100% private

Everything runs on your device — your footage is never uploaded.

Good to know

Why burn subtitles in

Most social video is watched on mute, so on-screen captions are the difference between being understood and being scrolled past. Burning them in guarantees they appear on every platform, in every player.

Soft vs. hard subtitles

A soft subtitle track can be switched off — or dropped entirely when a platform doesn’t support it. Hard (burned-in) captions are painted into the frames, so they can’t be removed or misaligned. The trade-off: they’re permanent, so export a captioned copy and keep your original.

Keep them readable

Use the outline or box style over busy footage, keep lines short, and size captions so they’re legible on a phone — roughly five to six percent of the frame height works well.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the subtitle tool free?
Yes — completely free, no account, no limits and no watermarks. It’s part of Creator Studio.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Your clip and .srt are read locally in your browser, so nothing leaves your device.
What subtitle files work?
Standard .srt and .vtt files. Timings and text are parsed automatically.
Can the captions be turned off later?
No — burned-in captions are part of the picture by design. Keep your original file if you need a version without them.
What format is the output?
WebM — a modern, well-compressed format that plays in every major browser and on most devices.
