Add Subtitles to Video

To get started, upload pictures, GIFs, and videos or paste a link to import media. Once you upload your content, you can use Kapwing's easy subtitle tool to time out the text to the correct position in your video. By listening to your accurately play and adding text at the right moments, you will be able to accurately position the captions in your video.

Kapwing also has an AI-powered auto-generate feature for subtitles. Create subtitles automatically, then edit the auto-generated subtitles so that they are perfectly matched to the audio in your video. The machine powered transcription is a great way to subtitle a video in half the time.

Kapwing allows you to adjust the font, size, color, and position of the subtitles as well. You can make the subtitles appear higher or lower on your video, or even resize your video so that the subtitles fit exactly where you need. There are a few different styles for subtitles that Kapwing supports: you can add a full background to make your subtitles more readable, or just a text shadow, or no background at all. When everything looks perfect, just click "Create" and your video will quickly process.

Do you already have your subtitles handy in the form of a SRT file? Kapwing also supports adding SRT to video! Just upload your SRT file and Kapwing will do the rest of the work to burn the subtitles directly into your video.

Closed captioning is becoming more and more popular even for viewers who do not face challenges with hearing. Captions are important for today's viewers watching video on phones in crowded or outdoor places, where hearing the audio may not be convenient. The Kapwing subtitle editor allows you to add and edit captions that will appear on your video, wherever it gets posted. The subtitler video tool was designed to make content more accessible, engaging, and compelling no matter what kind of video you’re making.
