Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.
What are subtitle templates?
Subtitle templates are pre-styled caption formats with a preset font, color scheme, and animation already applied to a sample video. The sample footage is an example use case — simply replace it with your own video, reapply auto-subtitles, and the caption style carries across your content instantly.
Can I use these subtitle templates on any video?
Yes — the templates work with any video length or format. Replace the sample footage, reapply auto-subtitles, and the preset style is applied to your content automatically.
Can I change the font in a subtitle template?
Yes. Every template font can be swapped out directly in the editor, and Kapwing also supports custom font uploads if you want to use your own typeface.
Are these subtitle templates free?
Yes, all subtitle templates are free to open and edit. Free accounts include a limited number of subtitle minutes — upgrade to Pro for unlimited subtitles and watermark-free exports.
Do I need to redesign the captions after replacing the sample video?
No. The subtitle style is preserved when you reapply auto-subtitles to your own footage. You can also add static text in the same style without using the auto-subtitle tool — useful for quote posts, title cards, or any content that doesn't require generated captions.
What types of subtitle templates are available?
The collection includes platform-matched styles like TikTok and Netflix captions, animated formats like karaoke and pop-up subtitles, aesthetic styles like neon, glowing, and handwritten fonts, broadcast-accurate styles like BBC captions, and creator-specific styles like MrBeast and Alex Hormozi captions.
Can I use these subtitle templates iPhone and Android?
Yes — all subtitle templates open directly in Kapwing's browser-based editor, which works on mobile without any app or download required. Replace the sample video, reapply auto-subtitles, and export your finished video from any device.
