How to add captions to a video

Four steps, and only the first one needs you to wait.

  1. 01

    Upload your video

    MP4, MOV or WebM up to 2 GB and 15 minutes. The cost is shown before anything is charged.

  2. 02

    AI writes the captions

    Every word is transcribed with its own timing, and the words that carry the message are picked out for color.

  3. 03

    Pick a style and fix anything

    Choose one of the caption styles, size and position, edit any word in the transcript, and cut fillers or silences.

  4. 04

    Export the MP4

    Captions are burned into a clean MP4 for TikTok, Reels, Shorts or LinkedIn. Exports are free, with no watermark.

Fix a word, and the captions follow.

Captions are built from the transcript, so editing one edits the other. No keyframes, no re-timing.

  1. Edit the transcript, not a timeline

    Click a word to fix it. Delete a word and it's cut from the video and the captions together.

  2. Cut fillers and silences

    Remove the ums and the dead air in one pass, so short videos move faster.

  3. Size, position and frame

    Move captions up or down, scale them, and export 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 or the original frame.

  4. Preview is the export

    The preview uses the same fonts, line breaks and timing as the render, so there are no surprises after export.

Priced by the minute. Exports are free.

3 credits per minute of video, minimum 10, charged once when transcription starts. Change the style and export again as often as you like. Failed jobs are refunded.
