Transcript Downloader for YouTube: Bulk Channel & Playlist | YTAPI

Download transcripts of a whole YouTube channel or playlist in one zip. Free transcript panel, SRT export and AI summaries.

Read the transcript of any YouTube video in a side panel, right next to the video. Copy it, download it, summarize it with your favorite AI, or export the transcripts of a whole channel or playlist in one go. TRANSCRIPTS, FREE • Open a video and its transcript is there. The panel follows you to the next video. • Click any line to jump to that moment. • Copy the transcript, or download it as Markdown, plain text, SRT subtitles or JSON, with or without timestamps. • Pick another caption language when the video has several. • Your 20 most recent transcripts stay in the Recent tab, on your device. • No account needed. SUMMARIZE WITH AI • One click opens ChatGPT, Claude or Grok with a ready prompt and a link to the transcript. Review the prompt and press send. • Choose the answer language: the video's own or one of 16 others. • Prefer another AI? "Copy prompt" copies the prompt with the transcript, ready to paste anywhere. EXPORT A WHOLE CHANNEL OR PLAYLIST • On a channel or playlist page, export every transcript at once, or pick the videos you want. • You get a zip with one file per video plus one combined file, ready to drop into NotebookLM, ChatGPT or Claude. • Large exports run on our servers. We email you a download link when they are done, and you can close the browser meanwhile. • Exports need a free ytapi.dev account. New accounts get 200 credits; an export costs 1 credit per video, and videos without captions are free. PRIVACY • Transcripts are loaded in your browser, directly from YouTube. Nothing is sent to us unless you use a server feature (an export, Ask AI, or a fetch YouTube refused in the browser). • No ads, no tracking of the pages you visit. Anonymous usage counts only, with no video IDs, titles or transcript text. • Privacy policy: https://ytapi.dev/legal/privacy-policy FOR DEVELOPERS The same transcripts are available through the YTAPI transcript API, with SDKs for Python and JavaScript and an MCP server for AI agents: https://docs.ytapi.dev YTAPI is an independent service.
