How video summarizer works
Upload a video or paste a link
Drop in any video file or paste a link – any format, any language, no length limit.
Get your AI summary
Pepys transcribes the speech, then writes a concise summary with key points and takeaways in minutes.
Skim, ask, or export
Read the summary, ask follow-up questions in chat, or export the summary and transcript to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF.
A long video rarely needs your full attention – you need the point. Whether it's a lecture, a webinar, a product demo, or a recorded talk, Pepys watches for you: upload the file or paste a link and get back a clear summary, the key points, and the takeaways that matter – so you act on a forty-minute video in two minutes.
The summary isn't guesswork. It's built on a full, timestamped transcript of the spoken audio, so every takeaway links back to the moment it was said. Ask follow-up questions in built-in chat, jump to any timestamp, and never train anyone's model on your video. Pay only for what you summarize; credits never expire.
Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.
The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.
um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around

Video summarizer – questions, answered
How do I summarize a video with AI?
Upload your video file or paste a link on this page. Pepys transcribes the speech and writes a concise summary with key points and takeaways in minutes – your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
What's the difference between the summary and the transcript?
The transcript is the full word-for-word text of the speech; the summary distills it into the main points and takeaways. Pepys gives you both, so you can skim the summary and open the transcript for detail.
How long can the video be?
There's no length limit – summarize a two-minute clip or a three-hour stream. Longer videos just use more of your free minutes or credits, which never expire.
Can I summarize a video in another language?
Yes. Pepys auto-detects 99+ languages and summarizes in the spoken language, so a German webinar or a Spanish demo comes back summarized with no setup.
Do you train on my video?
Never. We don't train AI on your video, transcripts, or summaries, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
