A Structured Doc is an AI-generated document that organizes the video's key points, headings, summaries, and relevant details into a clean, readable format — far more useful than a raw transcript.

Free users can convert videos up to 60 minutes long. For longer videos or batch processing, please consider upgrading to a paid plan.

No. Y2Doc can only process public YouTube videos. Private and unlisted videos cannot be accessed by our system.

Conversion may fail if: (1) the video is private or region-locked, (2) the video has no captions available, (3) the URL is invalid. Make sure the YouTube link is correct and the video is publicly accessible, then try again.

Try the following: refresh the page and re-paste the URL, check that the video is public, try a different video to confirm the issue is video-specific, or clear your browser cache. If the issue persists, contact us at [email protected].

Document quality depends on the video's caption quality. Videos with manually created captions produce the best results. If the auto-generated captions are inaccurate, the AI output may reflect that. Try a video with better caption quality.

Make sure your browser allows pop-ups and downloads from Y2Doc. Try a different browser or disable any download-blocking extensions. If the issue continues, contact our support team.
