Add Subtitles to Video

The Kapwing subtitler is the web's best tool for adding subtitles to your video with no watermark. Research shows that subtitled videos on social media get significantly higher engagement than videos without subtitles. This editor allows you to burn subtitles into video directly, so that the subtitles will not be lost no matter what platform the video gets shared to.

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 transription is a great way to start subtitling a video while saving you time and effort.

The subtitle editor also allows creators to time out subtitles to the exact moments of the video as they see fit. Even for very short or choppy dialogue, Kapwing has your back with making your video more accessible.

Kapwing allows creators 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 be created!

Do you already have your subtitles handly 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 - burn the subtitles directly into your video.

We hope that Kapwing’s caption maker makes your videos more accessible, engaging, and compelling. Our free web app was designed to make tedious subtitling editing tasks faster and simpler for the average creator. Enjoy!
