Everything you need to know about grabbing YouTube captions for free.
It’s the timed text track that runs under the video — either typed by the creator or generated automatically by YouTube’s speech recognition. We download that file directly rather than transcribing the video ourselves.
Yes. If a video has no manually written subtitles, we list YouTube’s auto-generated track instead, clearly marked so you know it may contain recognition errors.
SRT (the most widely supported subtitle format), VTT (used by web video players), and plain TXT with timestamps and formatting stripped out for reading or pasting into a document.
If the creator uploaded translated subtitle tracks, or YouTube auto-translated them, those languages will show up in the list alongside the original.
No. We can only read caption tracks YouTube serves publicly, so private videos and those with captions disabled won’t return a result.
Completely free, no account needed, and no cap on how many subtitle files you download.
Yes — SRT and VTT are plain text formats. Open them in any text editor or subtitle editor to retime, translate, or correct lines.
The creator may have disabled captions entirely, or YouTube hasn’t finished auto-generating them yet for a very recent upload. Try again later for new videos.
