Can I download subtitles in a language other than the video’s original?

Yes, if the video has more than one caption track available. Many creators add several caption tracks, and YouTube’s auto-translate covers additional languages for some videos. You’ll only see the languages in YouTube Subtitle Downloader that actually exist for that specific video.

Does this work if the video has no captions at all?

No. If YouTube has no caption track for the video, whether creator-uploaded or auto-generated, there’s nothing to extract yet.

What’s the difference between SRT and TXT?

SRT includes timestamps so the text stays synced to the video. TXT is plain spoken text with no timing and is intended for reading rather than playback.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You do not need to create an account for YouTube Subtitle Downloader. Simply paste the YouTube link and download the available subtitles.

Is downloading subtitles for personal use against YouTube’s rules?

YouTube’s Terms restrict downloading content without authorization. Using captions privately for yourself may carry low practical risk, but that does not mean YouTube explicitly grants permission. Redistributing or republishing someone else’s captions can raise additional copyright or terms-of-service concerns.
