How to Download Suno Lyrics as LRC or SRT

You can download Suno lyrics as LRC or SRT from a song page in desktop Chrome, because the extension reads Suno's aligned lines and writes the file in the tab. The export is lyrics only: there is no audio rip, and it does not download MP3, WAV, cover images, or video.

Suno Lyric Downloader adds LRC and SRT buttons to the song cover. You stay on https://suno.com/song/{id}. There is no paste box on zhanghe.dev.

What one local export showed

These files were already on this machine, named by the extension, for 立刻，马上 (Do It Now) by Henry Zhang. They were not re-downloaded in the signed-out Chrome tabs on 2026-08-25 or 2026-08-26, because those tabs had no Suno session. This note is one pair of files, not a benchmark. The same bytes are on this site:

  • LRC — recorded source mtime 2026-07-05 23:26, 1878 bytes, 48 [mm:ss.xx] lines
  • SRT — recorded source mtime 2026-07-07 00:23, 2532 bytes, 39 numbered cues

The older LRC keeps section labels. It starts:

[00:00.00](Intro - 轻快的鼓点进场，伴随清爽的吉他扫弦)
[00:00.42][Verse 1]
[00:00.77]两千五百次 敲击的日夜

The matching SRT drops those labels. The first cue is the sung line only:

1
00:00:00,772 --> 00:00:03,431
两千五百次 敲击的日夜

Both files end on the same sung line. The LRC row is [02:37.50]向前。 and SRT cue 39 is 00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:40,770 with that same line. A parser on 2026-08-25 counted 48 LRC rows and 39 SRT cues.

A later local LRC from 2026-07-07 00:27 has 39 lines and no [Verse] or [Chorus] rows. It starts at [00:00.77] with the same first sung line. Source notes from 2026-08-25 say prepareLyricDownloadLines() strips recognized Suno section tags before write, and that later file matches the strip. The public 48-line LRC is the older tagged export. The 39-cue SRT matches the stripped line count. The product page shows this track's first sung line, [00:00.77]两千五百次 敲击的日夜, not a made-up sample.

When the buttons appear

Source inspection of the content script on 2026-08-25: processPage() does not draw LRC or SRT unless all of these pass.

  1. The path is /song/{id}.
  2. The cover image img[alt="Song Cover Image"] is in the DOM.
  3. The __session cookie is present, which means this Chrome profile is signed in to Suno.
  4. The lyric fetch returns data.
  5. lyrics.type is aligned. Plain text lyrics are skipped so the file does not invent timestamps.

If any check fails, the page looks like ordinary Suno. That is the expected miss, not proof the install is broken.

Signed-out checks of this same song showed that miss. On 2026-08-26, Chrome 151.0.0.0 opened /song/0897ba68-3eb5-44e4-8ae0-66702cce48a7. The cover was present, and the public lyrics included the first sung line from the sample files. __session was absent, Log in was visible, and the LRC/SRT overlay count was 0. The player on that page showed 3:14. The last lyric cue still ends at 00:02:40,770. This note does not treat the lyric file as a full-track transcript. A headed Playwright Chrome for Testing 151 run loaded the unpacked local extension and still drew no buttons, because there was still no Suno session. Notes: signed-out-do-it-now-2026-08-26.md. This guide does not include a signed-in cover screenshot.

Download LRC or SRT from the song page

The lyric file is built in the browser from aligned lines Suno already returned. It is not uploaded to zhanghe.dev, and it is not an audio rip.

  1. Install Suno Lyric Downloader from the Chrome Web Store in desktop Chrome. The product page supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS. It is not an Android app, and Chrome on Android cannot run this extension.
  2. Sign in at suno.com in that same Chrome profile so the __session cookie is present.
  3. Open a song detail URL, https://suno.com/song/{id}. Home, create, and playlist views do not get buttons.
  4. Wait for the cover, then click LRC for players and karaoke, or SRT for captions.

The product page does not offer a direct VTT export. Download SRT, then convert to WebVTT in a caption tool if you need that format. The extension does not write the VTT or ITT files that sit next to the sample pair. Those were built from the SRT on 2026-08-26.

The product page also says the current LRC and SRT downloads stay free, and that the extension is not affiliated with or endorsed by Suno, Inc.

Lyrics only

Suno Lyric Downloader exports synchronized lyric and caption files. It does not download song audio, MP3, WAV, cover images, or video. If you need the audio or the video, use Suno's own export. This extension does not accept an audio upload, and it does not transcribe speech into timestamps.

  • Page. Buttons belong on a song detail URL after the cover loads.
  • Session. No __session cookie means no buttons, even when public lyrics are visible.
  • Timing. Plain text lyrics are skipped. The extension does not invent timestamps.
  • Formats. LRC and SRT from the cover buttons. No direct VTT, and no audio file.
  • Device. Desktop Chrome on Windows, macOS, Linux, or ChromeOS. Not an Android app.

Trim a local video separately

Video Clipper trims a video you already have, in the browser, without uploading that file. It does not download Suno audio, and it does not burn these lyrics into the video. Use it when the job is a local cut. The lyric file from Suno stays LRC or SRT.

Export the lyrics on the song page

To download timestamped Suno lyrics as LRC or SRT, open Suno Lyric Downloader, sign in on the song page, and click the format on the cover. To trim a video that is already on your machine, use Video Clipper.
