How does TinyFormat work?
TinyFormat works in 3 simple steps: paste any YouTube URL, we process your video using AI, and you receive a set of structured notes within seconds.
What types of YouTube videos can I use?
You can process any YouTube video that has captions or transcripts available. This includes most educational content, interviews, lectures, podcasts, and presentations. If a video doesn't have captions, our service won't be able to generate notes for it.
How long does it take to process a video?
Most videos are processed within 3 to 7 seconds. The exact time depends on the video length and current server load. When you generate notes, you will see a real-time progress indicator to let you know.
Can I export my notes?
Yes. You can copy your notes as plain text or download them as PNG images. The PNG export creates paginated documents that look professional and are easy to share or print. We are currently working on adding more export options such as PDF and Word Document.
Is there a free trial available?
Yes. Every new signup receives 3 free credits to try our service. If you wish to get more credits, you will need to upgrade to one of our paid plans.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your subscription anytime through the billing portal.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, you can change your plan anytime through the billing portal. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades take effect at your next billing cycle.
Do you offer refunds?
We offer full refunds within 7 days of subscription start, provided the service has not been used. After 7 days or any service usage, no refunds are provided.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, WeChat, Bancontact, EPS, Afterpay, and Klarna. All transactions are processed securely through Stripe.
What do people misunderstand about AI note generation?
Not every YouTube video transcript is perfect. The quality of your notes depends on the original video's audio quality and available captions.
Is there a free YouTube summary generator?
Beyond the free trial, TinyFormat requires a paid subscription to process videos. We focus on delivering high-quality, AI-powered note generation rather than offering a free tier with limited functionality and lower quality output.
Can I use these notes for work or school?
Yes, you can use AI-generated notes for work or school. Many TinyFormat.com customers report using their processed notes for research, studying, and professional documentation.
Can ChatGPT summarize YouTube transcripts?
While ChatGPT can process text you manually copy and paste, it can't directly access YouTube videos. TinyFormat automatically extracts transcripts and processes them with a specialized algorithm for better results.
What is the best AI for YouTube summaries?
TinyFormat is considered a premium-quality YouTube summary generator due to its focus on structured and professional note formatting. It's easy to use and optimized specifically for YouTube videos.
