About YTScript
Whether you're a student taking notes from educational videos, a content creator researching topics, a journalist fact-checking quotes, or someone who simply prefers reading over watching — you deserve a tool that just works.
That's exactly what we built.
🚀 What We Do
YTScript is a free, fast, and intuitive online tool that extracts subtitles and transcripts from any YouTube video in seconds.
⚡ Instant Extraction
Paste a YouTube URL, click extract, and get your transcript immediately. No waiting, no complicated steps.
📄 Multiple Export Formats
Download your transcripts in TXT, SRT, VTT, or JSON — whatever format you need.
🕐 Timestamp Control
View transcripts with or without timestamps, depending on your needs.
🌙 Dark Mode
Easy on the eyes, especially during those late-night research sessions.
📱 Works Everywhere
Fully responsive design that works seamlessly on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
🔒 Privacy First

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
📖 The Story Behind YTScript
YTScript started as a personal project. Like many good tools, it was built to scratch an itch.
I was spending hours manually pausing videos, copying text, and piecing together transcripts. There had to be a better way. So I built one.
What started as a simple script became a full-featured tool when I realized others had the same frustration. The positive feedback from early users motivated me to refine the design, add more features, and make it available to everyone.
Today, YTScript helps thousands of people every day work more efficiently with video content. And we're just getting started.
