Subtitle Downloader for YouTube

About

Subtitle Downloader for YouTube lets you save the captions of any YouTube video to your computer in seconds — as SRT, VTT, or TXT.

Whether the captions were uploaded by the creator, auto-generated by YouTube's speech recognition, or auto-translated into your language, this extension grabs the exact text and saves it as a clean subtitle file.

★ KEY FEATURES
• One-click download — a clear "Download subtitles" button appears right under the video.
• All caption types — manual, auto-generated (ASR), and auto-translated tracks.
• Any language — download the original track, or translate it into any of YouTube's ~125 target languages.
• Three formats — SRT (video players & editors), VTT (web/HTML5), or TXT (plain transcript).
• Right-click menu — quickly grab the default track without opening the panel.
• Remembers your preferred default format.
• Fully localized interface — English, 中文（简体/繁體）, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português, Русский.

★ HOW TO USE
1. Open any YouTube video.
2. Click the "Download subtitles" button below the player.
3. Choose the subtitle track, an optional translation language, and a format.
4. Click Download — the file is saved to your downloads folder.

Tip: If a track has not been shown yet, turn on the player's "Subtitles (CC)" once (the extension can also trigger this automatically) so it can fetch the subtitle data.

★ PRIVACY
• No accounts, no tracking, no ads.
• Runs only on youtube.com.
• Does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Your format preference is saved locally on your device only.
