01
Upload your video
Drag in a video or audio clip — MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, MP3, or M4A, up to 10 minutes. The file is read locally; nothing is uploaded yet.
Video → text & notes
Turn any video into notes, a transcript, and a clear summary.
For students, researchers, and anyone who would rather read the key points than watch the whole thing.
Upload a video clip and turn it into AI notes — a summary, key points, and a timeline — that you can download as Markdown or plain text. Your video never leaves your browser: only the extracted audio is sent.

How it works
Three steps from a video to text and notes.

Transcribe and summarize
We extract the audio in your browser, transcribe it to text, then use AI to turn it into a summary, key points, a timeline, and any action items or open questions.
03
Read, copy, or download
Review the notes summary on the page, copy it, or download the notes as Markdown and the full transcript as a text file.

FAQ
Video to Notes questions
How do I turn a video into notes?
Drop a video file (up to 10 minutes) onto the box at the top of this page or choose one to upload. Video to Notes extracts the audio in your browser, transcribes it, and writes AI notes — a summary, key points, and a timeline — you can download as Markdown or read on the page.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video stays in your browser. We extract a small compressed audio track locally and send only that audio to generate the transcript and notes — never the original video file.
Can I make notes from a YouTube link or a longer video?
Yes — with the Chrome extension. The website handles uploaded clips up to 10 minutes; the extension makes notes from YouTube videos and from longer videos right in your browser.
What can I export — text, Markdown, or notes?
You can download the AI notes as a Markdown (.md) file and the full transcript as a plain text (.txt) file, or copy the notes to your clipboard.
Is there a usage limit?
You can turn videos into notes with a small daily limit per device so the service stays available for everyone.
What file types and length are supported?
Common video and audio formats work — MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, MP3, and M4A among them. Uploaded clips can be up to 10 minutes; for longer videos use the Chrome extension.
