YouTube Pinned Comment Generator — Free AI Tool

Put your most important message in the most visible spot.

How to Use the YouTube Pinned Comment Generator
Describe Your Video and Goal
Enter what your video is about and what action you want your pinned comment to drive. The more specific your goal — email signup, free download, poll engagement — the more targeted the output.
Generate 3 Pinned Comment Options
Click Generate to receive three distinct pinned comment styles optimized for different objectives and engagement tactics.
Pin Within the First Hour
Post and pin your chosen comment as soon as the video goes live. The earlier it's pinned, the more views it accumulates at the top of the comment section.

Pro Tips
Pin a comment with a direct question to kickstart comment activity — videos that receive comments in the first 30 minutes are treated as high-engagement by YouTube's algorithm.
Use the pinned comment to surface your most important link since YouTube description links have low visibility on mobile — the pinned comment is always above the fold.
Update your pinned comment periodically — swap promotional content for a top viewer comment as a 'community spotlight' to reward engaged subscribers.
Never make your pinned comment a pure CTA without value. Comments that ask for engagement without offering something first convert poorly and feel transactional.
Use Cases
Email List Building
Drive newsletter signups by offering a free resource in the pinned comment with a direct link — often more visible than the description link on mobile.
Resource Distribution
Share free templates, checklists, or downloads that complement the video and give viewers a reason to click-through beyond the video itself.
Engagement Amplification
Start a discussion with a pinned question that directly relates to the video's core topic, warming up the comment section for organic replies.
Announcement & Updates
Pin time-sensitive updates (new products, new uploads, live streams) where they'll be seen by every viewer who scrolls to comments.
Community Voting
Use pinned comments to run informal polls about your next video topic — this generates high comment volume and directly informs your content calendar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a YouTube pinned comment?
A pinned comment is a comment you leave on your own video that appears at the top of the comment section, above all other comments. It's premium real estate for promoting resources, links, or starting discussions.
How do I pin a comment on YouTube?
Go to your video → Comments section → Find your comment → Click the three-dot menu (⋮) → Select 'Pin comment.' On mobile: tap and hold the comment → Pin.
What should I put in a pinned comment?
Best uses: free resources/downloads, Patreon/membership links, correction notes, viewer questions to start discussion, timestamps if not in description, or a 'Save for later' reminder.
Does a pinned comment increase engagement?
Yes. Pinned comments with questions drive comment volume. YouTube's algorithm rewards comment activity as an engagement signal, which can improve search and suggested video placement.
Can I pin other people's comments?
Yes — you can pin any viewer's comment on your video, not just your own. Pinning a great viewer comment as a 'community spotlight' encourages more viewers to leave thoughtful comments.
