Free Tool

YouTube Transcript & Subtitles

Paste any YouTube link to fetch the full transcript with clickable timestamps. Copy it, or download it as a text file.

How it works

Copy any public YouTube link into the box. The tool finds the video's captions.

The full transcript appears with clickable timestamps. Click a line to jump to that moment.

Copy the text, copy it with timestamps, or download it as a text file.

Read the steps instead of replaying the video, and copy the parts you need.

Search the text for a keyword, then click the timestamp to jump straight there.

Copy exact wording for notes or references, instead of guessing from memory.

• Only videos with captions: if a video has no subtitles, the tool has nothing to fetch.
• Auto-captions can be wrong: machine captions may mishear names and terms. Check important lines against the video.
• Transcripts belong to their creators: use them for study and reference, and credit the source when you quote.
• Rate limits apply: too many requests in a row may pause the tool for a moment. Wait and try again.

Is the transcript tool free?+

Yes. Paste a link and read the transcript, no login required.

What if a video has no captions?+

The tool shows that no captions are available. Try a video with manual subtitles.

Can I download the transcript?+

Yes. Download it as a text file, or copy it with timestamps.

Are auto-captions accurate?+

Not always. Machine captions can mishear words, so check important lines against the video.

Why do I see a rate limit message?+

Too many requests in a row pause the tool for a moment. Wait a little and try again.

Can I use the transcript text anywhere?+

Use it for study and reference, and credit the creator when you quote.
