Free YouTube transcript tool
Get the words. Make something from them.
Extract a YouTube transcript in a few clicks, then turn the useful parts into content without starting from a blank page.
Get the transcript
Paste a public YouTube link. Copy the text, download subtitles, or turn the ideas into content.
Works with videos that have available captions. No account required to extract.
Built for the next step
A transcript is the source material, not the finish line.
Use the words from a video to take notes, research a topic, make subtitles, or create a first draft for the channel where your audience is already paying attention.
Find the angle
Pull out ideas worth discussing instead of replaying a video and writing everything by hand.
Create with context
Send the transcript to Bolta and choose the kind of content you want to create next.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is the YouTube Transcript Extractor free?
Yes. You can paste a public YouTube URL and extract available captions without creating a Bolta account.
Why can’t I get a transcript for a video?
A video may not have captions, captions may be restricted, or the caption source may be temporarily unavailable. Try another video or return in a few minutes.
Can I download the transcript?
Yes. Copy the transcript as plain text or download it as an SRT subtitle file.
Can Bolta turn my transcript into content?
After extracting a transcript, choose a LinkedIn post, X thread, newsletter, blog outline, key takeaways, or content calendar. Create a free account to open the transcript in Bolta’s composer.
Will Bolta publish content automatically?
No. Bolta brings your transcript and selected content goal into the composer, then waits for your direction before generating or publishing anything.
