TikTok transcript FAQ.

How do I get a transcript of a TikTok video?

In TikTok, tap Share, then Copy link. Paste it into the box above and press the arrow — the text shows up in a few seconds.

Can I transcribe a TikTok without captions?

Yes. We transcribe the audio itself, so the video doesn't need auto-captions turned on.

Does it work with private TikTok accounts?

No. Only public videos work, and only ones you own or are authorized to process. Private or friends-only videos can't be fetched, and you won't be charged.

Can I download TikTok subtitles as SRT?

Yes. Download the transcript as SRT or VTT with timestamps, or as plain TXT.

Is there a free TikTok transcript generator?

This is one. You get 3 free transcripts a day without signing up or adding a card.

Do short links like vm.tiktok.com work?

Yes. Both full links (tiktok.com/@user/video/…) and the short links from the share menu work.

How long can the TikTok be?

A video up to 3 minutes uses 1 transcript. Longer videos use 1 more for every extra 3 minutes.

Which languages are supported?

We detect the spoken language automatically — English, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian and dozens more. The transcript comes back in the language that was spoken.

Do you store the video?

No. We process the audio to make the transcript and never store the original video.

Is TranscriptClip affiliated with TikTok?

No. TranscriptClip is an independent tool and is not affiliated with TikTok or ByteDance.
