How do you export a YouTube playlist? Paste the playlist link into the YouTube playlist exporter above and download the result as CSV, Excel, text or JSON. Every row has the video title, link, video ID, views, duration and publish date, so the file opens straight in Excel or Google Sheets. It works online with no software, and you can connect YouTube to export your private playlists and Liked videos.
Managing YouTube playlists can be overwhelming—especially when they grow too large. Whether you're an educator, researcher, content creator, or developer, manually copying video details is frustrating and time-consuming.
