About this chapter marker tool

Modern podcast players show clickable chapters in the playback bar so listeners can skip to specific topics. The chapters live inside the MP3 file as ID3v2 CHAP frames — once written, every podcast app picks them up automatically.

Drop your finished episode in, add timestamp + title pairs, and download the chapter-tagged MP3. No upload.

Chapter markers FAQ

Will Spotify show chapters?

Spotify reads chapters from RSS-feed-level data, not from inside the MP3. For Spotify chapters, configure them in your podcast host's dashboard. Apple, Overcast and most others read from the MP3 directly.

How many chapters can I add?

There's no hard cap. 5–15 is typical for a one-hour episode; podcasts use one per topic shift.

Will the audio quality drop?

No. The audio stream is copied through unchanged — only metadata frames are added.

Is my file kept private?

Yes. We don't analyse or index your file.
