Make sure your videos are accessible to everyone — all in just a few clicks.
How to convert subtitles online
- Upload file
Upload a video with subtitles to Kapwing, or just upload a subtitle file. To upload the subtitle file, go to “Subtitles” in the left-hand sidebar of the studio. Click “Upload SRT / VTT” and select the file from your computer. Note: You’ll need to link to or upload to a video in your studio to be able to access the Subtitles feature. But don’t worry, this doesn’t affect your conversion.
- Edit subtitles
Now you’ll see the transcript. If you like, you can edit in several ways, including fixing the time sync and making any corrections. If you uploaded a video, you can also start editing, like changing the font, color, and positioning of your existing captions. You can also use Kapwing’s suite of 100+ editing tools to add all the final touches you need.
- Export and share
To download a new subtitle file, select the download icon at the top right of the subtitle menu. You can download your subtitles as an SRT, VTT, or TXT file. If you edited or created a video to accompany your subtitles, click “Export Project” at the top right of your dashboard. You can then download an MP4 file or share the link to your finished project with your colleagues, friends, and family.
