YouTube transcript with timestamps
See each cue's time on screen. Keep the times in SRT, VTT, or JSON. Copy still strips them.
This page opens in Timestamps view. Click a cue to jump in the player. If you need the times in a file, download SRT, VTT, or JSON — not TXT, and not Copy.
Where the times actually live
- On screen. MM:SS beside each cue. That's a view, not a file.
- Copy. Always strips times. Even in this view.
- TXT. Untimed. There is no timestamped-TXT button.
- SRT / VTT / JSON. Always keep timing. That's what those files are for.
What people use the times for
- Jump. Find the moment without scrubbing.
- Cite. Keep SRT, VTT, or JSON so the clock survives the paste.
- Edit. Drop SRT or VTT on a timeline.
