Auto Captions & Subtitles

Transcribe a video with AI and burn in styled captions that are legible with the sound off, which is how most of it will be watched.

Auto captions: add subtitles to any video with AI

Upload a video and get it back with accurate, timed captions burned in. The speech is transcribed by AI and styled the way short-form video is captioned today: word-by-word highlights, bold social styles, karaoke, neon and more.

Paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or X instead of uploading. Choose from 24 caption styles and 11 languages, set size, position and line length, and export as MP4, MOV, WebM or AVI.

How it works

  1. Add the video. Drag in an MP4, MOV, AVI or WebM file, or paste a link.
  2. Pick a style. Choose one of the caption styles from the preview grid, then the font size and where the captions sit.
  3. Fine-tune. Set the spoken language, the maximum characters per line, and whether each word highlights as it is spoken.
  4. Caption it. Click once. Download the captioned video, edit it, or schedule it to your channels.

What you can make

  • Captions for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts
  • Making videos watchable with the sound off
  • Subtitles for interviews, podcasts and talking-head videos
  • Accessible versions of course and training videos

Questions

How accurate are the captions?

The speech is transcribed by AI with word-level timing, so captions appear exactly as the words are spoken. Choosing the spoken language helps with accents and mixed speech.

Which languages are supported?

English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi and Persian.

Can I get word-by-word highlighted captions like on TikTok?

Yes. Turn on Highlight Words, or pick a style such as Karaoke, Word Pop or Highlight.

Are the captions burned into the video?

Yes. The captions are part of the exported video, so they show up on every platform without a separate subtitle file.

Can I caption a video from YouTube or TikTok?

Yes. Paste the link instead of uploading a file.

How much does it cost?

Captions are charged by the minute of audio, and they cost very little. The exact credits appear on the button once your video is loaded.
