What is SubGrab?
SubGrab is a video transcript extractor that pulls text transcripts from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, TikTok, Vimeo, Loom, LinkedIn, Dailymotion, Twitch, Wistia, Brightcove, Reddit, Rumble, and Bilibili videos. Every new account gets 2 free credits. For videos with existing captions, SubGrab extracts them instantly. For videos without captions, our AI transcribes the audio with 98%+ accuracy.
The AI transcription engine achieves 98%+ accuracy across 90+ languages. Transcripts can be downloaded in three formats: plain text (TXT), SubRip subtitle format (SRT), and WebVTT format (VTT). All transcripts include timestamps for easy navigation.
Unlike YouTube’s built-in transcript viewer, SubGrab allows users to download the full transcript as a file, supports Vimeo (which has no native transcript viewer), and can transcribe any video that lacks captions entirely. SubGrab also generates AI-powered summaries with key points and chapter markers.
Whether you’re a student taking notes from lecture recordings, a content creator repurposing video into blog posts, a journalist fact-checking interview footage, or a marketer extracting quotes from webinars — SubGrab gives you accurate, downloadable transcripts in seconds. No software to install, no browser extension required. Just paste a URL and get your transcript.
