About this extension
Move, copy or back up a YouTube playlist and know exactly what crossed over.
Export a playlist to CSV or JSON, import it into another account, and get a
per-video report — never a green "Import complete" over a silent failure.
WHAT YOU GET
- It appears when you need it: a small PlaylistGrab button on every playlist
page (Export + Import) and on your playlists overview (Import as a new list).
One click opens the panel with exactly that playlist as the target — no
guessing which tab it will work on.
- Export the open playlist to CSV and JSON: position, videoId, title, channel,
duration, URL, and availability (available / unavailable / private / deleted).
- Excel-safe CSV: UTF-8, quoted fields, formula-injection guarded.
- Reads long playlists fully — it scrolls until the count stops growing and tells
you honestly if it had to stop early, never a silent truncation.
- Import & transfer between accounts with a per-video result report (added /
skipped / failed), so you can see what landed and what did not.
- Rate-limit aware: if YouTube throttles a bulk add, the run waits and resumes
where it stopped instead of dying half-finished.
- Keep a plain-file backup of any playlist — a CSV you own, not an archive request.
WHY PlaylistGrab
Export is a commodity. Knowing what actually landed on import is not. PlaylistGrab
counts every video and shows its work.
FREE
1 export + 1 import per install, up to 50 videos.
PRO — ~€9 one-time or €3/month
Unlimited videos and playlists; the full import round-trip with the completeness
report.
HOW TO USE
1. Open a YouTube playlist — the PlaylistGrab button appears top right, just
below YouTube's menu bar.
2. Click Export (or the toolbar icon) — the panel opens in the browser's sidebar,
next to the playlist it is working on, and stays open while a transfer runs.
3. Export CSV or JSON. Files download straight to your computer.
4. To move a playlist: open the target account, click Import on the target
playlist (or on your playlists overview for a new list), load the file, and
read the per-video report when it finishes.
Perfect for: creators handing over a channel, agencies taking over a client
account, anyone leaving a Google account or splitting a private and work account.
It never asks for your Google password and never reads your cookies — it works
inside your own already-logged-in YouTube tab. It does not migrate subscriptions,
history, or YouTube Music-specific data.
