Answer first

What are auto subtitles?

Auto subtitles are timed captions generated automatically from the speech in a video. AutoCaptions extracts the audio in your browser, sends it for transcription, and returns editable subtitle lines. You can keep them as a separate SRT/VTT file or burn them into the video.

  • Word-level timing for editing and karaoke styles.
  • SRT, VTT and TXT downloads free on every plan.
  • Burned-in MP4 export for platforms that ignore sidecar files.

Three steps from speech to subtitles

01

Drop a video

MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV. The video stays in your browser; the audio is extracted locally.

02

Review the subtitles

Fix names and jargon, merge or split lines, and nudge the timing on the timeline.

03

Export

Download SRT/VTT/TXT for free, or export an MP4 with captions baked in.

Free subtitle files, paid clean video

SRT, VTT and TXT downloads are free on every plan. The free video export is watermarked, capped at 720p and limited to 10-minute videos. Pro removes the watermark and raises the video limit to 30 minutes; Max goes to 60 minutes and adds multi-speaker captions, Auto Clips and the keyword highlighter.

Auto subtitle questions

What are auto subtitles?

Auto subtitles are timed captions generated from a video’s speech by a speech-to-text model. They can be burned into the video or downloaded as SRT/VTT files.

Are auto subtitles free?

Yes to start. The editor and SRT/VTT/TXT downloads are free. Free video exports include a watermark and are capped at 720p and 10 minutes.

Can I download SRT and VTT?

Yes — SRT, VTT and TXT downloads are free on every plan, including the free plan.

How accurate are automatic subtitles?

Clean single-speaker audio is usually close; accents, crosstalk, noise and jargon need a review pass. Always check names and technical terms before publishing.
