How it works

01
Paste the video link

One link in Single video, or switch to Bulk videos and paste many links (one per line). On paid plans you can paste a playlist or channel link.
02
Choose SRT

Pick SRT next to the tabs. SRT always includes start and end times, so there's nothing else to set.
03
Import it into your editor

One video downloads as a .srt file named after the video; several videos come as a ZIP with one .srt per video. Prefer WebVTT? Use the VTT button above the transcript, or the full ZIP.

Why use Free YT Bulk Transcripts

Works in your editor

Standard SRT files import into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, VLC and most video tools.

Bulk SRT in one ZIP

Paste up to 250 links per run (10 on the free plan) and get every subtitle file in one download.

Pay only for real subtitles

Videos without captions are skipped and cost 0 credits, so you never pay for an empty file.

Any caption language

English when the video has it, otherwise the video's own language, such as Hindi, Telugu or Spanish.

Good to know

We download the captions YouTube already has (added by the creator or auto-generated); we don't create new ones. Auto-generated captions can misspell names.
SRT uses times like 00:01:02,500; WebVTT (.vtt) uses 00:01:02.500 and starts with a WEBVTT line. Both come from the same captions.
The SRT file is named after the video title, so a batch stays easy to match with your footage.
Also need the plain text? Pick TXT, or the ZIP, which includes TXT, SRT, VTT, Markdown, JSON, CSV and Excel for every video.

Frequently asked questions

How do I download a YouTube video's subtitles as an SRT file?

Paste the video link, choose SRT next to the tabs and click Get transcript. The .srt file is ready to download straight away and is named after the video.

Can I download SRT files for many videos at once?

Yes. Switch to Bulk videos, paste the links (up to 250 per run on Pro, 10 on the free plan) and you get one ZIP with an SRT file per video. Paid plans can also use a playlist or channel link.

Do the SRT files work in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut?

Yes. They are standard SRT subtitle files with numbered, timed lines, which these editors and players like VLC can import.

Can I get WebVTT (.vtt) instead of SRT?

Yes. Use the VTT button above the transcript, or download the full ZIP, which includes a .vtt file for every video.

What if the video has no subtitles?

We can only download captions that exist on YouTube. Videos without any captions are marked "No captions" and cost no credits.
