Accepts a public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook link – or an uploaded clip · returns a clean, timestamped transcript you can read and export.
Works on public social media videos. For Instagram and Facebook, that's public posts and reels only – not Stories or private accounts. Pepys returns text and never redistributes the video; respect each platform's terms of service, and only transcribe content you have the right to use.

How social media video transcript works
Paste a link or upload
Paste a public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook link, or drop in a clip you've saved.
Get the transcript
Pepys pulls the spoken words into clean, timestamped text in seconds, with speaker labels where it can.
Read, copy, or export
Skim the full text, copy any line, read the AI summary, or export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT.
Short-form video is everywhere, but the spoken content is locked in the clip – you can't skim a Reel, search a TikTok, or quote a Facebook video without rewatching it. Paste a public link from any of the big platforms and Pepys gives you the words as a clean, timestamped transcript in seconds, so you can read it, pull a quote, or caption it instead of scrubbing the player.
One hub covers YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, and you can upload a clip you've saved instead of pasting a link. Every transcript ships with an AI summary and works in 99+ languages. Free to try with no signup; your first 60 minutes are free, and credits never expire.
Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.
The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.
um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around

Social media video transcript – questions, answered
How do I transcribe a social media video?
Paste a public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook link on this page, or upload a clip you've saved. Pepys returns a clean, timestamped transcript in seconds – no signup needed to try it.
Which platforms does it work with?
Public videos from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. For Instagram and Facebook, that means public posts and reels – not Stories or private accounts. You can also upload a clip from any platform.
Does this download or save the video?
No. For YouTube, Pepys reads the video's captions/transcript – it never rips or downloads the audio. You get clean text output, never a copy of the clip, and Pepys never redistributes the video.
Can I get subtitles for the clip?
Yes – export the transcript as an SRT or VTT subtitle file with timestamps to load alongside your own video.
Is it free?
You can try it with no signup, and your first 60 minutes are free with a free account – no card required. After that it's pay-as-you-go and credits never expire.
