Download subtitles for a whole playlist

The Playlist Downloader loads every video in a YouTube playlist from a single link and fetches their subtitles in one go. Choose one language and a format such as SRT, TXT, Word or PDF, then save all the files as one ZIP. It also reads Viki, Viu, WeTV and iQIYI series pages and Vimeo showcases, groups and channels.

How to download a playlist's subtitles

  1. 1

    Paste the playlist link

    Use the playlist address, or a video link that still carries its list parameter. DownSub loads the videos with their titles and thumbnails.

  2. 2

    Pick the language and format

    Choose one subtitle language for the whole playlist and a format: SRT, VTT, TXT, Word, PDF and more. Videos without that language are flagged in the list.

  3. 3

    Download everything as a ZIP

    Save all subtitles in one ZIP file, or download single episodes. Pro loads 50 videos at a time; use Next to continue through longer playlists.

Made for courses and series

One link for the whole list

No need to collect video links one by one. The playlist link is enough, whether it is a lecture series, a channel playlist or a season of a show.

Episodes in order

On Viki, Viu, WeTV and Vimeo you can flip the sort order, so episodes load first-to-last or last-to-first.

Consistent language and format

Every file in the ZIP uses the language and format you picked and is named after its video, which keeps a course folder tidy.

Long playlists, page by page

With Pro, playlists load in pages of 50 videos. Download a page, then move on with Next until you reach the end.

Playlist subtitle download FAQ

Which YouTube links work?

A playlist page link (youtube.com/playlist?list=…) or a watch link that includes the list parameter (watch?v=…&list=…). A video link without a list isn't a playlist, so use the Subtitle Downloader for it.

How many videos can I download from a playlist?

Without Pro, the first 3 videos. With Pro the whole playlist, loaded 50 videos at a time with a Next button between pages.

Does it cost credits?

No. Downloading existing subtitle tracks never uses credits. Pro ($5 a month) unlocks the full playlist.

What if some videos have no subtitles in my language?

They are flagged in the list and left out of the ZIP, and the rest of the playlist still downloads.

Should I use this or the Multi Downloader?

If the videos are already in one playlist, this tool is faster because the playlist link is all you need. For videos from different channels or sites, paste their links into the Multi Downloader.
