Video to Subtitles (SRT)
ℹ️ How it works:
- Upload your video file
- Pick the spoken language (or auto-detect), and optionally a language to translate into
- Download the subtitles as an SRT file
Generate Subtitles from Video for Free
Turn a video's speech into subtitles automatically. Upload your clip, choose the spoken language (or let it auto-detect), and our AI transcribes the audio into a timed SRT subtitle file you can download. You can also translate the subtitles between English, Spanish, French and German (any of these to any other). The SRT works with any video player and most editors — load it alongside your video, or add it in your editor. No sign-up and no watermarks.

- Choose the spoken language (or leave it on Auto-detect), and optionally pick a language to translate the subtitles into.

Frequently Asked Questions
You get a .srt subtitle file (not a video with the captions burned in). Most players let you load an SRT next to the video; to permanently embed captions, add the SRT in a video editor.
No — leave it on Auto-detect and the AI figures out the spoken language. Selecting the correct language can improve accuracy if you already know it.
Accuracy is good for clear speech, but background noise, heavy accents, or overlapping voices can cause mistakes. The SRT is a great starting point you can quickly tidy up in any text or subtitle editor.
Yes. You can optionally translate the subtitles between English, Spanish, French and German — any of these four to any other. These are the languages our offline translation models support, so translation works when the spoken language is one of them (or auto-detected as one); other spoken languages are kept in their original language. Pick a target under “Translate subtitles to” before generating.
