Where to start: a YouTube link or a file

You can generate subtitles in two ways: paste a YouTube link, or upload your own MP4 file. In both cases the tool transcribes the speech, splits it into timed segments and, if you want, translates it into your chosen language. Nothing to install — everything runs right in your browser.

Step by step

• Open the Video Translation section and choose subtitle creation.
• Paste a YouTube link or upload an MP4 file.
• Pick the subtitle language — keep the original or translate it.
• Start processing. The system transcribes the speech into timed segments.
• Review and fine-tune the text, then export the subtitles or burn them into the video.

Editing segments and splitting long lines

Automatic transcription is rarely perfect, so you can edit every subtitle segment. Timestamps are linked to the video, so clicking a timecode jumps straight to that point to check the text matches the audio. If a line runs too long, the "Split long" option automatically breaks it into shorter, more readable segments.

💡 Short subtitles are easier to read. Two lines and roughly 40 characters per line is a good rule — viewers can keep up even when speech is fast.

Exporting SRT, VTT and ASS

Download finished subtitles as SRT, VTT or ASS. SRT is universal and works with most players and platforms. VTT suits the web and HTML5 video. ASS supports advanced styling and positioning. That way you can use your subtitle file anywhere — in your own player, an editor, or when uploading to YouTube.

Burning subtitles into the video

If you want subtitles permanently on screen — for social media, where clips often play without sound — burn them straight into the MP4. The style picker lets you set the font, size, text color, outline, background box and position, so the result matches your look and stays readable on any device.
