Video to Blog Generator

Turn a video into a SEO-optimized blog post.

The RightBlogger YouTube Video to Blog Post Generator converts YouTube videos into structured, SEO-friendly blog posts in seconds.

Got YouTube videos that you want to turn into blog posts? You can repurpose them in seconds using our free video to blog AI tool. Get the most out of your content without putting in lots of extra work: our video to blog generator automatically creates a well-structured, high-quality blog post that incorporates all your video content.

Here at RightBlogger, we think a “video-first” content creation model makes sense for most business owners and bloggers. Plus, if you’re already putting out content on YouTube, you might as well reuse it in different formats.

One big drawback of videos is that they can be tricky to optimize for search engines. That’s why it’s a great idea to convert YouTube videos into blog posts that are SEO-friendly. Written content also lets you reach a wider audience: not everyone wants to watch, some people prefer to read instead.

Reworking all your videos into blog posts would take a ton of manual work. Even if you’ve got a good, clear transcript, you’ll still need to do lots of editing and formatting. That’s why we created one of our most popular tools: the YouTube Video to Blog Post Generator.

With this tool, you can instantly draft a blog post based on your video, saving you hours of work.

How to Use Our Free YouTube Video to Blog Post Generator

We designed the YouTube Video to Blog Post tool to be as easy as possible to use. Here’s how to get started with it.

1. Enter the URL for Your YouTube Video

First, pop in the direct URL for your YouTube video. Not sure where to find this? Just go to your video on YouTube, then copy-and-paste the URL from your browser’s toolbar. Additionally the RightBlogger video to blog tool allows you to upload a video file, audio file, or podcast recording.

Tip: If your video isn’t on YouTube or is private, you can instead copy the whole transcript into this box. We’ll cover that in more detail later.

2. Specify the Length for Your Blog Post

The RightBlogger AI will automatically try to come up with a blog post of a suitable length—but if you want, you can specify how long/short the post should be here.

3. Set a Primary Keyword for Your Blog Post (Optional)

For the best SEO results, you want to have a primary keyword (search query) for each article you write.

If you’re not sure what keyword to best use for your post, our Keyword Research Tool will help.

4. Choose the Tone and Writing Style for Your Blog Post

By default, the AI will write in a conversational tone that should be suitable for most blogs. But if you want to more closely match your own writing voice, select a different tone & writing style from the dropdown list.

Tip: If you have the Unlimited RightBlogger plan (instead of the free plan), you can create up to 5 custom MyTone styles to use. Just select your MyTone from the dropdown here.

5. Select the Language for Your Blog Post

RightBlogger defaults to English (US) as that’s what the majority of our users write in. But you can choose from over 100+ different languages here—including other varieties of English (UK, Canada, and Australia).

Bonus: Use My Free SEO Checklist Alongside This Tool

Turning your videos into blog posts is a fantastic way to reap SEO benefits, getting more organic traffic to your site—and more customers for your business. 

You can go even further using my personal SEO checklist:

  1. Install and use the Yoast plugin or RankMath plugin for WordPress
  2. Make sure you’ve chosen a suitable keyword: go for medium volume and low difficulty if possible
  3. Include your keyword in your headings (encourages rich snippets and faster indexing on Google)
  4. Only have one H1 header in your post—this should be your post title at the top of the page
  5. Use the correct header hierarchy, with H2 subheadings and H3 sub-subheadings
  6. Incorporate your primary keyword naturally within the text—don’t go over the top
  7. Have a good mix of internal and external links, with at least 3 external links
  8. Craft an enticing meta description that incorporates your primary and (ideally) secondary keywords
  9. Include alt descriptions for all the images (photos, screenshots, illustrations, etc) in your post, using keywords within these as much as possible
  10. Make sure your blog post is a suitable length—for the best SEO results, that normally means at least 1,500 words
  11. Craft a meta title (SEO title) that uses your primary keyword and grabs attention
  12. Include your primary keyword in the URL (permalink) for your post

After you create a post with RightBlogger’s video to blog tool, you can go to the editor and generate an SEO report. This helps the article have a better chance of ranking by giving you the exact keywords you should reference in your post.

