How to Export YouTube Liked Videos with Google Takeout
Export your YouTube likes privately with Google Takeout. When the in-app Liked videos list stops at 5,000, Takeout plus a local viewer is how you inspect older records—see the 5,000 limit guide and finding old likes. After you have the files, export liked videos to CSV for Excel or Sheets.
1. Choose only what you need
Open Google Takeout, deselect all products, then select My Activity. In its options, keep YouTube and choose JSON for activity records. You may also select YouTube and YouTube Music playlists so `Liked videos.csv` is included.
2. Download every part
Create the export and download every ZIP part. Keep the archives unchanged; the viewer reads relevant entries and ignores unrelated files.
3. Open it locally
Drop the archives into LikesR. Check the source summary and date range before exporting to CSV for Excel or Google Sheets, or searching the archive.
