About YouTube Comments Downloader
YouTube Comments Downloader exports public comments without needing API setup. You paste a URL for a video, Short, community post, playlist or channel, and it saves the comments with their thread structure, timestamps, likes, replies and permalinks. Completed live streams can have their chat replay exported with timestamps when it is available. Output formats are CSV, Excel XLSX, JSON, HTML and TXT, and the HTML export is designed to look like YouTube for screenshots and presentations.
Comments can be searched before exporting, by keyword, author, likes, replies or metadata, with typo-tolerant search for mentions, hashtags, emojis and timestamps. Bulk downloads cover a whole channel or playlist, and extras include n8n automations, API access, an AI comments analyzer, channel details and community post images. The site aims at creators, marketers and analysts and says the files can be uploaded to AI tools for analysis. Free credits are included, with paid plans on a pricing page.
