Free · Opens Dec 1 · For creators

YouTube Wrapped for creators.

From Dec 1, type your channel’s @handle and see its year: every video you published in 2026, the one that went furthest, the people in your comments, and the kind of creator you were.

One email on Dec 1, nothing else.

Looking for what you watched this year? That’s YouTube’s own Recap: youtube.com/recap

Sample cards. Ada Nwosu is made up; yours are made from your own posts.

What’s in your channel’s Wrapped

Four of your seven cards, made to be posted: 9:16 for your story, square for your feed. Tap one to see it full size.

  • Your year as a ring

    One line for every day of 2026, as long as that day’s reach. Your best line from your best video, set large underneath.

  • The video that went furthest

    In its real shape, with its real numbers, and how far it went past a typical video of yours.

  • The people in your comments

    The five people who commented on your videos most. When you share it, they’re tagged.

  • The kind of creator you were

    One plain label from a short list, with your weeks as proof and the rule printed underneath, so you can check it.

Every number comes from a video

  • Counted, not guessed

    Every number is added up from your videos. No AI estimates a total, and every card says where its number comes from.

  • Only what you made

    Videos you published from Jan 1 to Nov 30, 2026. Nothing you watched.

  • Fair comparisons

    “16× your usual” compares your best video with your median video, not the average, so one big hit doesn’t make the rest look small. It’s only shown at 3× or more.

  • Nothing that stings

    No follower losses, no “down from last year”, no rank in the bottom half. If a number doesn’t exist, the card leaves it out instead of showing a zero.

The kinds of creator, and the rule behind each

Each card prints its rule in small print. They’re checked in this order, and the first one that fits is yours. With fewer than 12 videos you get a shorter Wrapped without a type.

How it works

  1. Type your channel’s @handle

    From Dec 1. No Google sign-in to start: your videos are public, and Postel reads them through YouTube’s public API.

  2. See your channel’s year

    Every video you published in 2026, its views so far, and the people who showed up in your comments.

  3. Keep the cards

    Sign in with Google, X or LinkedIn in one tap for the full set. Save them as images for your story or feed, or post one on X or LinkedIn with text you can edit first.

What we read, and what we don’t

  • Your public videos and their public numbers, the same ones anyone sees on your channel.
  • Who commented most, counted from public comments. Only you see that card unless you share it.
  • Nothing from YouTube Studio, nothing private, and nothing about what you watched.
  • You decide whether your Wrapped gets a page others can open. You can delete it any time, and every page goes away on Mar 31, 2027.

Questions

Is this YouTube Recap?
No. YouTube’s Recap is about what you watched, and it’s at youtube.com/recap. This is for people who make videos: your channel’s year.
What’s in my channel’s Wrapped?
Every video you published from Jan 1 to Nov 30, 2026, their views so far, the video that went furthest compared with your typical one, the people who commented most, and the kind of creator you were, with the rule printed on the card.
Do I need to sign in with Google?
Not to start. You type your channel’s @handle and Postel reads your public videos through YouTube’s public API. To keep the cards and make a page to share, you sign in with one tap.
Why does it say “views so far”?
YouTube counts a video’s views since it went up, not per year. A video from March has had longer to collect views than one from November, so the cards say “so far” instead of pretending all those views happened in 2026.
Do Shorts count?
Yes. Shorts are videos on your channel, so they’re counted with the rest.
When can I get mine?
On Dec 1, 2026. Leave your email and you get one email that day, nothing else. The cards cover Jan 1 to Nov 30. In January they’re redone with the whole year, and you can make a new set.
Is it free?
Yes. There’s no paid version and no card to enter. You can start without an account. To keep your cards and share them, you sign in with one tap, with X, LinkedIn or Google. There’s no password to make.
Who makes this?
Postel, a small company in Berlin that makes a tool for writing and scheduling posts in your own voice. Wrapped is free whether or not you ever use Postel. See what Postel does
