How to generate subtitles for a video

1

Add your video

Paste a public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X or Facebook link, or upload the video file itself — up to 200 MB, any format your browser plays.

2

AI builds the subtitle track

Speech recognition transcribes the audio with sentence-level timestamps — the raw material of a real subtitle file, not just a wall of text.

3

Export SRT or VTT

Download the subtitles as SRT for CapCut, Premiere and YouTube, or VTT for web players. TXT is there too if you just want the words.

Subtitles that actually import cleanly

No sign-up needed

Paste a link and read the full transcript. No account, no email, no credit card.

Results in seconds

Whisper-class AI speech recognition turns a one-minute video into text in a few seconds.

90+ languages

English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese and dozens more — detected automatically.

TXT, SRT & VTT export

Copy plain text for captions and blogs, or download subtitle files with timestamps for your editor.

Nothing is stored

Audio is processed in memory to generate your transcript and then discarded. Your uploads stay yours.

Works without captions

We transcribe the actual audio track, so videos with no captions or burned-in subtitles work fine.

How the subtitle generator works

Subtitles are a transcript plus timing. The generator runs AI speech recognition over the audio track and keeps the start and end time of every sentence, then packages the result as numbered SRT blocks or a web-native VTT file. Because the timing comes straight from the speech model, most tracks import with no manual re-timing at all.

That’s the difference from pasting text into an editor’s caption tool: you skip the transcribing and the timing, and go straight to a quick proofread.

SRT or VTT — and where each one goes

SRT is the universal subtitle format: CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut and YouTube Studio all import it directly and place each line at the right moment. VTT is the same idea for the web — HTML5 video players and course platforms use it natively.

Rule of thumb: editing a video → SRT; embedding on a website → VTT; writing or translating → TXT. All three export from the same generation, so you don’t have to choose in advance.

Why bother subtitling at all?

Most short-form video is watched with the sound off — subtitled videos simply hold viewers longer, and they’re accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences from day one. One generated track follows your content everywhere: TikTok, Reels, Shorts, YouTube and your own site. For TikTok-specific workflows, the TikTok transcript generator goes deeper on that platform.
