YouTubeToScript supports all public YouTube videos including:

• Regular YouTube videos

• Music videos
• Unlisted videos (if you have the link)

Both youtube.com/watch and youtu.be URL formats are supported.

The transcript will be extracted in whatever language the video's subtitles are available in.

Transcript extraction requires the video to have subtitles or captions available (either auto-generated by YouTube or manually added by the creator).

Common reasons for failure:

• Video doesn't have any captions/subtitles
• Creator has disabled captions
• Video is private or age-restricted
• Video was recently uploaded (captions may take time to generate)

Yes! You can toggle timestamps on or off using the "Timestamps" button. When enabled, each line of the transcript will include the timestamp showing when that text appears in the video.

Format example: [1:23] This is the transcript text...

After extracting the transcript, simply click the "Copy" button above the transcript box. The entire transcript will be copied to your clipboard.

You can also download it as a .txt file using the "Download" button.

You can download thumbnails in 4 different sizes:

• HD Quality: 1280×720 pixels (recommended)
• SD Quality: 640×480 pixels
• HQ Quality: 480×360 pixels
• MQ Quality: 320×180 pixels

We recommend HD quality for best results, especially for social media and presentations.

Yes, YouTubeToScript fully supports YouTube Shorts. You can extract transcripts and download thumbnails from Shorts just like regular videos.

Simply paste the Shorts URL (youtube.com/shorts/...) and click Extract.

The transcripts are extracted from YouTube videos. While our tool is free to use, you should respect the original content creator's copyright.

For commercial use, we recommend getting permission from the video owner. The extracted content belongs to the original creator.

No, we don't store any personal data or search history. We don't track which videos you extract or download. Your privacy is important to us.

All processing is done in real-time, and no data is saved on our servers after the extraction is complete.
