How it works
- 1
Paste a link or upload
Use a Twitch, Kick or YouTube link, or upload a video file you already cut.
- 2
Captions are added for you
Speech is transcribed and shown word by word in time with the audio.
- 3
Pick a style and export
Choose Bold, Clean or Pop, or turn captions off for that clip. Then export.
Why captions matter on short video
A lot of people scroll with the sound off. Captions let them follow the moment anyway, and they make fast talking or a loud game easier to understand even with sound on.
Three styles
The current word lights up as it is spoken in every style. Switch styles with one tap or type "captions pop" in the editor.
- Bold: big words with the current one in green, good for hype moments
- Clean: smaller and calmer, good for talk and podcast clips
- Pop: the largest, with the current word in yellow
Questions
Can I turn captions off?
Yes, per clip. Some gameplay clips read better without them. Captions are on by default.
Can I add captions to a video I already cut?
Yes. Upload the file instead of pasting a link and it goes through the same editor.
Are captions burned into the video?
Yes. They are part of the exported MP4, so they show on every app without a separate subtitle file.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan gives you 3 clips a month with a small watermark and 1 full stream scan. No card needed. Paid plans remove the watermark.
