How do I generate subtitles for a video automatically?
Upload the video, choose the speech language or auto detect, and press Add captions. The AI transcribes the speech and returns a subtitled MP4 and an SRT file.
Can I download the subtitles as an SRT file?
Yes. Every job includes an SRT file with the same timings as the burned-in subtitles.
How do I add the SRT file to YouTube?
In YouTube Studio, open the video, go to Subtitles, choose to upload a file with timing and select the SRT. Viewers can then turn the subtitles on or off.
How much does the subtitle generator cost?
15 credits per started minute of video, plus 5 credits if you translate. A 10-minute video costs 150 credits, or 155 with translation.
Which languages can it make subtitles in?
13 speech languages, or automatic detection: English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian and Russian. Subtitles can be translated into any of the same 13.
Can I get subtitles without burning them into the video?
The job always makes a burned-in MP4, but the SRT file is separate. Use only the SRT if you want subtitles viewers can switch off.
What's the difference between subtitles and captions here?
None in how they're made. This page starts with a plain Bold white subtitle look; the same tool also has word-by-word caption styles for short-form posts.
How long a video can I subtitle?
Up to 10 minutes and 200 MB, in MP4, MOV or WEBM. For a longer recording, split it into parts and subtitle each one.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Sign in with Google or email; each job costs credits from your balance, and the result is saved in My Videos.
What if a job fails?
If a job can't finish, the credits it used go back to your balance automatically.
