Features & Capabilities

Grab, don't scrape Most extensions open transcript panels and scrape text from the page. This one calls YouTube's internal API directly, the same endpoint YouTube uses. Faster, cleaner, more reliable.

Two ways to grab → Blue "Grab" button appears next to Subscribe → Click the toolbar icon from any video page One click either way. Transcript lands in your clipboard with timestamps.

What you get

Instant extraction via YouTube's transcript API Timestamps formatted as (0:00) for easy reference Works with any video that has captions Minimal footprint, no bloat, no tracking Clean blue design that doesn't look like an ad

Zero data collection No analytics. No external servers. Just you, YouTube's API, and your clipboard.

User Reviews

Useful extension, but version 1.0.0 currently returns “No transcript available” because YouTube changed its transcript API response and transcript-panel structure. I inspected the source and made a working local patch with updated API parsing, caption-track fallback, and support for the current visible transcript panel. There doesn’t appear to be a working support or GitHub link on the listing—the homepage in the manifest only points to github.com itself. Please reply here with a repository or contact address and I’d be happy to provide the patch.

Is Transcript Grab for YouTube Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Transcript Grab for YouTube requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
