Overview

Copy a YouTube video's transcript as plain text from a popup.

YouTube Copy Transcript is a clean, minimal Chrome extension for copying YouTube video subtitles as readable plain text. Open a video, choose the subtitle track, click copy, and paste the transcript anywhere. ✨ Features: - Copy YouTube transcripts from a compact popup - Supports manual and auto-generated subtitles - Keeps useful timestamps - Cleans repeated captions, markup, HTML entities, and extra whitespace - Groups tiny caption fragments into readable paragraphs - Automatically prefers the subtitle track closest to your browser language 🔒 Privacy-friendly by design: - No ads - No analytics - No tracking - No external services - No background server - Only works with the active YouTube tab This extension is open source, simple, and intentionally minimal. I originally built it for myself because I wanted a fast, reliable way to copy YouTube transcripts without clutter or distractions, and I'm sharing it in case it is useful for you too.
