YouTube Subtitle Downloader questions

What is the difference between SRT, VTT and TXT?

SRT and VTT keep caption timings for compatible players. TXT contains plain text for reading and editing.

Can I download Hindi subtitles?

Yes, when an accessible Hindi track is listed for the video. Missing languages are not translated automatically.

Can I download auto-generated captions?

Yes, when available. Tracks marked Auto use speech recognition and may contain mistakes.

Why is a subtitle file unavailable?

Captions may be absent, restricted or temporarily unavailable from YouTube. Retry or check the video on YouTube. Empty text is not saved as a successful download.
