YouTube Subtitle Downloader
Download the subtitles from any YouTube video as a ready-to-use .SRT or .VTT file. Paste a link, and your subtitles are one click away — timestamps included, no sign up.
Download YouTube subtitles the easy way
Subtitle files power a lot of work — video editing, re-uploads, translations, accessibility, and repurposing content. But YouTube does not give you a simple download button. This YouTube subtitle downloader does: paste a link, and you get a clean subtitle file with the correct timing, ready to drop into Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or any player.
You can download in SRT (the universal subtitle format) or WebVTT (used on the web and by HTML5 video). Both keep the original timestamps so your captions stay perfectly in sync.
SRT, VTT, or plain text
SRT works almost everywhere — video editors, media players, and upload tools accept it out of the box. VTT is the standard for web players and HTML5 video. If you only need the words, grab the plain-text version instead.
Every download is generated on the fly from the video’s own captions, so there is nothing to install and no watermark.
How to download subtitles from a YouTube video
1. Copy the YouTube video link
Open the video on YouTube and copy its URL from the address bar or the Share button. Any normal link works — full watch links, short youtu.be links, even Shorts.
2. Paste it in and click Get Subtitles
Drop the link into the box above and press Get Subtitles. In a couple of seconds the video’s captions are pulled and shown on this page, already timed.
3. Pick your format and download
Use the Download button to save the subtitles as SRT (works almost everywhere) or VTT (for web and HTML5 video). Prefer just the words? Grab the plain-text version instead.
4. Drop the file into your editor or player
Import the SRT or VTT into Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, VLC, or your upload tool. Because the timings are preserved, your captions stay perfectly in sync.
