Download a YouTube Transcript
Export any YouTube video's transcript as a file. LinkTranscript supports plain text, Markdown, SRT, and VTT, so you can take the transcript into your notes app, document, or video editor.
Every download includes the video title, source URL, language, and the date it was generated, so your files stay organized and traceable.
Four formats for four jobs
TXT for quick reading and sharing, Markdown for docs and note apps, and SRT or VTT for subtitle workflows in editors and web players. Pick the one that fits where the transcript is going next.
Timestamps where it matters
SRT and VTT carry precise cue timings. For TXT and Markdown you can choose whether to include timestamps before you export.
This is a transcript tool, not a video downloader
LinkTranscript downloads the text of a video — its captions — not the video file itself. It is built for notes, research, and repurposing.
