Frequently asked questions
Is this subtitle generator really free?
Yes. You can generate subtitles for videos up to 5 minutes without creating an account, and there is no watermark on anything you download.
Which subtitle formats can I download?
Every run produces three files: an .srt for video editors, a .vtt for web video players, and a plain .txt transcript you can reuse in posts or descriptions.
What happens to my video after processing?
The file is deleted from our servers right after the subtitles are generated, and the result expires one hour later. We never reuse your uploads.
Why was my video rejected?
The free tool accepts videos up to 5 minutes and 300 MB that contain spoken audio. If your video is longer, trim it first, or create a SocialFaktory account to caption full-length videos.
Want these captions styled and burned into your video?
SocialFaktory styles your captions, burns them in, and posts the finished video to every platform on the schedule you set.
