About iutu.be
iutu.be is behind Youtube Optimizer, a Chrome extension for YouTube Studio. It uses AI to rewrite a video's title, description and tags for search and click-through, and you review every change before it is saved. The three metadata fields are the only focus.
Titles get front-loaded keywords and tested formulas, descriptions get a strong opening hook, early keywords, timestamps, a call to action and hashtags, and tags are rebuilt with the primary keyword first. The site also offers free tools that require sign-in: a channel name generator, a video ideas generator that includes Shorts, a playlist length calculator, a category checker, an intro ideas generator and an export of your subscriptions to CSV.
The free plan includes one AI optimization per day. A Pro option removes the limit for a one-time $25 payment. The extension is added to Chrome from the site, and each of the standalone tools requires signing in even though they are described as free.
