Downsub Subtitle Transcri
✨ AI-Powered View on Chrome Web StoreChrome will indicate if you already have this installed.
Overview
Download YouTube, Viki, iQIYI & Netflix subtitles in one click — SRT, VTT, or TXT — translate them to 100+ languages, and show the translation right on the video.
DownSub adds a clean "Download" button right where you need it: next to YouTube's share/save bar, inside the Viki / Netflix player control bar, or in the iQIYI action row. No URL copy-paste, no third-party sites.

PRO FEATURES (with DownSub account)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Auto-download every video you open — pick your preferred subtitle language once in Settings, then never click again. The file lands in Downloads while you watch.
• AI Summary — bullet points with timestamps in your preferred language. Pick a style: timeline, key points, action items, technical, educational, movie/novel (with optional spoiler-free mode). Works on YouTube, Viki, iQIYI, and Netflix.
• Translate subtitles (Viki / iQIYI / Netflix) — pick any target language, then choose your engine: on-device translation (free, no credits, powered by Chrome's built-in translator) or DownSub AI for higher quality. These sites have no native auto-translate like YouTube.
• Show subtitles on the video — overlay the chosen track (original or translated) directly on the Viki / iQIYI / Netflix player; translate once and keep watching (the result is reused, so re-showing never re-charges)
• Comments analysis (YouTube) — sentiment breakdown, top topics with quotes, and highlighted top comments
• Coming soon: audio → subtitle, playlist batch download
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHO IT'S FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Language learners watching K-dramas, C-dramas, and Asian shows on Viki, iQIYI, or Netflix — translate the subtitle and show it (or both languages) right on the player
• Language learners who want bilingual captions or translated transcripts on YouTube
• Students & researchers turning lectures into searchable notes
• Content creators repurposing YouTube content into blogs / scripts
• Anyone who hates wading through 30-minute videos for 2 minutes of insight

PRIVACY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DownSub only requests access to youtube.com, viki.com (+ api.viki.io), iq.com (+ iqiyi.com), netflix.com (+ nflxvideo.net for subtitle files), and downsub.com — no <all_urls>, no tracking, no ads. Your subtitles are downloaded straight from YouTube / Viki / iQIYI / Netflix to your machine, and on-device translation runs entirely in your browser (no credits, no upload). AI summary and AI translation run on DownSub's own servers; nothing is shared with third parties.
DownSub is a first-party extension from the team behind downsub.com.
