YouTube Shorts are a powerful way to grow fast, but many creators miss out on viewers by skipping subtitles. Adding Hinglish (Hindi + English) captions helps you connect with India’s bilingual audience - especially on mute. Here’s how to do it with free AI tools:

1. Use Capsai Auto Subtitle Generator

Capsai instantly generates Hinglish subtitles in seconds. Just upload your Short or paste your YouTube link, select Hinglish as the language, and click Generate Subtitles.

2. Edit the Captions for Clarity

Use Capsai’s built-in editor to fix any errors, split long lines, and make the tone casual - perfect for Shorts. For example:
❌ “You should try this method.”
✅ “Yeh trick try karo, trust me!”

3. Style for Mobile Visibility

For Shorts, keep your captions:

• Centered and low on screen (but above YouTube’s UI)
• Large and bold, with a background or outline
• Short (no more than 2 lines at a time, 25–30 characters per line)
  
  

4. Burn the Subtitles into the Video

Click Burn Into Video on Capsai to export a final MP4 with embedded Hinglish captions - ready to upload directly to YouTube Shorts.

5. Upload and Optimize on YouTube

• Title: Use a Hinglish phrase like “Best Editing Hack – Video Viral Banega!”
• Hashtags: Add #YouTubeShorts #Hinglish #Subtitles
• Description: Mention that it includes Hinglish captions for better reach
  
  

6. Why Hinglish Works

• 75% of mobile users in India watch Shorts on mute
• Hinglish appeals to Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities alike
• It improves retention, understanding, and shareability
  
  

7. Track Performance

Use YouTube Analytics to monitor watch time, drop-off points, and engagement. If viewers watch longer, your Hinglish subtitle strategy is working.

By adding free AI-generated Hinglish subtitles to your Shorts, you’re not just captioning your content - you’re unlocking attention and virality for India’s biggest audience segment.
