Common use cases
Captions for silent autoplay
Instagram and YouTube feeds autoplay muted by default — burned-in captions keep your message across even with the sound off.
Calling out a key moment
Add a short caption that appears only during a specific few seconds to highlight a key moment.
Simple subtitles
Add a handful of timed captions across a short video as basic subtitles, without any editing software.
How to use the Video Captions
Drop in a video — a first caption is added automatically for the first 5 seconds.
Play the preview and pause exactly where you want your next caption to start, then click "Add caption at current time" — no need to type timestamps.
Type the caption text and adjust its end time and position (top, middle or bottom) if needed. Repeat for as many captions as you want.
Pick a font size, then click Add captions — everything is burned directly into the video, ready to upload anywhere.
