When citing video content, creating chapter markers, or editing video footage, having exact timestamps is essential. Our YouTube Transcript with Timestamps tool formats every line of text with its corresponding start offset and duration, making cross-referencing effortless.
Timestamps allow video editors to locate exact soundbites instantly, podcasts to build accurate show notes, and students to reference video lectures with exact minute markers.

Everything you need to know about extracting YouTube transcripts
Yes, completely free! We're currently offering unlimited transcript downloads at no cost. No credit card, no hidden fees, no account required. Just paste a URL and download your transcript.
Super fast! Single video transcripts are ready in about 10 seconds. For bulk downloads, we process everything in parallel: a 100-video channel takes roughly 1 minute, and even a massive 1000-video channel only takes 1-2 minutes. That's 100x faster than doing it manually!
Yes! This is one of our most popular features. Just paste the channel URL, and we'll automatically find all public videos and extract their transcripts in bulk. For example, a channel with 500 videos will be processed in about 90 seconds. Perfect for researchers, content creators, and anyone analyzing large amounts of video content.
You can download in three formats: TXT (clean, readable text), JSON (structured data with timestamps and metadata for developers), and LLM-ready format (optimized for AI training with ChatGPT, Claude, etc.). You can also choose to include or exclude timestamps!
Nope! That's the beauty of our service—no setup required. You don't need to provide API keys, connect your YouTube account, or do any technical configuration. Just paste the video URL and go. We handle all the backend connections for you.
If a video doesn't have any captions available, we'll let you know. No worries — just try another video!
Absolutely! If a YouTube video has captions in multiple languages, you can download any of them. By default, we grab the primary language (the one spoken in the video), but you can choose other available subtitle languages too. This works for any language YouTube supports!
We're offering free unlimited access during our launch period. We may introduce premium plans in the future, but there will always be a generous free tier available.
