loop button, automatic theater mode, forced playback speed, any-speed player buttons, Shorts speed control, and Shorts auto scroll. You can also set the exact player speed and the step size used by the speed buttons.

Custom Theme applies a YouTube theme override. You can choose YouTube Dark, Enhancer for YouTube, YouTube Deep Dark, or YouTube Deep Dark Custom, then pick a variant or set your own accent, background, hover, text, and shadow colors.

YouTool includes 26 creator tools across video analysis, channel analysis, keyword research, tag generation, thumbnail testing, outlier research, comment export, playlist analysis, asset downloads, utilities, and Chrome extension workflows.

Public fields come from YouTube's official API and can be delayed, hidden, unavailable, rounded, or changed by YouTube. YouTool calculates descriptive ratios, samples, estimates, and rule-based checklists from the fields returned. It does not retrieve every public field or replace private YouTube Studio analytics.

YouTool can analyze supported public videos, channels, and playlists when YouTube returns the needed fields. Private content is unavailable, some unlisted content may not resolve, and public tools cannot access owner-only metrics such as retention, click-through rate, traffic sources, or revenue.

Public website tools generally request and process YouTube data when you run them; the returned fields can still be delayed or unavailable. If you sign in and connect your YouTube channel, YouTool stores a connection record and may store read-only connected-channel analytics history so account features can compare results over time. Connected-channel patterns may also be reviewed internally to improve benchmarks, experiment ideas, and future creator tools. The extension caches selected stats locally in Chrome storage once per day for faster loading.

YouTool uses Google sign-in and YouTube's official APIs and does not ask for your YouTube password. Website and extension requests use HTTPS. Extension settings, the selected stats range, and the daily stats cache are stored in Chrome storage so those preferences persist between popup opens.

Tool history that a website tool saves is kept in browser storage on that device. You can remove it with the site-data controls in your browser or the Clear Data control on the Cookie Policy page.

This usually happens if the content is private, deleted, or if there's a temporary issue with YouTube's API. Make sure the URL is correct and the content is public. If the issue persists, try again in a few minutes or contact support.

Most errors are temporary and resolve quickly. Try refreshing the page or waiting a few minutes before trying again. If you continue experiencing issues, please visit our contact page with details about the error and the URL you were trying to analyze.

The website is designed to adapt to phones, tablets, and desktops. File handling, wide data tables, and large exports may still be easier to use on a desktop browser.
