Why CapsAI
Making subtitles from scratch vs editing existing ones
If you don't have subtitles yet, you need a subtitle maker - not an editor. CapsAI generates subtitles from your video's speech, then lets you refine the text, timing, and style before export.
- The AI draft saves you from typing every line by hand
- Timed segments follow the speech in your video
- You can correct any word, name, or line break in the editor
- The output is a starting point you refine - not a final product you're stuck with
Why CapsAI
Subtitle styling that matches your content
Plain white text at the bottom of the screen is fine for a documentary. But if you're making Reels, Shorts, or TikToks, you need captions that actually look like they belong in your content. Bold colors, word-by-word highlighting, custom fonts - these aren't just aesthetic choices, they're retention tools.
- Word-by-word color highlighting keeps viewers reading along instead of scrolling past
- Bold sans-serif fonts perform better on mobile than thin serif fonts at small sizes
- Positioning matters - center placement for vertical video, bottom-third for widescreen
- Branded color palettes make your content recognizable even when viewers watch on mute

FAQ
Subtitle maker - frequently asked questions
How do I create subtitles for a video?
Upload an MP4 or MOV video, choose the spoken language, and let CapsAI generate a subtitle draft. Edit the text and timing, apply a style, and export a captioned MP4.
What's the difference between a subtitle maker and editor?
A subtitle maker creates subtitles from a video; a subtitle editor changes subtitles that already exist. CapsAI generates subtitles from your video's speech and lets you edit them before export; it does not import existing SRT or VTT files.
Can I add subtitles to someone else's video?
Only add subtitles to videos you own or have permission to process.
Can I make subtitles in Hindi and English together?
Choose Hinglish for speech that mixes Hindi and English. Bilingual subtitles with a translated second language are not part of the current workflow.
Which files can I upload?
The uploader accepts MP4 or MOV video files. Audio-only files and pasted video URLs are not part of the caption workflow.
Can I download SRT or VTT subtitle files?
The export is an MP4 with the captions burned in. Separate SRT or VTT files are not available from the editor yet; the standalone converters under /tools work on subtitle files you already have.
How accurate are the captions?
Accuracy depends on audio clarity, background noise, accents, and language selection. CapsAI creates a first draft and lets you edit captions before export.
How much can I try for free?
You can start with 3 free minutes. Free video export may include a CapsAI watermark; watermark-free video export is listed as a paid-plan benefit.
