About YouTube Comment Downloader

Paste a YouTube video link to download its comments with author, text, likes, reply count, and post date. Pull up to 20,000 comments with their replies, search and filter them, see who comments most and when, then export the list to Excel, CSV, JSON, TXT, or HTML.

YouTube Comments Downloader for Any Video or Short

Paste the link from the Share button, the address bar, or a Shorts page and the tool finds the video, shows its views, likes, and comment count, and starts pulling comments in batches of 100. A progress bar shows how many are in, and Stop keeps everything fetched so far.

Pick Top comments to follow YouTube's ranking or Newest first to start with the latest ones, and choose how many to download, from 100 up to 20,000.

Export YouTube Comments to CSV and Excel

The Excel export is a real .xlsx workbook with a bold, frozen header row and filters already switched on. The CSV export opens cleanly in Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers, and cells that start with =, +, -, or @ are prefixed so they can't run as formulas.

Both files share the same columns, so you can sort by likes, filter by author, or pivot by date without cleaning anything first.

  • Comment ID and parent ID
  • Author name and channel link
  • Comment text
  • Likes and reply count
  • Published and edited dates (UTC)
  • Direct link to the comment on YouTube

Download YouTube Comments with Replies

Replies come in under their parent comment, marked as replies and linked by parent ID. YouTube only sends the first few replies with each comment, so turn on Include every reply when you need whole conversations; complete threads are fetched for the 300 most-replied comments.

In the comment list, open any thread to read its replies in order, or switch the view to Replies only to see just the responses.

YouTube Comment Exporter for Research and Giveaways

Before you export, the tool sums up the comments: totals, unique commenters, the most liked comments, the people who comment most, a chart of comments over time, and the words that come up most often. Tap a word to see every comment that uses it.

For a giveaway, export Everything to a spreadsheet and draw from the author column. For research or sentiment work, the JSON export keeps replies nested under their parent comment.

YouTube Comment Scraper Without Code

Comment scrapers usually mean a Python script, an API key, or a browser extension that scrolls the page for you. This tool reads the same public comments through YouTube's official Data API, so you get complete fields and exact dates without installing anything.

Need the channel's profile picture for a report or thumbnail as well? The YouTube PFP Downloader grabs it in full size.
