Every figure was recomputed from the video and comment responses saved from this run. Themes were counted with fixed keyword rules over the full comment texts. YouTube gives comment dates as relative text (24 of the 67 said “4 months ago”), so the export keeps them as shown. Quotes are shortened and shown without usernames.

What it cannot do
Nolyn reads the public comments YouTube returns for a video, top comments first: up to 100 top-level comments per run, with the number of replies under each but not the replies themselves. YouTube shows comment dates as relative text such as “4 months ago”. Videos with comments turned off, members-only comments, held-for-review comments and YouTube Studio data are not available. It reads one video per run.
Questions
How do I download YouTube comments?
YouTube has no download button for comments. Paste the video link into the form above: Nolyn reads up to 100 top-level comments with likes, replies and dates and ends the report with a table and a CSV block you can paste into Google Sheets or Excel.
Is there a free YouTube comment downloader?
Running it needs a free Nolyn account: sign in with Google and you get 100 free credits. The sample run on this page cost 39 credits and took under 3 minutes. This page, the sample and the brief are free to read.
How do I find a specific comment on a YouTube video?
YouTube has no search inside a video’s comments. Enter a word from the comment, a brand or a product as the keyword and Nolyn lists every comment that mentions it, most-liked first. In the sample, “Roborock” matched 3 of 67 comments.
Can I find my own old comments on YouTube?
Your own comment history is in your Google account under My Activity → Comments on YouTube. This tool works the other way round: it reads all the comments on one video and finds the ones that mention a word.
How many comments can it export?
Up to 100 top-level comments per run, with each comment’s reply count. The sample video showed 155 comments; its four comment pages held 67 top-level comments with 82 replies under them.
Is this a YouTube comment scraper?
It reads the public comments of one video you choose, as any viewer can see them, and analyzes up to 100. It does not collect channel or user data across videos, and usernames are not needed for the analysis.
What can a brand do with a video’s comments?
Find the questions to answer and the complaints to fix. In the sample, 23 of 65 viewers asked which robot vacuum to buy and the most-liked comment was a defect report about one of the recommended brands.
What is the difference from the YouTube video analyzer?
The video analyzer compares a video with the channel’s other videos and reads its transcript and top comments. The comment exporter is about the comments themselves: a keyword search, themes and the full list as a table and CSV.
Is there a free YouTube comment downloader?
You can start free: new accounts get 100 one-time credits, no card required. One analysis like this uses about 39 credits, so the free credits cover about 2 runs. Paid plans add monthly credits.
Do I need to sign up?
To run it, yes: sign in with Google. It is free and asks for no card. You can read the example and fill in the form before signing in.
