AI-PoweredFrequently Asked Questions

Paste any YouTube URL into the TubeScript tool. It automatically extracts captions (auto-generated or creator-uploaded) with timestamps. You can copy the transcript or download it as TXT, SRT, or VTT.
Does YouTube Utils download or store videos?
No. YouTube Utils never downloads, stores, or redistributes any video content. All video playback uses YouTube's official embed player. We only extract publicly available text data (captions, metadata, thumbnails).