The Features of the AI YouTube Video to Blog Post Generator

Our AI YouTube Video to Blog Post Tool is easy to get started with … but there’s a ton of power under the hood.

Let’s take a deeper look at all the options you’ve got, including the advanced features.

1. YouTube Video URL OR Paste Your Full Transcript

Most bloggers use this tool by pasting in their YouTube video’s URL. The tool automatically grabs the transcript and creates your blog post. 

But what you might not realize is that you can also paste a whole transcript into this field. (Yes, it’ll fit!) This is really useful if you haven’t yet published your video or if you’re creating an article based on a private video—e.g. as part of an online course.

Using video to blog tool in RightBlogger

You could also use this feature to combine two (or more) YouTube videos into one blog post. You don’t need to transcribe the videos yourself. Just grab the transcripts using our Download YouTube Video Transcript tool, then go ahead and paste those into the YouTube Video to Blog Post Generator. If you are working with a video or audio file we have a transcription tool as well.

Tip: When pasting the URL, make sure it’s the URL for a specific video, not for your whole YouTube channel.

2. Article Length (Specify the Length You Want)

The YouTube Video to Blog Post Generator usually does a good job of choosing a sensible length for your blog post, based on the amount of content in your video.

If you want a longer or shorter post, though, just select from the options here. 

Short-form posts will normally be under 1,000 words; long-form posts will be around 1,500 words … though note that if your video itself is fairly short, the tool will end up producing blog posts that are on the shorter side too.

3. Primary Keyword (What Keyword Are You Optimizing Around?)

While you don’t have to include a primary keyword for your article, I strongly recommend it. Keywords let the AI create SEO-optimized blog posts that should rank well (assuming you’ve picked an achievable, relevant keyword).

Here are a couple of examples:

Without a keyword specified:

With the keyword “make money online with a laptop and camera” specified:

In the second example, the AI has incorporated the exact primary keyword phrase into a subheading—an important ranking factor.

4. Tone & Writing Style (Bring Your Style and Voice Into Your Post)

Have you ever read a blog post and known instantly that it was written by ChatGPT? You can tell from the bland phrasing, like this:

In today’s digital age, all you need to kickstart a money-making venture is a laptop, a camera, and a little creativity. Whether you’re looking for a side hustle or aiming to build a full-time business, there are countless ways to turn these tools into income streams.

RightBlogger’s AI aims for a more conversational, engaging style—but you can adjust this to suit your own personal style and voice.

We have 20+ different pre-set styles to choose from, including Fun & Quirky, Technical, and Direct.

Here are some examples so you can see the difference:

Fun & Quirky: This guide skips the Instagram hype and empty promises of overnight success and delivers a real roadmap to time and location freedom. Spoiler alert: It’s not magic, and it’s not easy—but it’s absolutely achievable.

Technical: Building a sustainable income this way takes time, effort, and strategy. This guide will give you a step-by-step plan to set yourself on the right path, avoid the biggest mistakes, and start moving toward your goals.

Direct: This guide will show you how to actually make money online using a laptop and camera. There are no shortcuts or overnight riches, but if you’re willing to put in the work, you can build a sustainable business and create time and location freedom.

If you have the RightBlogger Pro plan, which costs just $29.99/month, you can also create up to 5 customized MyTones. 

When you create a MyTone, you simply give the AI a sample of your writing to use as a model. It’ll then analyze your writing in depth, pinpointing your style and saving it to use from any RightBlogger tool with a Tone & Writing Style dropdown.

5. Language (Pick From 100+ Languages)

By default, RightBlogger creates content in English (US), because the majority of our users are based in the USA. But if you live somewhere else, or you’re creating content for an audience in a different country, we’ve got you covered too.

RightBlogger supports over 100 languages for content creation. Regardless of your video’s language, you can choose whatever language you want here.

For instance, your video might be in English—but you may want a Spanish blog post based on it for your multilingual website. RightBlogger can handle that with ease.

Tip: Even if your video’s language matches the output you want (e.g. your video is in French and you want the blog post to be in French too), you still need to select the output language here. 

6. Embed Video (Opt to Include Your Video in Your Post … or Not!)

The Video to Blog Post tool also has a set of advanced options, which you can view by expanding the “Embed Video & Point of View & More” section.

