Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download YouTube subtitles?
Paste the YouTube video URL above and click Get Subtitles. All available caption tracks will be listed. Select your language, choose SRT, VTT, or TXT format, then click Download.
What subtitle formats are available?
SRT (SubRip) — the most widely used format for video editing software like Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. VTT (WebVTT) — ideal for web players and HTML5 video. TXT — plain text for reading, translation, or repurposing content.
Can I download auto-generated YouTube captions?
Yes — both manually uploaded captions and YouTube's auto-generated captions (available on most English-language videos) can be downloaded. Auto-generated captions are labelled in the track list.
What if a video has no subtitles?
If the creator has not uploaded captions and YouTube has not generated auto-captions (common for non-English content or low-clarity audio), no tracks will be available to download.
Can I use downloaded SRT files in video editing software?
Yes — SRT files work directly in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, VLC, and virtually every video editor. Import the SRT file as a subtitle track to burn in captions or add them as a separate layer.
Can I download subtitles in languages other than English?
Yes — all available caption tracks for a video are shown, which can include multiple languages if the creator has uploaded them. Auto-generated captions are usually only available in the video's original language.
