YouTube Playlist Link Extractor
Extract every video in a YouTube playlist — up to 500 entries, in their original playlist order — with titles, views, likes, comments, and dates. Download as CSV or TXT, or copy all links at once. Free, no account required.
Need every upload from one creator instead of a curated playlist? Try the YouTube Channel Video Links Extractor.
Process
How it works
Enter a playlist URL
Paste any YouTube playlist URL (youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...) or a bare playlist ID. The tool resolves it automatically.
Resolve the playlist
We fetch the playlist's title, owner channel, and total video count so you know exactly what you're extracting.
Retrieve videos in playlist order
We paginate through every playlist item and preserve its original position — the same order viewers see when they play the playlist.
Enrich each video with metadata
Each video is batch-queried for views, likes, comments, duration, and publish date, all in a matter of seconds.
Export or analyze
Download the full collection as CSV or TXT, copy all links at once, or sort and study the playlist directly in the table.
Output schema
What You Get From a YouTube Playlist
Every playlist entry comes back as one row of a table — position, title, URL, and metadata together — here's what that row actually looks like, using YouTube's very first upload as an example.
| Field | Example value | |
|---|---|---|
| A | Playlist Position | 1 |
| B | Video Title | Me at the zoo |
| C | Video URL | youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw |
| D | Thumbnail | 1280×720 .jpg |
| E | Publish Date | 2005-04-23 |
| F | Views | 347,201,558 |
| G | Likes | 9,400,112 |
| H | Comments | 4,882 |
| I | Duration | 0m 19s |
| J | Video ID | jNQXAC9IVRw |
| K | Playlist Name | My Favorites |
Playlist order
Preserve Playlist Order
A playlist isn't just a random group of video URLs — it's an ordered collection. That order is often the point: it can represent a course, a tutorial sequence, a music album, a watch queue, or a curated research list. Extracting the videos without their position would throw away that structure.
Position is extracted, not guessed
Every video comes back with its exact position within the playlist — the same order a viewer sees when pressing play. Sort by position at any time to restore the playlist's original sequence, even after sorting the table by views or date.
Why order matters
Courses and tutorial series depend on watching lessons in sequence. Albums and mixes depend on track order. Research and watch-later lists depend on how they were curated. Preserving position keeps that context intact in your export.
Use cases
What Can You Do With Extracted Playlist Videos?
Our YouTube Playlist Link Extractor isn't just for copying URLs. Once you've extracted a playlist's contents in order, you can put that collection to work in several ways.
Playlist Research
Study the contents of any playlist — see which videos are included, in what order, how popular they are, and when they were published.
Playlist Archiving
Save a complete record of a public playlist's videos, order, and metadata before it's edited, deleted, or made private.
Course & Series Research
Extract the videos from an educational or tutorial playlist to examine lesson order, publish dates, durations, and performance.
Content Analysis
Analyze titles, publish dates, and view counts to discover which videos in a playlist perform best.
Rebuild Playlists
Extract every entry from a playlist and recreate it in your own account, or reorganize the videos into new collections.
Mixed-Channel Collections
Extract curated, collaborative, or research playlists that pull videos together from many different creators.
Mixed-channel playlists
Playlists With Videos From Multiple Channels
This is where a playlist extractor and a channel extractor genuinely diverge. A channel extractor can only ever return one channel's own uploads. A playlist is different: it's a collection curated by its owner, and that collection can freely include videos published by other creators entirely.
Research and watch-later collections
Playlists built to track a topic, industry, or story often pull in videos from dozens of unrelated channels.
Collaborative and community playlists
Shared or community-curated playlists frequently mix contributions from multiple creators around a single theme.
Music and mix playlists
Fan-made music playlists and YouTube Mixes routinely span uploads from many different artists and labels.
If you specifically need every upload from one creator instead of a curated, possibly mixed-channel collection, use the YouTube Channel Video Links Extractor instead.
Analysis
Analyze a YouTube Playlist After Export
Once you've exported the CSV, you can study the playlist's contents in Excel or Google Sheets — find its best performers, restore its original order, or spot patterns across years. A few formulas to start with:
Find the Most-Viewed Videos
Identify the highest-performing videos inside the playlist.
Restore Playlist Order
Re-sort by the position column to see the playlist exactly as viewers watch it.
Find Oldest & Newest Videos
Spot the playlist's earliest and most recently published entries.
Group by Publication Year
See how the playlist's contents are distributed across years.
Search Titles for Topics
Find recurring topics or keywords across the playlist's videos.
Compare Performance
Chart view counts across the playlist to compare video performance side by side.
Input
Supported YouTube Playlist URLs and IDs
The tool accepts any YouTube playlist URL or bare playlist ID — paste any of these and it resolves automatically.

Why Extract the Contents of a YouTube Playlist?
Whether you're archiving a playlist, researching a curated collection, or mapping out a course, pulling every entry out by hand saves hours of manual clicking.