The first of these options is “Embed Video”. Having this option toggled on will include your YouTube video near the start of your article.

This is a great option in most cases: it helps boost views of your video as blog readers may opt to watch it instead of (or as well as) reading your article.

7. Point of View (Choose the Perspective for Your Post)

Do you want to write your post from your own perspective, to the reader, or in a more neutral way? 

Most bloggers will write posts to “you” the reader—and this usually makes the most sense for the point of view.

But in some situations, you may want to tweak things. The Point of View feature lets you choose from different perspectives:

  • First Person (I): useful if your video is primarily based on your own story or experience
  • First Person Plural (we): useful if your video has two or more presenters or you’re sharing a joint story
  • Second Person (you): a good option for focusing on your reader and their needs and interests
  • Third Person (they): a more neutral tone that can be good if you’re talking about mistakes or problems

8. Internal Links (Add Your Website or Blog URL Here)

The AI can automatically include internal links in your post, if you let it know the URL of your website or blog. This is great for your SEO and also helps encourage readers to stick around for longer on your site.

Just enter your URL and the AI will do the rest.

You’ll see relevant links included throughout your article:

9. Target Audience (Who is Your Post Aimed At?)

You can specify a target audience for your post—helping the AI to tailor the content specifically to that audience’s needs and preferences.

In many cases, this will be a similar target audience to your video. However, you might find there are some crucial differences between your YouTube and blog audiences: for instance, maybe your YouTube audience tends to be younger whereas your blog audience is a little older. Your audiences may also have different levels of expertise.

10. Additional Instructions (Give the AI More Info or Specific Constraints)

In the Additional Instructions section, you can include anything else you want. 

That might be information that you want added to the AI-generated content (e.g. “add a bonus section on…”) or it could be related to how you want the post formatted, perhaps if you use specific templates for your posts.

11. Creativity (Choose How Unusual or Predictable to Make Your Post)

Finally, you can choose how “Creative” the AI should be. This essentially determines whether the AI should be predictable or unpredictable when writing your post. The more creative you ask it to be, the more unusual the generated blog post will be.

High creativity can help you avoid bland AI-like content … but it can also make your post a bit too off-beat. Low creativity keeps things simple … but it can be boring.

We usually recommend sticking with the midway point for Creativity, but you can experiment by changing the slider to see if a different setting suits your blogging style better.

Tip: Set Up a Project if You’re Creating Multiple Blog Posts From Videos

RightBlogger’s Projects feature lets you create a project and pre-populate the information in the Video to Blog Post Tool (and all our other tools).

This will streamline your workflow if you’re creating several videos for the same blog.

AI Video to Blog Post Generator FAQs

Got questions about turning videos into blog posts or about using the video to blog post generator? Here’s everything you need to know.

Can I Use YouTube Videos in My Blog Post?

Yes! 

Obviously, you can always use your own YouTube videos in your blog post. 

When it comes to other people’s YouTube videos, it’s generally considered okay to embed these on your blog too (as embedding it will link back to their original video, on YouTube). Keep in mind, though, that if someone has violated copyright in their video, you probably don’t want to associate yourself with that. 

If you’re at all unsure whether you can use a particular video within your blog content, check with a legal professional.

Can I Use TikTok, Instagram Reels, or Other Videos with This Tool?

The YouTube to blog converter also works just fine with TikTok videos. Simply paste in the TikTok URL for the video and go ahead and create your blog post.

We’ve got support for Instagram Reels coming soon, too.

If you’ve got a transcript for your video (no matter where it’s hosted!) then you can just paste the whole transcript into the tool, as well.

Can I Automate My YouTube to Blog Workflow with RightBlogger?

Yes! RightBlogger includes autoblogging tools that monitor your YouTube channel and automatically turn new videos into SEO-friendly blog posts as soon as they go live on your channel.

How Do I Embed a Video Into My Blog?

With WordPress, it’s really easy to embed a video. Just copy-and-paste the URL for your YouTube video into the place where you want it in your post, and the WordPress block editor will automatically embed the video.

If you’re using a different blogging platform, you may need the embed HTML code for the video.
