3 free edits a month · No watermark · No card needed

  • Timed to every word

    Each word appears as you say it, in short lines that are easy to read on a phone.

  • Ten styles

    From quiet Minimal to Bold Pop and Karaoke. Choose where the captions sit and how many words show at once.

  • Fix a misheard word

    Tap a word in the transcript and type the right one. Its timing stays the same.

Choosing a caption style

There are ten styles: Bold Pop, Karaoke, Minimal, Boxed, Neon, Headline, Marker, Comic, Editorial and Typewriter. Pick a loud one when the captions carry the video, and Minimal when your face or a graphic should. Captions can sit at the top, middle or bottom of the frame, with two, three or four words on screen at a time. One word per line can be highlighted: a number, an acronym or the longest word.

When the transcript gets a word wrong

Names and brands are the usual misses. Open the Words list under the caption styles, tap the wrong word and type the right one. Only the text changes, so the caption still appears at the moment you say it. Leaving a word empty hides it from the captions without cutting the video.

Questions

Are the captions part of the video?

Yes. You download one MP4 with the captions in the picture, ready for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

How accurate are the captions?

It depends on the recording: clear speech close to the microphone comes out best. Anything that is wrong can be fixed by hand before you export, and a free preview shows the result first.

Can I use my own font or colours?

Not yet. You choose from the ten built-in styles, the position and the number of words per line.

Which languages work?

Captions follow the language you speak. English is the one we have tested most; if yours comes out wrong, you can fix any word by hand.

Is it really free?

Yes. The free plan gives you 3 exports a month, videos up to 3 minutes, in 1080p, with no watermark. No card needed.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your browser, on a computer or a phone.

What happens to my video?

It stays private. On the free plan the upload is deleted after 3 days and exports after 7, and you can remove a video yourself at any time.
