Add subtitles to a video, free
Most people watch Reels and Shorts with the sound off, so a video without captions loses viewers in the first seconds. BolCaps writes the subtitles for you, times every word and lets you pick an animated style. There is no watermark, and the video is processed in your browser.
Add subtitles to my video
How to do it
- Open the Caption studio and add your video.
- Pick the spoken language: English, Urdu, Hindi or one of 90+ more. For Urdu and Hindi, choose the Accurate model.
- Wait a few seconds while the captions are written, then fix any word that is wrong.
- Choose one of 60 animated caption styles, the font, size and position.
- Export an MP4 with the subtitles burned in, or download an SRT or VTT file for YouTube, Premiere Pro or another editor.
Burned-in captions or a subtitle file?
Burned-in captions are part of the picture, so they show on TikTok, Reels and WhatsApp Status where there is no captions button. An SRT or VTT file is better for YouTube long videos, because viewers can turn it on or off and YouTube can read it.
Made for Urdu and Hindi too
Most free caption tools struggle with Urdu script. BolCaps has Urdu and Hindi fonts, right-to-left layout for Urdu, and a Roman Urdu option, so your captions look right for your audience.
