Video Caption Generator

Use as a Converter

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

Create SRT File

Use our tool as a free .srt file generator if you need a text document containing information about subtitles, such as start and end time codes and the text of all subtitle sequences.

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.

Video caption maker

Video captioning is a "must have" for every modern video, be it a feature film or stories in social media. Captions allow viewers to watch the recording even if they don't have headphones and can't turn the sound on on transport or in public places.

While subtitles generally display only discourse translation, captions provide an audio transcription of all the sounds, such as background noise, screams, laughter, etc. Open captions are embedded in the file and are present on the screen permanently, closed captions may be turned on and off as the need requires.

Creating captions manually takes much time and effort. But with an automatic video caption maker, the job may be done in minutes. Then you'll just give it final editing and polishing, and the captured video is ready for publishing online or for private use.

Our tool allows creating auto-captions for videos for free. The final project will have built-in captions, or you can download a separate SRT file.
