How to add automatic captions to a video.

From spoken audio to an editable caption track, in three steps.

  1. 1

    Upload your video.

    Choose a file or drop it into the upload area above. Start as a guest, then let automatic transcription turn the speech in your video into captions with timings.

  2. 2

    Review the words and style.

    Correct names and unfamiliar terms, adjust timing, and preview a caption preset on your own video. Check the text size and position so it stays clear of faces and important details.

  3. 3

    Export your captioned video.

    Sign in to keep your project and request an export. Download an MP4 with captions burned into the picture, or save an SRT or VTT file for a platform that accepts separate captions.

Small clip.
Big feeling.

One line, three caption styles. Try them on a sample frame.

Captions you can edit, not just generate.

Fix any word
Names, brand terms and accents are where automatic transcription slips. Click a word in the transcript and correct it; the timing stays where it was.
Place captions on your own video
Drag the captions to where they read best and resize them on the frame, so they stay clear of faces and on-screen text.
Pick a style, then make it yours
Start from a preset and preview it over your footage. Clean Minimal and Documentary are free; the premium styles come with Starter.
Download the format you need
Export an MP4 with the captions burned in, or take an SRT or VTT file for a platform that adds captions itself.

Automatic captions, with room for your own style.

An AI caption generator turns speech into timed text. The useful part comes next: correcting a name, moving a line out of the way, and choosing a look that feels right for your video.

Captions for Instagram Reels
Keep your main point readable on a small screen. Short caption lines leave space for the person, product or step you want viewers to notice.
Captions for TikTok videos
Match the text to the pace of your clip. A highlighted word can draw attention to the punchline; a quieter style can suit a personal story.
Captions for YouTube Shorts
Help viewers follow a tutorial or spoken explanation without relying on sound. Review technical terms and names before publishing.

Free to start. No watermark on either plan.

Caption your first videos for free. Move to Starter when you need more exports, longer videos or the premium styles.

What does an AI auto caption generator do?

It transcribes the speech in a video and places the words on a timeline. You can review that text, adjust its appearance, and export captions with your video. This tool creates on-screen video captions, not social-media post descriptions.

Can I generate captions for free without a watermark?

The Free plan includes 3 video projects per month, with revised downloads of the same project included. Free exports have no watermark and support up to 1080p. Premium caption styles and higher limits require Starter.

Which video formats and sizes can I upload?

Choose an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV file. Free uploads can be up to 500 MB and 10 minutes long. Actual compatibility also depends on the audio and video codecs inside the file; MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio is a practical starting point.

Do I need to sign up before uploading?

No. You can start a project as a guest and review the captions in the editor. Sign in before exporting to claim your project and access it from your account. Your current edit stays with the project.

Should I review automatically generated captions?

Yes. Names, accents, background noise and specialist terms can trip up automatic transcription. Always review the wording and timing before sharing your video.

Should I download an MP4, SRT or VTT file?

An MP4 export burns your chosen caption style into the video, so that appearance travels with the clip. SRT and VTT are separate timed-text files for platforms or editors that accept caption tracks. Those platforms control how the separate text is displayed.

How long are uploaded videos kept?

Guest projects last 24 hours. Free account projects are retained for 7 days, and Starter projects for 90 days. Expired project media is removed by scheduled cleanup. Download anything you want to keep before your project expires.

Are captions the same as subtitles?

The terms overlap in everyday use. Subtitles often mean dialogue text, including translations; accessibility captions can also describe speakers and meaningful sounds. Automatic speech transcription does not capture every sound cue, so review the result for your audience's needs.
