Paste a video link. The caption file comes back as SRT or VTT, timings intact.
To download YouTube subtitles, paste the video link, pick SRT or VTT and press Download. You get the caption file itself, with the in and out times YouTube sent, named after the video. It is free and needs no account.
This is a subtitle extractor, not a transcriber. We read the caption track the video already has and never run speech recognition, so a video with no captions gives no file.
When a video has several tracks, we take a manual English track first, then any English track, then the first manual track, then the first track. To choose a language yourself, use the home page, which has a language picker.
SRT is the default. Both formats are free here. We write the millisecond separator each format expects, a comma for SRT and a full stop for VTT, so a player does not reject a file that looks fine in a text editor.
Paste the video link here, choose SRT or VTT, and press Download. The file is named after the video. It works for public and unlisted videos that have a caption track, free and with no account.
Both words describe the same job here. We extract the caption track YouTube already has and hand it to you as a file you can download. Nothing is transcribed from the audio.
No. The words and times are the same. VTT can store voices and placement and plays in a browser video element. SRT is accepted in more editors.
No. SRT and VTT are both free on this page, with no account.
Not on this page. It takes a manual English track first, then any English track, then the first manual track, then the first track. The home page lets you pick any language the video has.
Not here. This page gives caption files only. For a TXT transcript, use the Transcript Generator or the home page.
Either the video has no caption track, or it is private, members-only or age-restricted. With no track there is no file to download. We do not invent cues.
