Video to Prompt
Video to Prompt analyzes uploaded clips or supported YouTube Shorts links and returns editable, scene-by-scene prompt text. Video creators and creative teams can review and adapt that text for separate AI image or video tools.
One of 91 tools in Video
Who it's for
- Video creators who want to turn a short reference clip into an editable prompt draft for another AI model.
- Film and music-video creatives who need to describe a scene's framing, lighting, movement, and visual style.
- Short-form video creators who want prompt details from supported YouTube Shorts or uploaded clips.
Not the right fit if…
- Teams that need the tool to generate finished images or videos: Video to Prompt returns text and does not generate media.
- People who need to analyze TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, arbitrary webpage, or direct file URLs: the URL flow supports YouTube Shorts and youtu.be links only.
- Users who need commercial rights for prompts on the free tier, Start, or Growth: those prompts are licensed for personal, non-commercial use.
How it fits your workflow
Upload an MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, or MPEG clip, or paste a YouTube Shorts or youtu.be link you have permission to process. Free uploads are limited to 60 seconds and 20MB.
Run the analysis to get a scene-by-scene breakdown of the subject, action, camera, lighting, visual style, and relevant audio cues. Uploaded videos are sent to Google's Gemini API; link analysis uses Gemini's native URL path.
Review and edit the English prompt, then copy it into a separate AI video or image tool. Video to Prompt does not generate the media itself.

Frequently asked questions
Does Video to Prompt generate images or videos?
No. It analyzes a short video and returns written prompt text for review, editing, and reuse in another creative tool.
Do I need to sign up?
No. You can run one analysis without an account. A free account provides five analyses per month total, including any anonymous trial already used that month.
What video formats are supported?
The upload flow supports MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, and MPEG files. Free analyses are limited to 60 seconds and 20MB; Pro supports up to 5 minutes and 200MB.
Which links can I analyze?
The URL flow supports YouTube Shorts and youtu.be links through Gemini's native URL analysis path. TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, arbitrary webpages, and direct file URLs are not supported.
What happens to uploaded videos?
The page says uploaded videos are sent to Google's Gemini API for analysis and are not stored on Video to Prompt's servers or written to its file storage. For a YouTube Shorts link, only the link itself is processed and logged. Signed-in users' generated prompts are saved to account history and can be deleted.
Can prompts be used commercially?
Prompts generated on the free tier, Start, or Growth are licensed for personal, non-commercial use. Pro and Credit Pack include a commercial-use license for prompts generated while the plan or pack is active; that license continues to apply to those prompts after the plan or pack ends.
Can I edit the generated prompt?
Yes. The result appears as text that users can review, copy, and adjust before using it in another AI tool.
