Use tool ↗About PixScript
PixScript takes a link from YouTube (including Shorts), TikTok or Instagram Reels, or an uploaded audio or video file, and returns a timestamped transcript with subtitle files and an AI summary or rewrite into a blog or social post. Exports and limits scale by plan: plain text on the free tier, SRT and VTT plus translation into 10 languages on Pro, and JSON with 50+ languages on Business, which also handles videos up to two hours. Bulk runs of 20 or 50 URLs, HD video download and a YouTube Chrome extension round it out. The free plan covers 30 minutes a month for clips up to 5 minutes; the operator is not named on the site.

Pros & cons of PixScript
PixScript covers the three platforms creators actually post to, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, rather than requiring a file upload workflow, and the dedicated YouTube extension shortens that further. The free tier's 5-minute clip limit will push anyone transcribing full-length videos toward the paid plan quickly.
Pros
- Accepts direct links from YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, not just file uploads
- Chrome extension speeds up transcription from YouTube specifically
- Subtitle export in SRT and VTT on the Pro tier
- Translation into 50+ languages and 2-hour videos on Business at $19 a month
Cons
- Free tier is capped at 5-minute clips and 30 minutes a month
- Even Pro stops at 30-minute videos; full podcasts need Business
- No company name or location disclosed
Best for
- Content creators who need quick transcripts from social video links
- Podcasters and students who want timestamped, searchable transcripts
- Users who want subtitle files, not just plain text
Not for
- Users needing to transcribe videos longer than 5 minutes on the free plan
- Anyone who needs a named company behind the service for contracts or data agreements
Watch out: The 7-day trial starts a paid subscription unless cancelled, and the pricing page no longer shows the free plan the home page still describes.
