One-click YouTube → WordPress
A publish panel appears under every YouTube video. Title, description, embed, and thumbnail are prefilled — override any of them inline and post as draft or live. Images ship straight to your WordPress media library.
Turn any YouTube video into a WordPress blog post in seconds.
Publish directly from the YouTube watch page. Title, description, and thumbnail are prefilled. Pro adds AI-written articles and AI-generated featured images from the video transcript.

Cut my video-to-post time from 45 minutes to under 60 seconds. The Pro AI draft is 80% there on the first try.
-
I publish weekly YouTube recaps on my blog. This extension made the entire workflow disappear.
-
The featured-image generator alone is worth the price. No more hunting through stock photos at midnight.
-
Publishing straight from the YouTube watch page feels illegal. In a very good way. My traffic doubled in a month.
-
Transcript-to-article saves me hours every week. My readers still think I wrote every word.
Ever watched a YouTube video and thought it could be a great post?
Copying the title, writing a summary, grabbing a thumbnail, pasting the embed — 30 to 60 minutes per video. YouTube to WordPress does it in one click, straight from the watch page.
Three features. Zero friction.
Everything you need to turn videos into polished posts — and nothing you don't.
AI-generated article & featured image
A polished blog post drafted from the video transcript — five tones, three lengths, full HTML editing. Paired with a custom 16:9 featured image generated on demand. Server-side transcript fallback means it works on every captioned video.
SEO metadata
Auto meta title, description, focus keyword, and Open Graph tags — saved to Yoast, Rank Math, or AIOSEO if installed.
Three steps. Publish in seconds.
You connect it to your own WordPress site once, then forget it exists until you need it.

Click Publish
The post lands on your WordPress site with embed, thumbnail, and formatted content. On Pro, an AI article is drafted from the transcript first — with editable preview and HTML tabs.
Pricing that makes sense.
Free forever for the core publishing workflow. Pro if you want AI to write the article for you.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set up and use the extension?
Install from the Chrome Web Store, then open any YouTube video and connect your site using your WordPress URL and an Application Password when the extension asks. For a step-by-step walkthrough of setup and publishing, watch the setup video.
Does this work with WordPress.com or only self-hosted sites?
Self-hosted WordPress only (the wordpress.org kind). WordPress.com's business plan
exposes the REST API, so it works there too. Free-tier WordPress.com doesn't — those sites don't
allow API publishing from third-party apps.
Do I need my own OpenAI key for Pro?
Yes. You paste your OpenAI API key into the extension once, and calls go directly from your browser to OpenAI — billed to your OpenAI account. We never see your key, transcripts, or generated content. This is why Pro stays cheap: you pay for the AI, not us. Create a key in 30 seconds at platform.openai.com/api-keys.
How much does AI generation cost per article?
Roughly $0.001–$0.01 per article on GPT-5-mini (the default). A 3-hour podcast transcript costs about a cent. Your OpenAI bill, your controls.
Can it generate articles without a transcript?
AI articles require captions — they're derived from the actual video content. Videos without captions still publish via the standard workflow, just without the AI article. Most YouTube videos have auto-captions.
What if a video's transcript won't load in my browser?
Strict privacy settings, ad blockers, and Incognito windows can block YouTube's internal transcript loading. The free tier shows an error and lets you paste the transcript manually. Pro falls back to a server-side fetcher that bypasses browser restrictions entirely — AI articles work on every captioned video, no exceptions.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The extension talks only to your WordPress site, YouTube (public data), and — if Pro is active — OpenAI using your own key. A small serverless function verifies your license status; that's it.
How do I cancel Pro?
Click Manage subscription in the extension's License tab, or use the LemonSqueezy customer portal link in your receipt email. Pro stays active until the current billing period ends, then the extension drops back to the free tier.
Does it support scheduled drafts or bulk publishing?
Both are on the near-term roadmap. If you need them today, email us — active users get first access to beta features.
Can I see the source before installing?
The extension ships as readable JavaScript via the Chrome Web Store — inspect it any time
in chrome://extensions.
