Create organized YouTube descriptions with chapters, timestamps, and clean formatting.
Your formatted text will appear here...
YouTube descriptions support line breaks natively. Use them to create chapters, separate timestamps, and organize your links.
Enter your text with line breaks where you want them
Select single, double, or paragraph spacing
Line breaks will be preserved when you post
Why does this work? We add invisible zero-width space characters before line breaks. This tricks YouTube into thinking each line has content, preventing it from collapsing multiple line breaks into one.
Schedulala lets you schedule posts to YouTube and 9 other platforms from one simple dashboard.
Use format "0:00 Chapter Name" with line breaks for automatic video chapters.
Only the first ~200 characters show before "Show More" - make them count.
Use line breaks to separate social links, affiliate links, and resources.
YouTube descriptions can be up to 5,000 characters.

YouTube video descriptions can be up to 5,000 characters, but only the first few lines show before the 'Show more' fold. You need those opening lines to hook viewers and include key information. The rest of your description should be scannable when someone does expand it.
YouTube strips consecutive line breaks when you paste text from other sources. The zero-width space technique prevents this by inserting invisible Unicode characters between your paragraphs. YouTube keeps the formatting because it sees content there, not empty whitespace.
Description formatting affects discoverability. Timestamps, chapter markers, and link sections should be clearly separated. Search engines index your description text, so well-organized content with proper headings can help your video rank better.
Comment formatting benefits from zero-width spaces too. Long comments with multiple points are much easier to read when properly spaced. Creators responding to viewers with detailed explanations look more professional with clean formatting.
When scheduling YouTube content through Schedulala, your description formatting is preserved. For manual uploads, format your description here first. Paste the result into the video details page and your spacing will remain intact.
