FAQ

Common Questions

Does YT Transcript Extractor work on all YouTube videos?+

It works on any YouTube video that has captions available — either uploaded by the creator or auto-generated by YouTube. Videos without any captions cannot be transcribed by any tool, since there's no transcript data to extract.

Is the extension really free?+

Yes, completely free. No premium tier, no usage limits, no account required. Just install and use.

Does it support languages other than English?+

Absolutely. YT Transcript Extractor supports all languages available on YouTube, including auto-generated captions in dozens of languages. It also fully supports right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew.

What export formats are supported?+

You can export transcripts as TXT (plain text), SRT (subtitle format compatible with video editing tools), or CSV (spreadsheet-friendly format with timestamp columns).

Does the extension send my data anywhere?+

No. The extension reads the transcript data directly from YouTube's own caption files within your browser. No transcript data is sent to our servers. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
