Copy Metadata with One Click
Click on any button to copy that specific metadata to your clipboard:

A toast notification will appear confirming that the content has been copied to your clipboard.

Use the Extracted Data
Once copied, you can paste the metadata into any application or document of your choice for analysis, research, or content creation.
Note: The extension extracts the complete metadata even when it’s truncated or not fully visible in the YouTube Shorts interface. This means you can access the full description and all tags even if YouTube’s interface doesn’t show them completely.
