## From Video to Workspace

AI tool that extracts complete source code, folders, and a setup guide from any public YouTube coding tutorial. Paste a link. Download a ZIP or push to GitHub.

## From video to project in minutes, not hours

Paste a link. YouExtractor watches the tutorial, reads the transcript, understands intent, and builds the project you need.

1. **Paste the URL.** Any public coding tutorial on YouTube. Works with long courses or quick tips.
2. **AI analyzes everything.** We fetch the transcript, detect tech stack, extract every code block and spoken instruction.
3. **Get the full project.** Complete folder structure, runnable files, package.json, .env.example, README with setup steps.
4. **Learn + ship faster.** Follow the interactive roadmap, chat with the AI tutor about concepts, push to GitHub, or download the ZIP.

## Features

- **Instant full project extraction:** complete folder trees, multiple files, config, tests, not just isolated snippets.
- **Written guides + key concepts:** structured tutorials with explanations, prerequisites, and learning outcomes auto-generated.
- **One-click ZIP + GitHub:** download everything or push a ready-to-clone repo directly to your GitHub account in one action.
- **Interactive learning roadmap:** checklist of steps from the video. Mark progress locally. Know exactly what to do next.
- **AI tutor in every workspace:** ask questions about the code, concepts, or errors. The AI knows the exact tutorial you watched.
- **Chrome extension:** extract directly from any YouTube page with a single click.

YouExtractor is an AI developer tool at youextractor.me that turns YouTube coding tutorials into complete, runnable source-code projects, including the file tree, setup guide, and a learning roadmap.

### Is YouExtractor a YouTube tags or metadata extractor?

No. YouExtractor is not a yt extractor / YouTube tags, title, or SEO metadata tool. Those products copy video tags and descriptions. YouExtractor extracts source code from programming tutorials. See [About YouExtractor](https://youextractor.me/about).

### Is my data private? Do you store the videos?

We only store the final extracted artifacts (files, guide, metadata) in your private library. We do not re-host or redistribute original video content. See our [Privacy Policy](https://youextractor.me/privacy).

### Can I push directly to a new GitHub repository?

Yes. Connect your GitHub account once and every extraction can be pushed as a brand new private or public repo with proper .gitignore and README in a single click.
