MediaLink subtitle downloader
When a public media URL exposes caption tracks, MediaLink lists them so you can download subtitles on their own or keep them with your selected video format.
Subtitle options appear only when the source exposes caption tracks for that URL. MediaLink does not invent captions.
Highlights
Embed or subtitles-only
Keep captions with the video download or grab subtitle files alone when you only need the text track.
Paired with media analysis
See title, duration, and formats next to subtitle options so you are not guessing what you are saving.
How it works

What this tool does
When a public media URL exposes subtitle or caption tracks, MediaLink lists languages so you can save captions alone or keep them with a selected video format.
How to use it
Paste the URL below. After analysis, open subtitle controls on the result card, choose a language and embed vs subtitles-only mode, then queue the job.
Supported input
Public media URLs that include provider-exposed caption tracks (manual or auto-generated when present). Links without captions will not show subtitle options.
Output behavior
Depending on mode, you get subtitle files alone or a video download with embedded captions—always based on tracks the source actually provides.
Common problems
No subtitle UI usually means the provider exposed none for that URL. Try another public link or confirm captions exist on the source page.
Limitations
MediaLink does not automatically generate new captions where none exist. YouTube-specific subtitle intent belongs on the dedicated YouTube subtitles landing.

Are auto-generated captions supported?+
If the provider exposes auto-generated tracks, MediaLink can surface them alongside manual captions for that media URL.
What if no subtitles appear?+
