Click to download
Click the "Subtitles" button on any video. You can download subtitle files in SRT format — a widely supported format compatible with most video players and editors.
4
Bulk download as ZIP
Plus subscribers can download subtitles for an entire page of results at once using the "Download Subtitles" button in the toolbar. All files are packaged into a single ZIP archive.
All downloaded subtitles are saved to your account. You can find them anytime in your Profile → Subtitles tab, where you can re-download individual files or get everything as a single ZIP.
Subtitles are available in many languages. Auto-generated captions (marked "auto") are often available even when manual subtitles aren't.
