How it works

01
Paste the channel link

Use the channel's address: youtube.com/@name, /channel/…, /c/… or /user/…. Add /shorts or /streams to the link to get Shorts or past live streams instead of normal videos.
02
Pick the videos

Videos are read newest first. Choose where to start and how many to get, up to your plan's limit per run (50, 100 or 250), and continue from the next number in your next run.
03
Search, copy or export

Search inside any transcript, copy it into ChatGPT or your notes, or download the batch as TXT, SRT, JSON, CSV, Excel or one ZIP.

Why use Free YT Bulk Transcripts

Videos, Shorts and streams

Normal uploads by default; add /shorts or /streams to the channel link for Shorts or past live streams.

Fair credit protection

1 credit per transcript received. Videos without captions, members-only or private videos are skipped for free.

Fast repeat runs

Videos that were fetched before come straight from our cache, so re-running a channel later is quick.

Analysis-ready files

Excel and CSV with titles, links and word counts, JSON for developers, or SRT subtitles for editors.

Good to know

Channel links are part of the paid credit packs (from $4.99 for 650 credits). Free accounts can paste up to 10 video links at once.
Very large channels are done in several runs: choose a start number each time (for example 1-250, then 251-500).
We read the captions YouTube already has, added by the creator or auto-generated. Videos without captions are listed as skipped and cost nothing.
Members-only and private videos can't be read.

Frequently asked questions

How do I download all the transcripts from a YouTube channel?

Paste the channel link (for example youtube.com/@name) and we add its videos, newest first, up to your plan's limit per run. Choose where to start and how many videos to get, then download them as TXT, SRT, JSON, CSV, Excel or a ZIP.

Can I get transcripts of a channel's Shorts or live streams?

Yes. Add /shorts or /streams to the end of the channel link to get Shorts or past live streams instead of normal uploads.

What if the channel has thousands of videos?

Each run handles up to 50, 100 or 250 videos depending on your pack. Run it again starting from the next number to continue. Credits never expire.

Do I pay for videos that have no transcript?

No. You only use a credit when you receive a transcript. Videos without captions, private or members-only videos cost 0 credits.

Can I use the transcripts with ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. Copy a transcript straight into your AI tool, or download plain text or JSON for a whole channel to build a knowledge base. Make sure your use respects the creator's rights.
