Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about downloading YouTube subtitles.
Is the YouTube Subtitle Downloader free?
Yes. Our downloader is completely free with no hidden fees, no subscriptions, and no limit on the number of subtitles you can save.
What subtitle formats are supported?
We support all the common formats — SRT, VTT, TXT, JSON3, SRV1, SRV2, SRV3, and TTML — so you can pick whichever works best with your media player or video editor.
Can I download subtitles in multiple languages?
Yes. We list every subtitle the uploader added, which is often several languages, plus the original-language automatic captions — so you can choose before downloading. Machine-translated tracks are left out on purpose: YouTube generates those on request and they read far worse than a real one.
Why are some videos showing no subtitle available?
Not all videos have subtitles. If a video doesn't have manual subtitles or auto-generated captions enabled, our tool won't be able to find any.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Everything runs in your browser. There is nothing to download, install, or configure — it works on any device.
