A TikTok transcript downloader built around three formats
shinmuscat doubles as a TikTok transcript downloader. Once a transcript is ready, open the Download menu next to the transcript panel and choose plain text, SRT or VTT. Each file downloads straight to your device, with every timestamp intact and named after the video's creator so it is easy to find again later.
Plain text (TXT) is for pasting into a document or a note. Guide: How to Download a TikTok Transcript as TXT.
SRT is the subtitle format most video editors expect, including CapCut, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. Guide: TikTok Captions to SRT.
VTT is the format web video players use, including the one built into most browsers and many course platforms.
Every download comes straight from the video's own captions, so the words match what the creator published. That keeps the wording and the timing close to what TikTok itself shows on screen. A video needs existing captions and needs to be public and under 10 minutes: a muted or caption-free video has nothing for the downloader to pull from, so the download button will not produce a file for it.
Downloading does not touch your TikTok account in any way. shinmuscat reads the public page for the video, builds the file in your browser, and saves it straight to your device. There is no upload step, no account to connect, and no copy of the file kept anywhere once it leaves your browser.
All three formats are free and unlimited, with no watermark added to a downloaded file and no cap on how many transcripts you save in a day or how many videos you pull them from.
Where each downloaded format earns its keep
- Subtitling repurposed clips
Download the SRT file and drop it straight into a video editor when you're cutting a TikTok clip into a longer edit or a compilation.
- Building a transcript archive
Save the TXT file for your own videos so you have a plain-text record of every script you've published, searchable without opening a single clip.
- Web embeds
Use the VTT file as the caption track for a TikTok video you've embedded elsewhere on the web, so viewers without sound can still follow along.
- Sharing a written version
Send someone the TXT download instead of the video link when they'd rather read a quick summary than watch the whole thing.
Frequently asked
What file formats can I download a TikTok transcript in?
Three: plain text (TXT) for pasting into a document, SRT for video editors, and VTT for web video players. Each format keeps every timestamp.
How do I download a TikTok transcript as SRT?
Get the transcript, open the Download menu next to the transcript panel, and choose SubRip subtitles. The file saves straight to your device.
Can I use the downloaded transcript as subtitles in CapCut or Premiere?
Yes. Import the SRT file as a caption track in CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve or YouTube Studio. The timestamps line up with the original video.
Is downloading a TikTok transcript free?
Yes, and unlimited. There is no signup, no watermark on the file, and no paid tier for any of the three formats.
