How to download video subtitles as SRT

Choose subtitles-only mode

Choose Subtitles only (SRT), then paste and parse the URL. This mode needs a working yt-dlp installation but does not require FFmpeg. Available languages depend on the video.

Understand caption sources

Availability depends on the website and video. Automatic captions can contain errors, especially in names, numbers and overlapping speech. Missing languages are not automatically generated.

Match subtitles to the video

SRT contains timecodes and text. Keep it beside the matching video and load it in your player. Matching base filenames help some players detect subtitles. Edited videos may need timing adjustments.

When no captions are found

Confirm captions exist on the original site, then check your login state and update the engine. If the source exposes no downloadable track, use a separate transcription tool. Downloading the video again does not create captions.

Sources and support

Platform support relies on yt-dlp extractors and can change as platforms evolve.
