One Tool for Every Platform: Extract Transcripts from YouTube, Facebook, TikTok & More
SubGrab extracts video transcripts from every supported platform — YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, Vimeo, Loom, LinkedIn, and more — with AI for captionless videos.
Most video transcript tools only work with YouTube. SubGrab works with 30 platforms — and for videos without captions, AI fills the gap.
