SRT subtitles generator

These days, having subtitles in videos has become almost a requirement. And for good reason — it helps to make the content more inclusive, accessible, and engaging for a diverse audience. Thus, many beginners in content creation want to learn how to make an SRT file.

SRT (SubRip Subtitle) is one of the most common text-based formats used for adding subtitles or captions to videos. Making SRT files manually might be time-consuming, especially for longer videos. However, there are tools and software that can assist in generating subtitle files more efficiently. Some video editing software also has a feature to import and synchronize SRT files with the video.

If you also want to create subtitles, try our free SRT generator tool! Using it, you can make and edit subtitle files right in the browser and download them separately or embedded in the video.
