What this is
A free Instagram transcript tool. Upload a video you already have and get a text version with timestamps you can copy or download as TXT, SRT or VTT — useful for captions, subtitles, notes and research. It can also provide an instagram video transcript or an instagram story transcript when you have the file.
Why it stays private
The video is decoded and transcribed inside your own browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, and nothing is stored. Close the tab and it is gone.
FAQ
Do I need an account? No. There is no sign-up and no login.
Is there a limit? No daily quota and no watermark. Your only practical limit is your device's memory and speed.
Can I paste an Instagram link? No — this tool only works on a file you upload yourself. It never fetches anything from Instagram.
