Frequently asked questions

How do I add text to a video?

Import your video, type your text, choose a position and click “Add text”. It's burned into the video right in your browser. Free, no account, no watermark, no fee.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. The text is drawn onto the video entirely in your browser with ffmpeg.wasm. Your file never leaves your device.

Can I change the font size or position?

Yes. Choose top, center or bottom, and adjust the text size in the advanced settings before burning it in.

Will the text always be readable?

The text sits on a semi-transparent dark background box, so it stays readable over any footage.

Can I add more than one line of text?

This tool burns a single line at a time. For multiple timed lines (subtitles), use the Subtitle generator tool instead.
