Is the ViralDNA extension free?
Yes. Installing it is free, and the YouTube tools work without an account: copy a video's transcript with or without timestamps, download its thumbnail in full resolution, see and copy every tag, and check monetization, paid promotion and outlier signals. Signing in connects it to your ViralDNA account; the AI analysis in the popup and channel RPM estimates are part of Pro.
Can it tell me if a YouTube channel is monetized?
Yes. The channel pill shows whether the channel is monetized, videos with ads and paid promotions are flagged, and videos that beat their channel's average get an outlier badge. Pro adds a channel RPM and earnings range; those numbers are estimates from our model, not figures from YouTube.
How do I copy the tags or the transcript of a YouTube video?
Open the video with the extension installed. The ViralDNA tools appear on the page: copy the transcript with or without timestamps, copy all tags in one click, or download the thumbnail. No sign-in is needed.
Is it safe? What permissions does it use?
It asks for two permissions: storage for your settings and downloads for saving thumbnails. It runs on YouTube pages only. Apart from YouTube it connects to viraldna.io and our sign-in service (Supabase) for your account, to Pixabay for images in the community post tool, and to a currency rate service so earnings can be shown in your currency. The extension's privacy policy has the details.
Which browsers does it work in?
It is built and tested for desktop Chrome. There is no Firefox version, and it does not run on phones.
Is it affiliated with YouTube?
No. ViralDNA - YouTube Competitor Tools is an independent extension by viraldna.io, used by 1,000+ people on the Chrome Web Store. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC.
