Turn Any YouTube Video into an Instant Infographic (Free)

Let’s be real: we all have a “Watch Later” playlist on YouTube that is wildly out of control. You find a video that promises to change your life or business, but it’s 45 minutes long and you just don’t have the time.

Here’s the thing: you don’t need to watch the whole video to get the value anymore.

There is a new workflow using Gemini (specifically its new “Nano Banana Pro” image engine that takes a video URL and spits out a perfectly summarized infographic in seconds.

It is completely free, surprisingly accurate, and takes about two minutes.

Here is the exact step-by-step on how to do it.

Step 1: Get Your Setup Ready

First, copy the URL of the YouTube video you want to learn from.

Next, open a new chat in Gemini. You don’t need a paid subscription for the basic features, but this specific image generation works best if you are using their latest models.

Step 2: Extract the Gold

We need to tell Gemini to watch the video for us. We aren’t just asking for a summary; we are asking it to structure the data specifically for a visual format.

Paste this exact prompt into the chat:

“Analyse the content of this YouTube video: [PASTE YOUR URL HERE]. First, provide a full, accurate transcript. Second, analyse the transcript and condense the video’s main argument into 5-7 distinct, numbered key points suitable for an infographic.”

Gemini will take a moment to “watch” the video and give you a text breakdown. Once that’s done, you are ready for the visual part.

Step 3: Generate the Visual

Now for the magic. We are going to use the Nano Banana Pro engine (which usually runs automatically in the background for complex image tasks) to visualize that data.

You can either look for the “Create images” button in the Tools menu, or simply type this prompt directly into the chat:

“Generate an image of an infographic explaining the concept presented in the video.”

That’s it.

Gemini will load the model and generate a visual cheat sheet for you. You can save it to your phone for later reference, or share it with your team so everyone gets the key insights without the hour-long meeting.

Why This Matters

We are drowning in content but starving for time. This isn’t just a cool AI trick; it’s a productivity hack. Whether you are studying for a certification, trying to learn a new marketing strategy, or just want the key takeaways from a podcast, this workflow bridges the gap between “I should watch that” and “I know that.”
