🎙️ We transcribe the audio · Any file size
Three steps, nothing to install and no account needed.
Copy the YouTube video's URL and paste it above.
Fast (the video's own subtitles) or Max quality (audio transcript with AI).
Grab the text as TXT or the SRT file with timecodes for your editor.
The subtitles the video already has show up in a couple of seconds.
Max mode transcribes the audio just like a pro would.
We fix misspelled words and add punctuation. It's not the comma-less "wall of text" you get from YouTube.
The text to read or copy, or the SRT with timecodes to subtitle your video.
Works with videos in Spanish, English, Portuguese and many more.
We don't ask for your email or card. Paste the link and you're done.
Yes. You can download subtitles for free every day. AI transcription (Max mode) has a generous daily limit; if you need more, there's a paid plan.
Use Max mode: we transcribe the audio with AI and give you the text anyway, even if the creator never uploaded subtitles.
TXT is just the text, to read or copy. SRT comes with the exact timecodes, ready to load into a video editor (Premiere, CapCut, etc.) so it shows up in sync.
No. It runs in the browser, on your computer or your phone. No programs or extensions to install.
In the video's language. It works with videos in Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and many more; we respect each country's way of speaking.
Everything you need for your videos, in one place.

Fast mode pulls the existing captions YouTube already has, which is instant but depends on whatever the uploader (or YouTube's auto-captions) provided. Maximum Quality mode transcribes the audio with AI from scratch, which takes longer but works even when the video has no captions at all.
Yes, that's exactly what Maximum Quality mode is for. It ignores the caption track and generates a fresh transcript directly from the audio using AI.
The .srt file includes timestamps for each line, so it works as a subtitle file you can load into video editors or players. The .txt is plain text with no timestamps, better for reading, summarizing, or pasting into a document.
Only the .srt download contains timestamps tied to each line. The .txt version and the copy-to-clipboard option give you clean text without time codes.
You can pick the language you want the subtitles in when they're available on the video, but Creatoolkit doesn't translate audio on its own. For AI transcription, the output is in the spoken language of the video.
Those come from YouTube's own caption file, especially auto-generated ones. Using Maximum Quality mode usually gives a cleaner result since the AI transcribes the actual speech instead of relying on YouTube's captions.
Yes, as long as you paste the standard video URL. Live streams need to be finished and processed by YouTube before you can grab the transcript.
Unlisted videos work if you have the link. Private videos don't, since the tool can only access content that's publicly viewable.
The AI handles most accents well and filters out typical background noise, but heavy music, overlapping voices, or very poor audio quality will lower accuracy. Fast mode won't help here either since auto-captions struggle with the same conditions.
Yes. Download the .srt file and import it into your video editor (Premiere, CapCut, DaVinci, etc.) as a subtitle track, or upload it to YouTube Studio as a caption file.
