Add subtitles to a video

Subtitles that play everywhere, because they are part of the picture: Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and any player that ignores subtitle files. Upload a video, get it back with the words on screen.

FAQ

Do I need a subtitle file?

No. The speech is recognised for you. If you already have an SRT and only want to convert or retime it, use the subtitle converter instead.

Can I edit the text before it is burned in?

Not yet. Transcribe the video first, correct the SRT, and tell us if you need burning from your own file — it is on the list.

What do the subtitles look like?

White text in a semi-transparent box at the bottom, sized to stay readable on a phone and lifted clear of player controls.

Can the subtitles be removed later?

No. Burned-in subtitles are pixels. Keep your original file if you might need a clean version.

How long does it take?

Recognition takes about as long as the recording, then re-encoding adds a fraction of that. A 5-minute clip lands in roughly 6–8 minutes.

Is there a limit?

One video a day without an account, up to 10 minutes. Premium raises it to 45 minutes with no daily limit.
