Export YouTube Playlist to CSV

A playlist to CSV exporter saves a YouTube playlist as a comma-separated values file: a plain-text table with one row per video. CSV is the most widely supported data format there is, so the file opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers and LibreOffice and imports into Notion, Airtable, databases and almost any script.

You choose the columns, from title, channel and duration to views, likes, publish date, description, tags and the links inside each description. The file is UTF-8 with a byte order mark, so titles in any language display correctly in Excel. Long or multi-line values are quoted properly, so descriptions never spill into the wrong column.

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.
