About ekstrakt: YouTube Summarizer
Generate accurate transcripts and AI-powered summaries for any YouTube video, right inside the page. ekstrakt gives you clean transcripts and concise AI summaries directly inside YouTube, with no tab switching and no pasting links into another app. Every point in a summary carries the timestamp it came from, so you can jump to the moment behind it and check it for yourself. Once installed, a summary panel appears next to the video player automatically. Whether you're studying, reviewing tutorials, researching, or catching up on long videos, ekstrakt saves you the time of watching the whole thing.

💡 FAQs
Q: Does the extension work with all YouTube videos?
It works with most public YouTube videos. Private, restricted, or videos without available captions may not be supported.
Q: Do I need to sign up to use it?
You can try summaries without an account using free trial credits. Signing in (Google, Apple, or email) unlocks your full credit balance and saves your preferences across devices.
Q: What are the timestamps inside a summary?
Each key point ends with the moment in the video it came from, written like [04:12]. Clicking it seeks the player already on the page, so checking a point against the video costs one click and never loses your place. Middle-click opens that moment in a new tab instead.
Q: Is it free to use?
Yes, to start. Every account gets free trial credits for summaries and transcripts with no credit card required. Paid plans are available for higher usage.
Q: What languages are supported?
Summaries can be generated in your preferred language from your profile settings, independent of the video's original spoken language.
