What is UpTube and how does it work?

UpTube is an AI-powered YouTube tool that analyzes your channel and generates scripts, video ideas, and SEO content strategies. Paste your YouTube channel URL and UpTube's 6-agent AI pipeline scans your videos, maps your speaking style, identifies content gaps in your niche, and produces a complete content kit - including ranked video ideas, word-for-word scripts, titles, descriptions, tags, and a YouTube Shorts adaptation - in under 60 seconds.

How does UpTube write YouTube scripts that sound like me?

UpTube's Channel Analyzer agent scans the auto-captions from your top-performing videos to build a voice profile. It maps your vocabulary, sentence rhythm, humor style, pacing, hook structures, and signature phrases. Every script is then written to match your exact speaking style - not a generic template.

What AI models does UpTube use?

UpTube routes each task to the best-fit model. Script writing and channel analysis use Anthropic Claude. SEO metadata and semantic search use OpenAI GPT-4 models. Trend scanning and multimodal tasks use Google Gemini. The specific model depends on your plan tier - higher plans access more capable models.

Is UpTube free to use?

Yes. The Free plan includes 50 credits per month with no credit card required. You can run a full channel analysis, generate video ideas, and explore all core features before deciding to upgrade. Paid plans start at $14.99 per month.

Does UpTube work for YouTube Shorts?

Yes. UpTube includes a dedicated Reel Adapter agent that converts long-form scripts into 60-second YouTube Shorts versions. It creates a hook-first structure, includes on-screen text overlay cues, and generates complete Shorts metadata - titles, descriptions, and hashtags.

How is UpTube different from TubeBuddy and VidIQ?

TubeBuddy and VidIQ focus on keyword research and analytics dashboards. UpTube goes further by generating complete scripts in your voice, producing ranked video ideas based on your channel DNA, analyzing competitors, and creating a full content strategy - turning data into ready-to-use content.

Can I cancel my UpTube subscription anytime?

Yes. All subscriptions are billed monthly and can be canceled from your dashboard settings at any time. You keep full access until the end of your billing cycle with no penalties.

YouTube Channel ID Finder

Find the UC... channel ID of any YouTube channel from its @handle, custom URL, or channel page link.

How to use the Channel ID Finder

1

Enter the channel's @handle (like @mkbhd), full URL, or old-style custom URL.
2
Resolve the ID
Click Find. The tool resolves it through the official YouTube API to the canonical UC... identifier.
3
Verify and copy
Check the channel card (name, avatar, subscribers) to confirm it's the right channel, then copy the ID.

About this tool

Every YouTube channel has a permanent canonical ID starting with 'UC' followed by 22 characters - but YouTube hides it behind friendly @handles and custom URLs. This tool resolves any channel handle, URL, or username to its true channel ID in seconds.

Channel IDs are required for the YouTube Data API, RSS feed subscriptions (youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC...), third-party analytics platforms, Discord/Slack integrations, and embed widgets. Unlike handles - which creators can change anytime - the UC ID never changes, making it the reliable identifier for any technical integration.

Paste anything: an @handle, a full channel URL, an old /c/ or /user/ custom URL, or even a UC ID to verify it. You'll get the canonical ID plus a summary card with the channel's name, avatar, and subscriber count so you can confirm you found the right channel.

Features

✓Resolves @handles, /channel/, /c/, and /user/ URL formats
✓Returns the permanent canonical UC... ID
✓Channel summary card for visual verification
✓Instant RSS feed URL generation
✓Official YouTube API resolution - always accurate
✓Free, no signup

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a channel ID and a handle?

The handle (@name) is a changeable, human-friendly username. The channel ID (UC...) is the permanent internal identifier that never changes even if the channel rebrands. APIs and integrations should always use the channel ID.

How do I get a channel's RSS feed?

Once you have the channel ID, the RSS feed URL is: youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=YOUR_UC_ID - this tool shows the ready-made feed link with every result.

Can I find the ID of my own channel without this tool?

Yes - go to YouTube Studio → Settings → Channel → Advanced settings, where your channel ID is listed. For other people's channels, this tool is the fastest way.

Why does my channel have both a /c/ URL and an @handle?

YouTube migrated all channels to @handles in 2022-2023. Old custom /c/ URLs still redirect but are legacy. The underlying UC channel ID stayed the same through all these changes - which is exactly why integrations use it.
