FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about our YouTube tools

How do I get the transcript of a YouTube video?

Use our free YouTube Transcript Generator: paste the video URL, click "Generate Transcript", and get the full text with timestamps. You can export to SRT, VTT, TXT, or other formats. It works with auto-generated captions and supports 100+ languages.

What is a YouTube transcript and how is it different from subtitles?

A YouTube transcript is a text document of all spoken words in a video with timestamps. Subtitles are timed text displayed over video during playback. Our tool extracts subtitles/captions and converts them into downloadable transcript files you can search, copy, and reference offline.

What is the YouTube thumbnail size?

The recommended YouTube thumbnail size is 1280×720 pixels (HD, called "maxresdefault"). YouTube also generates smaller versions: sddefault (640×480), hqdefault (480×360), mqdefault (320×180), and default (120×90). Our downloader lets you download all available sizes.

How do I download a YouTube thumbnail?

Paste any YouTube video URL into our Thumbnail Downloader, click "Get Thumbnails", and download in your preferred size. We show all available resolutions from HD (1280×720) to default (120×90), plus channel banners and profile pictures.

How do I find my YouTube comment history?

For your own comment history, visit youtube.com/feed/history/comment_history when logged in. To extract comments from any video, use our Comment Extractor: paste the URL, extract all comments, then search by username to find specific comments.

Can I download all YouTube comments to a file?

Yes! Our YouTube Comment Extractor downloads all comments including replies, like counts, timestamps, and author info. Export to JSON for developers, CSV for spreadsheets, or plain text. Perfect for research, giveaways, or audience analysis.

How do I summarize a YouTube video with AI?

Install our YouTube Video Summarizer Chrome extension, add a free Gemini API key from Google AI Studio, then click "Summarize Video" on any YouTube video. You'll get AI-generated chapters, key points, timestamps, and TL;DW summary in seconds.

Is the YouTube video summarizer free?

Yes, completely free! The Chrome extension is free, and Google's Gemini API has a generous free tier (1,500 requests/day). You use your own API key, which means no subscription fees and complete privacy - your data goes directly to Google, not our servers.

How do I download YouTube subtitles in different languages?

Our Subtitle Downloader Chrome extension has built-in language selection. Right-click the extension icon, choose "Language", and select from 70+ options including English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and more. Download in SRT or TXT format instantly.

Which tool should I use for studying YouTube videos?

For studying: use Transcript Generator to get searchable text you can highlight and annotate, Subtitle Downloader to read along offline, and Video Summarizer for quick chapter overviews before diving into full content. All three complement each other for effective learning.

Do these tools work with YouTube Shorts?

Yes! All five tools work with YouTube Shorts. Transcript Generator extracts text, Thumbnail Downloader grabs preview images, Comment Extractor downloads engagement, and the Chrome extensions (Subtitle Downloader & Video Summarizer) work on any video including Shorts.
