How it works

01
Copy the playlist link

Open the playlist on YouTube and copy its address: it looks like youtube.com/playlist?list=… A video opened from a playlist also works; we'll ask whether you want just that video or the whole playlist.
02
Choose which videos

We show how many videos the playlist has. Pick where to start and how many to get, up to your plan's limit per run (50, 100 or 250). Big playlists can be done in several runs.
03
Download everything

Read each transcript in the browser or download the whole batch as TXT, SRT, JSON, CSV, Excel or one ZIP. Turn on Timestamps to add times to TXT, CSV and Excel.

Why use Free YT Bulk Transcripts

Up to 250 videos per run

Starter handles 50 links per run, Creator 100 and Pro 250. Course playlists and podcasts with hundreds of episodes work in a few runs.

Only pay for real transcripts

1 credit per video that has captions. Videos without captions, private or deleted videos are listed but cost nothing.

Any caption language

English captions are used when the video has them; otherwise its own language (Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Spanish and more), kept exactly as written.

Excel and CSV included

Get one row per video with title, link, word count and the full text, or one row per caption line with start and end times.

Good to know

Playlist links are part of the paid credit packs. Free accounts can still paste up to 10 video links at once.
YouTube "Mix" playlists are endless and can't be read. Watch later and Liked videos are private to your Google account: add those videos to a normal playlist set to Unlisted and paste that link instead.
Unlisted playlists work when you have the link. Private playlists can't be read.
Credits never expire, so you can buy once and use them across many playlists.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download all the transcripts of a YouTube playlist at once?

Yes. Paste the playlist link and we add its videos for you, up to your plan's limit per run (50, 100 or 250 videos). You can download the whole batch as TXT, SRT, JSON, CSV, Excel or one ZIP file.

What if the playlist has more videos than my plan allows?

You choose where to start and how many videos to get. For example, get videos 1-250 first, then run it again starting from 251.

Do videos without captions cost credits?

No. Videos without captions, private videos and deleted videos are marked as skipped and cost 0 credits. You only pay for transcripts you receive.

Can I get transcripts from a YouTube Mix, Watch later or Liked videos list?

Mix playlists are endless and can't be read. Watch later and Liked videos are private to your Google account. Add those videos to a normal playlist set to Unlisted and paste that playlist link.

Is the playlist feature free?

Playlist and channel links are part of the paid credit packs, which start at $4.99 for 650 credits. New accounts get 25 free credits to try single videos and lists of links.
