FAQ

YouTube Subtitle Downloader — FAQ

How do I download subtitles from a YouTube video online?

Copy the YouTube video link, paste it into the field above and click “Find”. You'll see every available subtitle language. Pick one and the subtitle text appears on screen. Copy the text or download it as a TXT file.

What languages can I download YouTube subtitles in?

We pull every subtitle track available for the video: the creator's own subtitles and auto-generated ones. If YouTube offers translations into other languages, you'll get those too. Which languages are available depends on the video and is up to YouTube.

What format can I download YouTube subtitles in?

Subtitles download as TXT — clean text with no timestamps. Handy for reading, translating, writing articles, taking notes and analyzing content. You can also copy the text straight from the page.

Can I download auto-generated YouTube subtitles?

Yes. If the creator didn't add subtitles, YouTube often generates them automatically with speech recognition. We extract those too — they're labeled “auto” in the language list.

How do I download YouTube subtitles in another language?

It depends on the video. For videos with manual subtitles, YouTube usually offers translations into many languages. For auto-generated subtitles (speech recognition), translation options are limited — often just English. All available translation languages show up automatically once the video is analyzed.

What if a YouTube video has no subtitles?

If the creator didn't add subtitles and YouTube didn't auto-generate them, there's nothing to extract. This happens with short videos, music videos and videos with no speech.

Can I download YouTube subtitles on my phone?

Yes. It works in any mobile browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox. Copy the subtitle text or download a TXT file straight to your phone.

Is there a limit on requests?

You get one free action a day; after that, you pay with credits. Extract subtitles from as many videos as you like.

Why can't I download translated YouTube subtitles?

Subtitle translations are generated by YouTube's servers. When there are too many requests, YouTube may temporarily limit access — if that happens, try again in 1-2 minutes. Original (untranslated) subtitles load reliably with no limits.

Why does YouTube show so few languages for subtitle translation?

The number of translation languages depends on the video. If the creator uploaded subtitles manually, YouTube offers translations into 100+ languages. If they're auto-generated (speech recognition), YouTube often limits translation to one or two languages. That's a YouTube limitation, not ours.

YouTube subtitles won't download — what should I do?

Make sure the video link is correct and the video is available in your region. If you see a temporary restriction message, wait 1-2 minutes and try again. For the most reliable results, pick the original subtitle language instead of a translation.
