SRT generator Timed subtitles from any video, edited before you download.

Drop a video, get every word with its timing, fix anything by typing or dragging a line, and download the SRT or VTT. Burn them into the video too if you want.

SRT generator at a glance

An SRT is only useful when the times are right. Here every line has a start and an end you can type or drag, the words inside keep their timing, and the file downloads the moment you are done.

Works with
MP4, MOV and WebM. Subtitles written from the sound, every word timed.
Comes back as
SRT, VTT and plain text, and an MP4 with the subtitles burned in at the size of your video.
Editing
Every line is text with a start and an end: edit, split, join, retime on the strip, drag anywhere on the picture, undo.
Runs

How it works

  1. Drop the video in. MP4, MOV or WebM.
  2. Choose Auto captions. The words come back from the sound with their timing, grouped into lines you can regroup.
  3. Fix and download. Edit any line, retime it, then download the SRT or VTT. Or burn them into an MP4 on the same screen.

Questions people ask

What is in the SRT?

Numbered cues with start and end times to the millisecond and the text of each line, exactly as edited. VTT and plain text come from the same button.

Can I change how the lines are split?

Yes. Set the words per line and regroup, or split any line with Enter and join with Backspace.

Does YouTube accept the file?

Yes. SRT and VTT both upload as subtitles on YouTube, and most platforms take one or the other.

Is it free?
