About GrabScript

What is GrabScript?

GrabScript is a free YouTube transcript generator that lets you instantly extract clean, timestamped transcripts from any YouTube video. No login required, no paywall, no watermarks.

Whether you're a student taking notes, a researcher analyzing content, a content creator repurposing videos, or just someone who prefers reading over watching — GrabScript makes it effortless.

How It Works

Simply paste a YouTube URL (regular videos, Shorts, or livestreams) and hit Generate. GrabScript fetches the caption track from the video, formats it cleanly with timestamps, and presents it in a searchable, copyable interface.

• Supports all languages that have captions on YouTube
• Auto-detects the video's language
• Works with YouTube Shorts and regular videos
• Copy to clipboard or download as a .txt file
• Search within the transcript instantly

Why Free?

We believe access to text versions of publicly available videos should be easy and free. GrabScript is a passion project — built to be useful, not to monetize your data or attention.

Built With Care

GrabScript is designed with clean aesthetics, fast performance, and user privacy at its core. We don't use cookies, we don't track you, and we don't store your data. The tool is lightweight, responsive, and works on any device.
