Notes-ready Markdown

YouTube transcripts as Markdown for your notes

Markdown files drop straight into Obsidian, Notion, Logseq and most note apps. Each one starts with the video's title as a heading and a link back to the video, followed by the transcript.

Open the .md file in Obsidian, import it into Notion, or paste the text into any note.

Why use Free YT Bulk Transcripts

Title and source link

Each file starts with # Video title and Source: link, so you always know where a quote came from.

Timestamps as a list

With Timestamps on, every line becomes a bullet starting with its time in bold.

A folder of notes at once

Download the ZIP for a whole run: one .md file per video, named after its title.

Good for AI too

Markdown keeps sources apart when you give many transcripts to ChatGPT or Claude.

Tips for note apps

Obsidian: unzip the files into your vault folder; each video becomes a note.
Notion: use Import > Text & Markdown and pick the .md files.
Turn Timestamps off for a clean paragraph to highlight and annotate.
Downloads need a free account (25 free credits); the no-account preview shows text only.

Frequently asked questions

How do I save a YouTube transcript to Notion or Obsidian?

Get the transcript, click the Markdown button above it (or download the ZIP for many videos), then import the .md file into Notion or put it in your Obsidian vault.

What does the Markdown file contain?

A heading with the video title, a Source line with the video link, then the transcript: one paragraph, or one bullet per line with its time when Timestamps is on.

Can I get Markdown for a whole playlist?

Yes, on paid plans: paste the playlist link and download the ZIP, which has one .md file per video.

Does it keep other languages?

Yes. Hindi, Telugu, Japanese and other scripts are saved as UTF-8 and display correctly in note apps.

A free account gets 25 free credits (1 per video with captions). Without an account you can read 10 videos' text a day on screen.
