Frequently asked questions

How do I add subtitles to a video for free?
Import your video and click “Generate & burn subtitles”. The audio is transcribed by an on-device AI model and the lines are burned onto the picture automatically, no account, no watermark, no fee.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Both the transcription (Whisper) and the subtitle burn-in run entirely in your browser, on your device with ffmpeg.wasm. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Which languages are supported?
Auto-detect, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese.
Can I choose where the subtitles appear?
Yes. Pick top, center or bottom before you generate.
How accurate is the transcription?
It uses an on-device Whisper model. Accuracy is very good for clear speech but can vary with heavy accents, background music or overlapping talkers.
Is this an automatic subtitle generator?
Yes, as a video subtitle generator it needs zero manual typing. Transcription and subtitle placement both happen automatically; you only pick the position and language.
