Eightify review
A focused YouTube summarizer with timestamps, transcripts, translations, and sharing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Eightify is an AI summarization tool built for YouTube videos, with browser, web, iOS, and Android access. It suits people who use YouTube for education, research, professional learning, podcasts, news, and general information. Its core workflow produces concise summaries, extracts key insights, creates transcripts, and adds timestamps for moving through the source video. Mobile users can also share a video or paste a link to start the workflow.
The strongest feature set centers on turning long YouTube content into navigable, adjustable summaries. Users can customize insight length, format, and focus, then review top-comment overviews alongside the transcript. Summary translation supports more than 40 languages, while shareable summary articles and links make it easier to pass results to others. Eightify Pro Monthly and Eightify Pro Annual both include YouTube video summaries, transcripts and key insights, timestamped navigation, and 40+ language support. Both plans are paid, so the product is aimed at users who expect regular value from YouTube summarization rather than occasional, no-cost use.
Platform fit is straightforward: Eightify connects directly with YouTube and supports Google account access, Chrome and Safari desktop workflows, plus iOS and Android apps. Its focus is also its main boundary. The published feature set is designed around YouTube videos and does not extend to uploaded files or general webpage summarization. Choose Eightify if timestamped video summaries, transcripts, comment context, translation, and cross-device sharing match your routine. Choose an alternative if your work depends on summarizing documents, arbitrary webpages, or a broader range of media inputs.
