Export YouTube Playlist to HTML

Paste a playlist link to download a single web page listing every video in a table, with clickable links and thumbnail images.

What is a playlist to HTML exporter?

A playlist to HTML exporter creates a single, self-contained web page that lists every video in a YouTube playlist in a table, with clickable links and, if you like, each video's thumbnail and full description.

The page has its styles built in, so you can double-click it to open in any browser, attach it to an email, upload it to any static host or print it to PDF. It follows the reader's light or dark mode. Teachers use it as a class handout, curators to publish a reading list without a website builder, and anyone who wants a nicer printout of a playlist than YouTube's own page.

Example: a printable course handout

Exporting a 12-video course with Thumbnail, Title and Duration ticked:

Heading
the playlist name, linked to YouTube
Summary line
channel · 12 videos · exported date
Table
12 rows: thumbnail, linked title, duration
To PDF
open the file, press Ctrl+P and choose Save as PDF

Everything except the thumbnails works offline, since thumbnails load from YouTube's image servers.

A shareable page for any playlist

The page is a single self-contained file: the styles are built in and nothing else needs to be downloaded, apart from the thumbnails, which load from YouTube. It has the playlist name linked to YouTube, a summary line and a table with one row per video.

Links are clickable, thumbnails show as images, descriptions keep their line breaks, and the page follows your system's light or dark mode. Use your browser's Print to save it as a PDF.

Frequently asked questions

How do I turn the page into a PDF?

Open the file in your browser, press Ctrl+P (Cmd+P on a Mac) and choose Save as PDF.

Can I put it on my website?

Yes. Upload the .html file anywhere that serves static files, such as GitHub Pages or Netlify, or copy the table into your own page.

Do thumbnails work offline?

No. Thumbnails load from YouTube's image servers, so they need a connection. Everything else on the page works offline.

Can I change how the page looks?

Yes. The styles sit in a single style block at the top of the file, so colours, fonts and column widths can be edited in any text editor.
