Is the video script extractor free?

Yes. Your first video is free without an account, and a free account includes three complete analyses that never expire. Scripts download as TXT, Markdown, SRT and VTT on every plan. Pro is $9.90 a month or $79 a year, with no daily cap, batch import and rewrites.

Which sites can I extract a video script from?

TikTok, Instagram Reels and video posts, YouTube videos and Shorts, X (Twitter), Pinterest, shared Google Drive files, Meta Ad Library and TikTok Ad Library links, and direct links to a video file such as an .mp4. The video has to be public.

What’s the difference between a video transcript and a video script?

A transcript is the words that were spoken, in order. A script is those words organized into parts that each do a job: the hook, the setup, the steps or proof, the close. AnyScript gives you both: the timestamped transcript and the script cut into labeled beats.

Can I upload a video file instead of a link?

No. AnyScript works from links only. For a video on your computer, upload it to Google Drive, share it by link and paste that link, or paste a direct link to the file if it is already hosted online.

How long can the video be?

Up to 10 minutes without an account or on a free account, and up to 30 minutes on Pro. For a longer video on the free plans you get the transcript of the first 10 minutes, without the analysis.

Can I extract a script from a video in another language?

Yes. The spoken language is detected automatically and the script stays in that language. You can translate the transcript and the analysis into 180+ languages with the timestamps kept.

Can I turn a video into a script for my own product?

On Pro, yes. Pick what to keep from the video, the hook, the angle, the format or the structure, and AnyScript drafts a new script for your product, platform and length. It borrows the structure, not the lines.

Can I extract scripts from many videos at once?

On Pro, paste up to 50 links in one run, or import a TikTok or Instagram profile, a Pinterest board, a Google Drive folder or an ad library search. Put them in a Research set to see which hooks and structures repeat. Free accounts run one link at a time.

Does AnyScript download the video?

No. It reads the public video to extract the script and the analysis, and does not give you the video file. AnyScript is independent and not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or any other platform.

How it works

1Copy the video’s link
Copy the share link of a public video from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube (Shorts too), X or Pinterest, a shared Google Drive file, a TikTok or Meta Ad Library ad, or a direct link to a video file such as an .mp4. Paste it above.

2Get the script in beats
In about a minute you get every spoken line with its timestamp, captions or not, then the script cut into labeled beats with their time ranges, each beat linked to the lines it covers.
3Analyze it, then rewrite it
Read why the hook holds and where the proof sits, ask the video a question, or keep its structure and draft a script for your own product. Export TXT, Markdown, SRT or VTT on every plan.

Extract the script from a video, then see how it’s built.

The transcript comes first, with or without captions. Then AnyScript cuts it into beats, names the hook, angle, proof and CTA, and pins each one to the line that carries it.

The script, cut into labeled beats

The structure map splits the script into beats, such as hook, problem, solution, proof and CTA, each with its time range. The breakdown also names the hook type, angle, proof, offer, audience and funnel stage.

The words first, captions or not

Every script starts from the transcript. AnyScript uses the video’s captions when they exist and transcribes the audio when they don’t, detects the spoken language and keeps a timestamp on every line.

What is a video script extractor?

A video script extractor takes a video and gives you back its script: the spoken words as text, organized the way a script is written, in parts that each do a job. A transcript stops at the words. A script extractor also shows where the hook ends, where the setup, steps or proof sit, how the video closes, and how long each part runs.

AnyScript extracts the script from a public link to a TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Pinterest, Google Drive or Meta Ad Library video, or from a direct video file link. It uses existing captions when there are any and transcribes the audio when there are not, cuts the script into labeled beats, and cites the line behind every finding, so you can reuse the structure without copying the words.

Video script extractor vs. a transcript and a blank doc

The usual way to get a script out of a video: copy a transcript, paste it into a doc, then mark the hook and the sections by hand.

Getting the words: Transcript + docCopy a platform’s transcript where there is one, or type it out.; AnyScriptPaste the link; captions or speech recognition, ready in about a minute.
