Edit All Your YouTube Descriptions at Once

A dead link or an expired sponsor buried in 200 video descriptions is hours of clicking in YouTube Studio. Connect your channel, define the change once, review a side-by-side diff of every affected video, and apply it in one pass through the official YouTube API.

What you get

Find and replace

Case-insensitive find and replace across every selected description; leave the replacement blank to delete the text.

Append or prepend

Add a new sponsor block, social link, or announcement to the top or bottom of every description.

A real diff preview

Before anything is written, see current and new descriptions side by side for every video that would change.

Boilerplate detection

The tool spots description lines shared across your videos and selects the videos that carry them in one click.

Guardrails built in

Videos that would exceed YouTube's 5000-character description limit are flagged and skipped, and the apply runs against live descriptions, not a stale cache.

How it works

  1. 01

    Connect your channel

    A one-time YouTube connection authorizes the edits.

  2. 02

    Define the change and preview

    Pick replace, append, or prepend, select videos (search and filters help), and review the per-video diff.

  3. 03

    Apply across your uploads

    Confirm, and the change rolls out to every selected description in one pass.

Frequently asked questions

▸Can I see what will change before it happens?

Yes. The preview shows a side-by-side diff for every video that would actually change, and only those; videos with no matches are left out.

▸Is this allowed by YouTube?

Yes. Edits run through YouTube's official Data API on a channel you connect and authorize, the same mechanism professional channel-management tools use.

▸Can I undo a bulk edit?

There is no automatic undo, which is exactly why the preview exists. A find-and-replace can often be reversed by running the inverse replacement.

▸How many videos can I edit at once?

Pro includes one run per day of up to 40 videos; Premium runs up to 100 per pass. Selecting nothing applies the edit to every video, as long as your channel has no more than that. The limit is YouTube's own daily API budget, shared across everyone using GrumpTools. If it runs out you get a clear message and a count of what's left, not a half-finished batch.
