Why do some videos say Unknown or removed?

Takeout keeps the watch entry even when the video or channel was deleted later. Those entries have no channel name, so they are grouped as Unknown or removed.

Can I get JSON instead of HTML?

Yes. In Takeout, open the YouTube options, choose Multiple formats and set history to JSON. Both formats work here.

Are my files uploaded?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser tab. Files are read from your disk into memory and the result is generated locally.

Is it free? Are there limits or watermarks?

Free and open source (MIT). There are no file-size caps, daily quotas, accounts or watermarks.

Does it work offline?

Yes, once the page (and any engine it needs) has loaded, it keeps working without a connection thanks to the service worker cache.

YouTube History Stats

See your YouTube watch history from Google Takeout: videos per month, top channels, rewatched videos and your viewing hours, with CSV.

Free, no uploads, no sign-up. Runs 100% in your browser.

How YouTube History Stats works

Your export is read inside this tab. Nothing is uploaded, no account or login is needed, and closing the tab clears it. watch-history.json is read directly, and watch-history.html is read cell by cell for the video link, channel link and date. Ads are left out, and YouTube Music can be included or not.

Input: ZIP, JSON, HTML. Output: CSV.

How to use YouTube History Stats

In Google Takeout pick YouTube and YouTube Music, history only.
Drop watch-history.json, the HTML file or the ZIP.
Read the charts and top channels, and set a date range.
Download the history or the channel list as CSV.

Tips

Exports hold your private messages, places and habits. Here they are read inside the tab and never uploaded.
Most services take from a few minutes to a few days to prepare an export, so ask early.
Keep the original ZIP. These tools never change it.
