Single video
Download an available caption file immediately, including an auto-translation when YouTube provides it.
Chrome extension
YouTube Video Playlist Transcript Downloader
Download available captions from public videos, playlists, and channels as Markdown, text, or a filtered ZIP.
Chrome Web Store listing pending — installation is not available today.
Focused bulk export
Search titles, limit by publication period, preview matches, then export a public channel or playlist as one ZIP.
Files ready for notes or research
Choose Markdown or plain text, with the timestamps and metadata that suit your next step.
How it works
Export only the videos you need.
- 01
Open a video, public channel, or public playlist
The extension puts the relevant control directly into YouTube.
- 02
Choose the available track and settings
Set format, timestamps, metadata, and—when exporting in bulk—title and publication-period filters.
- 03
Download one file or a focused ZIP
Videos without usable captions are skipped so available files can still be saved.
What availability means
The extension downloads only caption tracks YouTube makes available for each public video. It does not transcribe audio. A bulk result can be partial when some videos have no usable captions; available files are still packaged together.
