Spotify to YouTube Playlist without Login
Shortcuts is a pre-installed automation app on iOS devices running iOS 12 or later. Instead of manually searching for videos on YouTube, I created a Spotify to YouTube playlist shortcut to automate this process.
It will get all the tracks in the Spotify playlist that you provide and search them on YouTube one by one. After that, it will create an unlisted YouTube playlist for you to watch or add to your YouTube library. You can refer to the steps below to see how it works.
Step 1. Get the Spotify to YouTube playlist shortcut (optimized for iOS 17) on your iPhone or iPad. If your Mac is running macOS Monterey or later, it should also work on your Mac.
Step 2. Copy the Spotify playlist URL and run this shortcut. You can also run it from Spotify Share Sheet.
Step 3. Input the number of songs in the playlist when prompted. The number does not have to be accurate.
Step 4. Once done, it will open a Safari web page with all the matched YouTube videos in the playlist.
Throughout the whole process, you don’t need to log in to YouTube or Spotify. If you want to add the playlist to your library, you can log in to YouTube from Safari to do it. Since it does not require you to log in, it will not work for private Spotify playlists. For transferring private Spotify playlists, you can use other methods.

SongShift is another tool that allows you to convert a Spotify playlist to a YouTube playlist for free. You can connect other music streaming services like Apple Music, Deezer, etc. But you can connect only two at a time for the free version.

Transfer Spotify Playlist To YouTube with Google Sheet
I have create a Google Sheet powered with Google Apps Script to export Spotify playlist and add to your YouTube Library. If you don’t trust other services with your account info, you should try this method. You just need to create a copy of my sheet and start transferring your Spotify playlist.
Step 1. Make a copy of my Spotify to YouTube Google Sheet. Delete my existing data in your copy sheet.
Step 2. Paste your Spotify playlist URL in the cell (A2).
Step 3. Click on the Custom Menu and select “Get Playlist Tracks”. It will load all the tracks in your Spotify playlist.
