00:00:04The secret to good editing isn't the cuts. It's what you don't show the viewer.
00:00:11Most creators pad their timeline. They're terrified of losing attention.
00:00:19Netflix editors do the opposite. They trust silence. They trust the face.

What it does

One click in your toolbar — full transcript.

Open any YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram video, click the extension icon, and the popup hands you the timestamped transcript — ready to copy, download, summarize, or translate. No URLs to paste, no second tab.

01
Zero-paste workflow
Click the toolbar icon on the video page you're already watching. The popup grabs the URL and returns the transcript — no copy-paste, no new tab.
02
Full toolkit in the popup
Copy, SRT, VTT, PDF. Summarize. Translate to 40 languages. Repurpose to a thread — all from the extension popup, no tab switch required.
03
Syncs with your account
Credits, history, and subscriptions sync across the extension and transcriptmagic.com. Install it on every device.
Setup

Install takes fifteen seconds.

Three clicks to Chrome Web Store, one click to pin it, and the Transcript button is live on every YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram video you open.

01
Add to Chrome

Pick YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram above. Chrome Web Store opens in a new tab — confirm the install and you're done.

02
Pin the icon

Click the puzzle piece in your toolbar and pin the extension. Now it lives next to your address bar for one-click access.

03
Open any video

Head to YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. Click the pinned extension icon and the popup pulls the transcript for whatever video you're watching.

Who lives in the extension

Built for the rabbit hole.

Researchers pulling quotes while they watch
Editors auditing B-roll from competitors
Students captioning lectures in real time
Writers drafting from viral Reels
Marketers grabbing hooks mid-scroll
Translators captioning for non-English audiences
Web app vs extension

Same engine. Different tab count.

Every feature on transcriptmagic.com is in the extension. The only difference is the path in — paste a URL, or click a button on the video itself.

Web app

Copy URL → paste → transcribe

  • Good when the link came to you in Slack or email
  • Works on any device, any browser
  • Same checkout, same credits, same history
FAQ

Before you install.

The quick answers. For anything else, email [email protected].

Is the extension free?

Yes. Install costs nothing, and the free tier gives you 10 transcripts a month with no credit card. Paid plans unlock higher volumes and team features — same account as the web app.

Does it work on Edge, Brave, or Arc?

Yes. Any Chromium-based browser works: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, and Vivaldi. Install from the Chrome Web Store and it lands in all of them.

What data does it collect?

Only the URL of the video you click Transcript on — and only when you click. No browsing history, no background tracking, no ads. See the privacy policy for specifics.

Is there a Facebook extension?

Not yet. For Facebook videos, paste the URL into transcriptmagic.com/facebook and you'll get the same transcript, summary, and translation toolkit.

Will this slow down YouTube / TikTok / Instagram?

No. The extension only runs when you click the Transcript button — it doesn't touch the page or your network until then.

Do I need to be signed in?

Not to try it. The free tier works without an account. Sign in when you're ready to sync credits, history, or upgrade to Plus.

Install in fifteen seconds. Transcribe forever.

Free to install, free to try, same toolkit as the web app. Your first transcripts are on us — no signup to start.
