User Reviews

What's the use? I don't see the value, since you can simply copy the transcript yourself without all that JSON nuisance text.

This tool works great, does just one thing, but does it well.

by in*****, 2025-08-17

Generally works really well, occasionally, the download button won't appear, but I've only experienced this with new videos so far. So I am hopeful this is a transient issue.

Is Youtube Transcript Downloader 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.

Youtube Transcript Downloader requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
