No copy-pasting, no third-party websites, no hassle. 🎯 WHAT TUBIO DOES Tubio is a YouTube transcript downloader that lives in your browser's side panel. Navigate to any YouTube video, playlist, or channel, open Tubio, and download transcripts instantly in five professional formats. 📄 5 EXPORT FORMATS • TXT — Clean plain text with optional [HH:MM:SS] timestamps • JSON — Structured data with full metadata for developers • CSV — Spreadsheet-ready, RFC 4180 compliant • SRT — Professional subtitle format with millisecond precision • VTT — WebVTT subtitle format for web players Bulk SRT and VTT downloads are automatically packaged as a ZIP with individually numbered files. 🎚️ ADJUSTABLE CHUNK SIZE Control how transcript segments are grouped before download. YouTube's default chunks are about 5 seconds each. Tubio lets you merge them into larger blocks — 10s, 15s, 30s, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes — so you get clean, readable paragraphs instead of short caption fragments. The live preview updates as you adjust. 📦 BULK DOWNLOAD — UP TO 800 VIDEOS Download transcripts from entire playlists and channels automatically.
