Edit Subtitles

Edit all of your subtitles online

Once you've added subtitles to your content, you may want to make a few edits for accuracy and polish. Before, this used to be a headache. Kapwing's subtitle editor makes it easy. With Kapwing, you can edit subtitles and transcripts, apply effects, change fonts, and so much more. There's no software or plugins to download—you can transcribe videos and edit your subtitles online all from the Kapwing editor.

So, why would you edit your subtitles? You may want to fix small mistakes, change the timing, or simply adjust how subtitles look in your video. You can automatically create subtitles in Kapwing, and then edit every aspect to match or brand or perfect the small details. All you need to do is upload your video to our editor, select 'Auto subtitles', and then edit the subtitles like you would a text document from the same screen. You can also apply all sorts of built-in visual design effects and even upload custom fonts to tailor-fit your subtitles to your video or the rest of your brand. Once you're done editing, export and download your subtitles to popular file types like SRT, VTT, and TXT. Need to hardcode your subtitles? You can do that, too.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.

As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.

As a English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
