Paste a video link to pull its real captions — toggle timestamps on or off, then copy or download.
Only works on videos that actually have captions available — auto-generated or manually uploaded.
A downloaded subtitle file is a real starting point for translation, editing captions in post, or building an accessible version of your own content.
The same real caption extraction as the Transcript Viewer, packaged as a downloadable text file.
Download the version that matches your workflow — timestamped for re-syncing to an edit, plain for translation or reference.
Not every video has captions. If the creator disabled auto-captions and never uploaded their own, there's genuinely nothing to extract — the same as clicking the CC button on YouTube itself and seeing nothing appear.
Exactly as accurate as YouTube's own captions for that video — we're reading the real caption track, not generating our own. Auto-captions can contain the same errors you'd see with CC turned on.
We build, edit, and grow fully automated YouTube channels end-to-end. Strategy, production, SEO, and monetization. You own the asset.
