Where it helps
Built for people who collect videos
NotebookLM and AI research
Gather a set of lectures or interviews, copy all the links at once, and add them to NotebookLM as YouTube sources.
Lesson plans and reading lists
Teachers and students can turn a search into a tidy list of titled links for a class page, worksheet or shared doc.
On mobile
Using YipLink on a phone or tablet
YipLink works best on a computer for collecting multiple video links. On mobile, you can paste and organize links you already have.
What works
- Paste one or more YouTube links, for example from Share → Copy link, and YipLink turns them into clean
youtube.com/watch?v=links you can copy or download. - To paste, tap and hold the box, then tap Paste.
- Short links (
youtu.be), Shorts and mobile links (m.youtube.com) are converted too.
What doesn't
- Selecting many video titles at once. The YouTube app and most mobile browsers open the video when you press on a title.
- Text copied from the YouTube app usually has no links in it, so there's nothing for YipLink to read.
FAQ
Questions about extracting YouTube links
How do I extract all video links from a YouTube playlist?
Open the playlist on a computer and scroll until every video has loaded. Drag to select the list from the first title to the last, press Ctrl + C (⌘ + C on Mac), then paste into YipLink. You get a clean link for every selected video that had loaded.
Can I get the links for every video on a YouTube channel?
Yes, for every video that has loaded on the page. Open the channel's Videos tab, scroll until the videos you need appear, select them and copy. Videos YouTube hasn't loaded yet can't be included, so keep scrolling for long channels.
How do I add a YouTube playlist to NotebookLM?
Extract the playlist's links with YipLink, click Copy All Links, then add them to your notebook as YouTube sources in NotebookLM.
Why didn't YipLink find some of my videos?
Usually one of three things: only part of a title was selected, the video hadn't loaded on the page yet, or the text was typed or copied from the YouTube mobile app, which copies plain text without links. Select the full titles on a computer and try again.
Does YipLink work on phones?
Partly. On a phone you can paste YouTube links you already have, such as links from Share → Copy link: tap and hold the box, then tap Paste. YipLink cleans and lists them. Collecting a list of videos by selecting their titles needs a computer, because the YouTube app copies text without links.
Is there a limit to how many videos I can extract?
YipLink doesn't set a fixed limit. It extracts the YouTube links found in the text you paste, so the result depends on what you copied, which in turn depends on how many videos YouTube has loaded on the page when you select them. In our own testing, a single paste of 1,500 videos worked. That is a test result, not a guarantee.
Which browsers does YipLink work in?
YipLink has been tested in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on desktop. It uses the standard copy and paste built into every modern browser, so it's expected to work in Firefox and Safari too.
Is YipLink free, and is my data stored?
YipLink is free and needs no account. The text you paste is processed in your browser and is never sent to Wonderbloom Labs. Video thumbnails are loaded from YouTube.
