Extract All Transcripts from a YouTube Channel

Paste a channel URL or @handle, pick the videos you need, and get every transcript in one place - free, no signup.

Fast, free, and no card required. SSL secured.

How it works

  1. Paste the channel's URL (or just its @handle) into the box above.
  2. Browse its uploaded videos, loading more pages as needed.
  3. Select up to 10 videos and click Extract - each transcript is fetched in the background.
  4. Copy the combined text or download it as a single .txt file.

Why extract a whole channel

Research a creator's back catalog

Pull transcripts across a channel's uploads to search for when a topic was covered, without watching every video.

Competitor and market analysis

See exactly what a competitor's channel says across its videos - product claims, pricing mentions, recurring talking points.

Archive or repurpose a channel

Turn a channel's catalog into searchable text for show notes, a knowledge base, or feeding into your own AI/RAG pipeline.

Need more than 10 videos at a time?

This tool is built for quick, one-off research - no account, no cost. For a full channel, scheduled/recurring pulls, or wiring this into an AI agent, use the public API (channel listing, in-channel search, and transcripts, from $5/month for 1,000 credits) or install it as an MCP/agent skill directly in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

Channel Transcript Extraction FAQs

How do I extract transcripts from an entire YouTube channel?

Paste the channel's URL or @handle above, wait for its videos to load, select the ones you want (or use "Select first 10"), then click Extract. You can copy the combined text or download it as a .txt file.

Is this free, and do I need to sign up?

Yes - listing a channel's videos and extracting up to 10 transcripts per batch is free with no account. Signing up isn't required for this tool.

Why is there a 10-video cap per extraction?

Fetching an uncached video's transcript costs us a real request to our scraping infrastructure, so an unlimited anonymous bulk tool isn't sustainable. 10 per batch covers most quick research tasks; you can run it again for more.

What if I need a whole channel (hundreds of videos) or recurring pulls?

Use the public API's /channel/videos and /transcript endpoints, or connect our MCP server to an AI agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.) - both are credit-metered with no per-batch cap, starting at $5/month for 1,000 credits.

Does this work on any channel?

Any public YouTube channel with a standard /videos tab. Private or unlisted content isn't accessible, same as browsing YouTube directly.
