Simple Workflow
How Do You Generate Subtitles With Our AI?
Automatically add subtitles to your video in three steps. Upload your file or paste a link, let our AI transcribe the audio with word-level timing, then customize styles and export.
01
Upload Your Video or Audio
Start by uploading your video or audio file directly. We support common formats like MP4, MP3, and WAV. You can also paste a link from YouTube or TikTok, and our AI will automatically extract the audio track for you.
02
Generate and Edit Subtitles
Select the source language and our AI subtitle generator will create perfectly timed captions. You can then use the simple online editor to review the text, adjust timing on the waveform, and ensure every word is perfect.
03
Customize and Export
Make your subtitles stand out with custom fonts, colors, and animations. Once you're happy with the style, you can burn the captions directly into your MP4 video or download a separate .LRC file for use on other platforms.
