Video and subtitles
Any MOV, MP4 or WebM, and an SRT, VTT or SBV file, or subtitles pasted in.
Free tool
Add subtitles to a video, burned in for good.
Open your video and its subtitle file, SRT, VTT or SBV, or paste the subtitles in. Choose a style, a size and a place, watch them on the video, then save an MP4 with the captions written into the picture, so they show on Instagram, LinkedIn, X or any player without a separate file. It all runs in this tab, so nothing is uploaded.
No subtitles yet. Make them from the video with the subtitle generator.
Or paste subtitles
Your video and subtitles stay in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Captions in the picture
Every frame is drawn with its line and saved as an MP4, the sound copied as it is.
Questions
Good to know.
Burned in or a separate file, which is better?
Burned-in subtitles always show, on any site and player, and nobody can switch them off. A separate SRT file lets viewers turn them on or off and pick a language. Many people use both: the SRT on YouTube, the burned-in video on social media.
I do not have subtitles yet. How do I make them?
Use the subtitle generator: it writes them from the video's speech and saves an SRT. Fix any line in the subtitle editor, then come back here.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video, the subtitles and the new MP4 all stay in this tab.
Which languages work?
Any language your computer has a font for, including right-to-left scripts. The text is drawn with the site's font where it has the letters, and the system's fonts for the rest.
The subtitles come too early or too late. What now?
Use the shift box: 0.5 moves every line half a second later, -0.5 half a second earlier.
