Subtitles for Videos

Use as a Converter

Before saving your movie with subtitles, you can convert it to any desired format like MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, and others.

Options to Choose from

You can decide how to add subtitles to your video: manually or with an SRT subtitle file. In any case, you can edit them then.

Edit Subtitle Font

We don't limit you! Select a font, its size, align the text. Also, choose its color and background to make the subs look brighter and seen on both black and white.

Subtitle a video online

To start with, let’s state: what are subtitles and what do we need them for? It’s a transcript of the audio in films, series, video games, etc. that helps us comprehend the action or translates the narration if there is no dubbing.

Sometimes we can’t find the captions for a film and have to create them by ourselves, sometimes we need to create them for our own video. In either case, we’ll need a safe, user-friendly and reliable tool.

And we just have one! Our subtitle editor works online so you don’t have to waste your phone’s memory on some clumsy application. It’s intuitively comprehensive and compatible with all the devices and operating systems. And yes, free!

Upload a video

Hit the "Choose file" button and select a file from your camera roll or call a drop-down menu on the right and import it from one of the available cloud storages.

Add subtitles

If you happen to have ready subtitles (.SRT file), just upload it and proceed to edit. If you are just about to create them, click the "Add manually" button. Add or edit subtitles and set their start/end time either manually or in the timeline below the player. Change the way they look in "Styles". Download the SRT file with your captions separately and, finally, click "Export" to embed the hard subtitles into your video.

Save the result

Now, when your video has brand-new customized subtitles, download it. Don’t forget to have a quick preview and make sure that captions are synchronized with the clip smoothly and properly. If so, save the video to your personal device or a cloud storage account. If not, just click the "Edit" and fix all the imperfections.
