How to export a YouTube playlist to CSV

Download
Press Download to get a .csv file, or tick more formats to get them together in a ZIP.
How the CSV file is laid out
The first row holds the column names and every video after it gets one row, in playlist order. Values with commas, quotes or line breaks are wrapped in quotes, with inner quotes doubled, so any CSV reader splits them correctly, including multi-line descriptions.
The file is UTF-8 with a byte order mark, which is what makes Excel show titles in Hindi, Japanese, Arabic or emoji correctly instead of garbled characters. Lists such as tags and description links are joined with commas inside a single cell.
Frequently asked questions
How do I open the CSV in Google Sheets?
In Google Sheets choose File, Import, Upload and pick the file. Or skip the file: press Copy for Sheets on this page and paste into cell A1.
Why do titles look garbled in Excel?
They shouldn't: the file starts with a byte order mark so Excel reads it as UTF-8. If an older Excel still garbles them, use Data, From Text/CSV and choose UTF-8, or download the Excel (.xlsx) file instead.
Can I import the CSV into Notion or Airtable?
Yes. In Notion use Import, then CSV, to get a database with one row per video. Airtable's CSV import works the same way.
Is there a limit on playlist length?
No. Playlists with thousands of videos are read in full, page by page, and you can export only a range with the From and To video numbers.
