Captions that feel made, not generated.

Word-by-word captions in English and Hinglish, in twenty-two looks worth posting. Your laptop does the rendering — so the video never leaves your device, and nothing is capped, queued or squeezed.

Nothing to upload

Your video is captioned and re-encoded right here in the browser. Only the sound goes out — about 0.2 MB a minute — so the words can be recognised, and it isn't kept afterwards.

No two-minute cap

Tools that render on their own servers pay by the minute, which is why they stop you. Your laptop sends no invoice: a 30-second Reel or a 40-minute podcast, exported as often as you like.

Built for Hinglish

Devanagari that renders properly, code-mixed sentences that stay readable, and a list of your own names and brands so they are spelled right every time instead of guessed at.

How it works

Three steps, about a minute

No account to make, nothing to install, no queue to wait in.

  1. 1

    Open your video

    An MP4, a MOV — or a recording with no picture at all. The sound goes off to be turned into words; the video stays exactly where it is.

  2. 2

    Pick a look, fix the words

    Twenty-two styles, tried on your own footage. Correct a name, move a word, drag the captions to where they belong.

  3. 3

    Download and post

    An MP4 with the captions burned in, or an SRT or Final Cut file for the edit you have already started.

The library

Twenty-two looks. Eleven are free.

Every card below came out of the app itself — the same fonts, the same renderer, the same pixels you export. Nothing here was drawn by hand for the sake of a nice screenshot.

and then change anything Font, size, colour, outline, box, glow, position, animation — or give one caption in the middle of a video a look entirely its own.

Timing

Every word on its own clock

Captions are cut into phrases that read comfortably, and every word keeps the moment it was actually spoken. That is what lets a word fill with colour as you say it, pop as it lands, or type itself onto the screen.

  • The word worth emphasising is picked for you — or from how loudly and how long you said it.
  • Wrong word? Click it and type. The timing stays where it was.
  • Move a word between captions, split one, or nudge everything by a tenth of a second.

The editor

Everything on one screen

Drag, type, done. What you change shows on the video as you change it.

The captionkit editor: the video with captions, the style library, and a waveform timeline

Drag it where it belongs

Move the caption on the video, resize from the corner, and get a warning when it slips under Instagram's own buttons.

A timeline with the sound on it

The waveform and every caption block: drag to move, pull the edges to retime, double-click to retype, split at the playhead.

Safe zones that match the app

Reels, Shorts and TikTok overlays drawn where the real buttons sit, so nothing important hides behind them.

Your own fonts

Add a .ttf or .otf and it stays in your browser — never uploaded, never shared.

One caption, its own look

Give a single line another style, colour or size when it needs to hit harder than the rest.

Undo everything

Every edit, all the way back, and your work is remembered per video if you close the tab.

Sound only

A voice note is a Reel waiting to happen

Open an MP3, an M4A or a WhatsApp voice note and the words are captioned onto a background of your own: 9:16 for Reels, 1:1 for the feed, 16:9 for YouTube, in whatever colour suits you. Out comes an MP4 with your recording intact.

Podcast clips, voiceovers, a thought you had in the car.

Language

हिंदी, Hinglish, and the mix you actually speak

Most caption tools are built for English and treat Hindi as an afterthought. This one is built here: Devanagari renders properly, code-mixed sentences stay readable, and the words a recogniser keeps getting wrong are fixed once and remembered for every video after.

More Indian languages next, in the order you ask for them.

Exports

Finish where you already edit

MP4Captions burned in. 720p free, 1080p on a paid plan, and the sound copied across untouched.
SRT & VTTFor YouTube's subtitle upload, VN, Premiere, or anything else that reads a subtitle file.
Final Cut XMLThe captions as real, editable titles. Paste them onto your edit — the master is encoded once.
TranscriptThe whole thing as plain text, for a description, a blog post or the next script.

Exports never count against a quota. Your device did the work, so there is nothing to meter.

Straight answers

Does my video get uploaded anywhere?

No. It is read, captioned and re-encoded inside your browser. The only thing that leaves your device is the sound, compressed to about 0.2 MB a minute, so a speech model can turn it into words. We don't store it, and we never train anything on it.

Why is there no limit on video length?

Because the rendering happens on your machine, not ours. A tool that renders on its own servers pays for every minute you export, so it has to cap you. We aren't paying for it, so we don't.

Will it work on my phone?

The editor and the caption files work in any modern browser. Making the MP4 needs the browser to encode video, which Chrome and Edge on a computer do well and Android Chrome manages for short clips. On an iPhone, take the SRT or Final Cut file, or come back to a laptop for the video.

How good is it with Hindi and Hinglish?

Good, and getting better. Hindi comes back in Devanagari and the Devanagari style renders it properly. For Hinglish we pair an Indian speech model with word-level timings, so the spelling is right and the timing is still exact. Anything a recogniser keeps mangling — a name, a brand — you fix once and it stays fixed.

Can I use my own font?

Yes, on a paid plan: add a .ttf or .otf and it is stored in your browser only. The fonts that come with the app are open-licence ones we are allowed to pass on, so you can use them commercially.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep everything until the period you paid for ends, and you are not charged again. Your videos and transcripts were never ours to hold on to.
