Free YouTube tools

    Free YouTube tools for long-form and Shorts: make a thumbnail, build chapters from your subtitles, cut and resize for Shorts, and check loudness before you upload. Estimate what a channel could earn as a range with the assumptions shown. Your videos and images are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

    Plan your YouTube video

    Settle the hook, the script length and the frame size before you make anything for YouTube.

    Create YouTube thumbnails, captions and chapters

    Make the pieces a YouTube post needs: captions, slides, covers, voiceover and subtitles.

    Edit for YouTube and Shorts

    Cut, resize and clean up what you have so it fits YouTube without a re-shoot.

    Check before you upload to YouTube

    Catch problems before YouTube does: covered captions, long lines, quiet audio, the wrong spec.

    Grow your YouTube channel

    Read your numbers and tune your profile for YouTube. Estimates are ranges, never promises.

    When you want to generate, not just edit

    The tools above are free and on-device. Generating new images, video or voice with AI models happens in Versely and uses credits.

    Free tools for other platforms

    Your files never leave your device

    Free to use, with no account, no usage limit and no watermark, because the work runs on your device rather than on our servers.

    This is not a promise about how carefully we handle your upload. There is no upload. The file you choose is read into memory by your own browser, processed there, and handed back as a download — the tool has no server component and makes no network request with your data.

    • Nothing is stored. We never receive the file, so there is no copy to retain, no retention period to disclose, and nothing to delete on request.
    • Nothing is transmitted. No upload endpoint, no analytics payload carrying file contents, no third-party processor.
    • You can verify it. Load this page, disconnect from the internet, and use the tool. It still works, because everything it needs is already on your machine.
    • Nothing persists after you close the tab. Files are held in page memory only — not in local storage, not in a cache, not in a database.

    A note on wording, because it matters: we do not describe these tools as “encrypted.” Encryption protects data that travels to somebody else's computer. Your file does not travel, so there is nothing to encrypt and nothing to intercept — which is a stronger guarantee than encryption, not a weaker one. The page itself is served over HTTPS like the rest of the site.

    This makes the tools safe for material you are contractually barred from uploading to third-party services — client footage under NDA, unreleased campaign assets, anything covered by a confidentiality clause.

    Questions about the free YouTube tools

    How do I make YouTube chapters from my subtitles?
    Drop your SRT or VTT file into the SRT chapters tool. It turns the cues into a timestamped chapter list you can edit and paste into your video description. If you have no subtitle file yet, make one with the subtitle generator first.
    Can I make a YouTube thumbnail for free without Canva?
    Yes. The YouTube thumbnail maker lays out a 1280 by 720 thumbnail with title zones and lets you export variants to compare. The contrast checker tells you whether your title colour reads on its background.
    How accurate is the YouTube money calculator?
    It gives a range, not a figure. YouTube does not publish a fixed rate per view, so the calculator works from the inputs you enter and shows the assumptions it used. Treat the result as a planning estimate, not a promise of earnings.
    Do these YouTube tools upload my photos or videos?
    No. Each tool reads your file into your browser's memory and processes it there, so nothing is sent to Versely or to YouTube. The AI tools, such as the subtitle generator, download their model once on first use and your browser caches it; your file still stays on your device. There is no account and no watermark.
