Adding Telugu captions to your social media clips makes them accessible to a wider audience and boosts engagement. Follow this simple workflow using free AI tools:

1. record or prepare your video
   export your final edit from your primary editor in MP4 format or have the finished Reel/Short ready on your device.
   
   
2. visit Capsai Auto Subtitle Generator
   open https://capsai.co/auto-subtitle-generator in your browser. no signup is required for basic usage.
   
   
3. upload your video or paste its URL
   click Upload Video to select your MP4 file, or Paste URL if it’s already hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, or another platform.
   
   
4. choose Telugu as the subtitle language
   in the language dropdown, select Telugu. Capsai will begin processing your audio immediately.
   
   
5. review and edit the generated subtitles
   use the in-browser editor to correct any misheard words, adjust punctuation, and split long lines at natural pauses for readability.
   
   
6. customize subtitle appearance (optional)
   if you plan to burn-in captions, adjust font size, color, and positioning so the text stands out against your visuals.
   
   
7. download SRT or burned‑in video
   choose Download SRT to get a standalone subtitle file, or Burn Into Video to export a single MP4 with embedded Telugu captions.
   
   
8. trim for social media formats
   if your clip is longer than the platform limit (Instagram Stories, Reels, TikTok), use a simple editor like CapCut or InShot to trim the video; your burned-in captions will remain intact.
   
   
9. upload to your social app
   • for Instagram Reels or TikTok, use the burned-in MP4
   • for platforms that support subtitle files (YouTube Shorts), upload your SRT under the Captions settings
   
   
10. preview and share
    watch your captioned video on mobile to confirm timing and legibility, then post to engage your Telugu‑speaking audience.
