How to Download Subtitles with yt-dlp

  1. 粘贴 a single video URL into the box above. YouTube, Vimeo, TED, Bilibili, and 1000+ sites supported by yt-dlp all work.
  2. Pick a language — after analysis, every available subtitle language is listed, split into uploader subtitles and auto-generated captions. Use the search box to find a language fast, and toggle between SRT and VTT output.
  3. 下载 — click a language and the caption file is generated server-side and offered as an instant download link. No command line, no Python, no updates to manage.

Why Our yt-dlp Subtitle Downloader is Different

Many subtitle sites only scrape a single language, break on auto-generated captions, or bury the file behind ads. By running the authentic yt-dlp engine on robust servers, we list every language a video actually offers and convert it cleanly to SRT or VTT.

Because captions are extracted on our servers, you also sidestep the "sign in to confirm you are not a bot" blocks that so often break subtitle scraping on home connections. No terminal, no Python install, and no dependency updates to babysit — just paste a link and pick a language.

yt-dlp Subtitle Download CLI Commands

Prefer the command line? Here are copy-ready yt-dlp commands for grabbing captions in any language:

1. List every available subtitle and caption language

Prints all uploader-provided subtitles and auto-generated captions a video offers, so you know exactly which language codes to request.

yt-dlp --list-subs "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"

2. Download one language as SRT (no video)

Fetches the uploader subtitles in the chosen language, converts them to SRT, and skips the video download entirely.

yt-dlp --write-subs --sub-langs en --convert-subs srt --skip-download "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"

3. Grab manual and auto captions in every language as VTT

Downloads both uploader subtitles and YouTube auto-generated captions for all available languages and converts them to web-ready VTT files.

yt-dlp --write-subs --write-auto-subs --sub-langs all --convert-subs vtt --skip-download "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"

常见问题

How do I download subtitles from a YouTube video?

Paste the video URL, click Analyze, then pick a language from the list of available subtitles. Choose SRT or VTT and click a language to download — the caption file is generated server-side and appears as a download link.

What is the difference between SRT and VTT subtitles?

SRT (SubRip) is the most widely supported format and works in almost every video player and editor. VTT (WebVTT) is the standard for HTML5 web video and supports styling. Pick SRT for editing and playback, VTT for web use.

Can I download auto-generated captions?

Yes. When a video has no uploader-provided subtitles, YouTube auto-generated captions (and their auto-translated languages) are listed separately. Select one and download it as SRT or VTT.

Do you support subtitles in other languages?

Yes. Every language the video offers is listed after analysis, including auto-translated captions in 100+ languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
