About Youtube to PDF
π Youtube to PDF β Turn Any Video's Transcript into a Clean, Readable PDF
Youtube to PDF converts the spoken content of online videos into a beautifully formatted PDF you can read, search, print and share. Open a video, pick a language, click once β and the full transcript lands on your computer as a neatly laid-out document with timestamps, the video title, channel name and a clickable link back to the source.
No copy-pasting from cramped transcript panels. No screen-recording lectures just to take notes later. Youtube to PDF does the whole job in one click.
π WHAT IT'S FOR
Youtube to PDF fits any workflow where video needs to become text:
β’ Students β turn recorded lectures, explainers and course videos into printable study notes you can highlight and revise offline
β’ Researchers and journalists β quote talks, interviews and panels accurately, with a timestamp for every claim
β’ Professionals β archive webinars, product demos and training sessions as searchable documents
β’ Language learners β read along in the original language, or export the transcript translated into yours
β’ Accessibility β read content at your own pace instead of chasing captions on screen
π ANY LANGUAGE
Choose the video's original language or pick from 20+ target languages β English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and more. When a video has human-made subtitles, those are used first; otherwise the automatic captions are fetched, and if you ask for a language the video doesn't have, the auto-translated track is used instead. Youtube to PDF picks the best available source automatically, so you always get the most accurate text possible.
β±οΈ TIMESTAMPS THAT NAVIGATE
Every paragraph in your Youtube to PDF export starts with the exact moment it was spoken. Skimming your PDF and want the full context? The timestamp tells you exactly where to jump back into the video. Don't need them? Toggle timestamps off before exporting and get pure, uninterrupted text.

β WHAT IF A VIDEO HAS NO CAPTIONS?
The vast majority of spoken-word videos come with either creator-made subtitles or automatic captions, and Youtube to PDF can use both. If a video truly has neither β some music videos or very fresh uploads β Youtube to PDF tells you clearly instead of producing an empty file, and you can simply try again later once captions appear.
π FREE & PREMIUM
Youtube to PDF includes a number of free exports so you can try everything with no commitment. If you need more, an optional Premium upgrade unlocks unlimited use of Youtube to PDF. You are always clearly informed before any purchase β there are no surprise charges, nothing is billed automatically without your consent, and your remaining free exports stay yours whether or not you ever upgrade.
π PRIVACY
To run the service and protect it from abuse, Youtube to PDF creates a random, anonymous installation ID and sends the link of the video you choose to export to our servers for processing. Our servers temporarily record that installation ID, your IP address and basic usage details such as export counts β this is used for rate-limiting, reliability and abuse prevention. Finished documents are deleted from our servers automatically a short time after you download them.
Youtube to PDF does not collect your browsing history and only acts when you choose to start an export. If you upgrade to Premium, your purchase is handled by our billing provider. Exactly what we store, how long we keep it and who processes it are described in full in our Privacy Policy, which is linked from this listing and from the extension's settings page.
