An SRT (SubRip Subtitle) file contains the video's spoken words paired with start and end timestamps for each line. Unlike copying from YouTube's transcript panel, a downloaded SRT file works natively in video editors, media players, and AI tools — no reformatting needed. Paste the YouTube URL into Voxtly and get a clean .srt download in under 5 seconds.
WebVTT (.vtt) is the subtitle format built for the web. If you're embedding video on your site and want synchronized captions inside an HTML5 <video> element — without relying on YouTube's player — you need a VTT file. Voxtly exports spec-compliant VTT files from any YouTube video with one click.

After generating a subtitle, use the language selector to choose from 125+ supported languages — Spanish, French, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and more.

Yes. Voxtly extracts subtitles from YouTube Shorts, regular long-form videos, and recorded live streams. Paste the full Shorts URL (youtube.com/shorts/...) exactly as you'd paste any other video — the tool handles it automatically.
