What subtitle.im does
subtitle.im is an all-in-one YouTube extension for getting, searching, copying and downloading transcripts, automatically turning captions on or off, and handling duplicate subtitles.
Transcript tools are part of the upcoming 1.6 release, currently a Chrome Web Store draft as of October 31, 2026. They use a video’s available captions: read and search the transcript, jump to matching moments, copy the full text or selected passages, and download TXT for free. Pro adds SRT, VTT, Markdown and PDF through the browser’s print/save-as-PDF flow. Videos without available captions are not transcribed.
Let captions follow YouTube or turn them on or off automatically. Handle overlapping YouTube captions according to your settings and restore them when needed. Subtitle detection and OCR run locally without uploading video frames. The extension does not generate or translate subtitles, or remove burned-in text.
Try duplicate-caption handling on 10 successfully processed videos without signup; this cumulative allowance does not reset monthly. Optional Pro provides continued handling, video and channel rules, and memory of confirmed decisions to turn captions off. Manual caption changes apply to the current viewing. See subtitle.im for current plans and availability.
