Transcript Exporter for YouTube — Copy & Bulk Download

Description

View, copy & download YouTube transcripts. Bulk-export whole playlists/channels to TXT, Markdown, CSV or SRT. No account, no server. Get the transcript of any YouTube video in seconds, then copy it or download it as a clean text file. Need more than one? Export an entire playlist or channel at once. Transcript Exporter for YouTube is a fast, no-nonsense tool for turning YouTube videos into text. Open any video and a tidy panel shows the full YouTube transcript. Read it, copy the transcript to your clipboard, or download the YouTube transcript as TXT, Markdown, CSV, or SRT, with or without timestamps, in whatever caption language the video offers. It also works as a simple YouTube to text and transcript generator for notes, research, blog posts, subtitles, translation, and accessibility. ★ FREE - single video • View any video's transcript in a clean on-page panel • Click any timestamp to jump the video to that exact moment • Search inside the transcript with instant match highlighting • Auto-scroll follows the video and highlights the line being spoken • Copy transcript to clipboard with one click • Download YouTube transcript as TXT, Markdown, CSV, or SRT • Toggle timestamps on/off, or read in clean paragraph view • Pick the caption language when several are available • Works with auto-generated captions and manual captions • Matches YouTube's light and dark themes ★ PRO - bulk (one-time purchase, no subscription) • Bulk-export an entire playlist or channel • Paste a playlist/channel URL or start right from the page • Get a ZIP with one file per video, plus an index.csv (title, URL, duration, language, word count) so your data is organized • Choose TXT, Markdown, CSV, or SRT; optionally merge everything into one file • Polite, resumable export; close the popup or restart your browser and it picks up where it left off WHY CHOOSE THIS ONE • Reliability first. A dual-retrieval engine with automatic failover is built to keep working when YouTube changes — the #1 complaint about other transcript tools. A single config can be updated remotely to fix breakages fast. • Private by design. Everything runs locally in your browser. No account, no login to use the free features, no server, and we collect nothing. • No AI, no fluff, no surprise charges. The PRO upgrade is a single one-time purchase via Freemius (our payment provider / merchant of record). No recurring subscription. WHAT THIS DOES NOT DO • It does not download video or audio. • It does not summarize with AI. • It does not send your data anywhere. PERMISSIONS We ask only for what the features need: access to youtube.com (to read the transcript and drive YouTube's transcript panel), downloads (to save your files), and local storage (settings and resumable jobs). Details in our privacy policy. Questions or a video that won't export? Open Settings → Diagnostics, copy the log, and send it to us, it tells us exactly what to fix.
