Add a video
Your video and its words stay on your computer.What reaches our server?
Your video and its words stay on your computer. The speech is turned into words in your browser, and the MP4, the caption files and the project files are made there too. The file's name, size and length go to our server at two times only. One is when you ask for something that needs the unlock: the MP4 without the mark, an MP4 over 3 minutes, or a project file. The other is as you add a video, if you're signed in or this browser has unlocked that video before, to check for an earlier unlock. They're kept only for a video you unlock, so the unlock covers that one video. Nothing else about the video leaves your computer.

How it works
Drop a video
Drop an MP4, MOV or other video or sound file. The speech is turned into words in your browser, so the video isn't uploaded. The first time, the speech model downloads once, about 600 MB.
Pick a look and fix the words
Choose one of five looks and where the captions sit, then go through the list of captions and fix names, spellings and anything misheard.
Download
Get the video with the captions burned in, an SRT or VTT, or a project for CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro with every caption as text you can edit.
Five looks to start from
Each look sets the font, size, outline, box and where the captions sit. Change the position, turn capitals on or off, or pick the colour of the spoken word, and the preview shows it on a frame of your own video.
CleanWhite, a thin outline and a soft shadow, low on the pictureTwo lines BoldCapitals, a heavy outline, the spoken word in yellowA few words at a time BoxWhite on a black box, the way TV captions lookOne line PopVery big, one or two words at a time, the spoken word on a boxA few words at a time Lower thirdSmall, set left on a box in the lower thirdTwo lines
The spoken-word highlight in the Bold and Pop looks is drawn into the MP4 only. In a project each caption is one title, so you can still edit it.
What each editor gets
The project download puts the same captions in your editor as text, timed to the frame. Each editor stores text its own way, so here is what comes across in each one.
CapCut
A project folder for CapCut desktop
- The captions on a caption track, each with its colour, size, place, outline and box. They stay CapCut captions you can edit.
- CapCut shows them in its own font.
- The video is inside the project folder, so the project opens without Link media.
Premiere Pro
A Premiere XML (.xml)
- Each caption is a Text clip on the track above the video, with its words, size, colour and place, on the frames the MP4 shows it.
- Premiere's XML import has no bold, outline or box, so the text comes in plain.
- The video opens offline. Right-click it in the Project panel, choose Link Media, click Locate and pick your video.
DaVinci Resolve
A Resolve project (.drp), for the free version or Studio
- Text+ titles on the track above the video, with their colour, size, place, outline and box.
- Shadows don't come across.
- The video opens offline. Right-click it in the Media Pool, choose Relink Selected Clips and pick the folder with your video.
Final Cut Pro
An FCPXML
- Basic Titles connected above the video, with their colour, size, place, bold and outline.
- A Basic Title has no box behind its text, so the box isn't drawn.
- The video shows Missing File. Select the project, choose File > Relink Files > Original Media, click Locate All and pick your video.
What leaves your computer
Your video and its words stay on your computer. The speech is turned into words in your browser, and the MP4, the caption files and the project files are made there too. The file's name, size and length go to our server at two times only. One is when you ask for something that needs the unlock: the MP4 without the mark, an MP4 over 3 minutes, or a project file. The other is as you add a video, if you're signed in or this browser has unlocked that video before, to check for an earlier unlock.

The first time, your browser downloads the speech model, and after that it starts right away. The privacy policy has the details.

A purchase covers one video, matched by its file name, size and length: its MP4 and the projects for all four editors. The free tier needs no account, and its MP4 is for videos up to 3 minutes.
They're different jobs. A captioned video ($5) is new captions for one video you made, and its CapCut project is a fresh one with the video and the captions in it. A CapCut project conversion ($9) moves an edit you've already built, with all its clips, into or out of CapCut. One doesn't cover the other, so you never pay twice for the same thing.
FAQ
Is it free?
Yes, for short videos. The captioned MP4 is free up to 3 minutes, with a small cutconvert.com mark in the corner, and the SRT and VTT files are free too. You don't need an account.
What does $5 get me?
One video, captioned: the MP4 at any length with no mark, and the same captions as a project for CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro, where every caption is text you can still edit. Pro includes 10 captioned videos a month and Studio 40.
Which editors can open the captions?
CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro. CapCut keeps each caption's colour, size, outline and box, and opens with the video already in the project. Resolve keeps the outline and box. Final Cut keeps the outline but has no box. Premiere gets plain Text clips with the right words, size, colour and place.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The speech is turned into words in your browser, and the MP4 and the project files are made there too. The file's name, size and length go to our server at two times only. One is when you ask for something that needs the unlock: the MP4 without the mark, an MP4 over 3 minutes, or a project file. The other is as you add a video, if you're signed in or this browser has unlocked that video before, to check for an earlier unlock. They're kept only for a video you unlock, so the unlock covers that one video. Nothing else about the video leaves your computer.
How long does it take?
When the browser can use your computer's graphics chip, as recent Chrome and Edge can, a minute of speech turns into words in seconds. Without it, a smaller model runs on the processor, which is much slower. The first time, the speech model downloads once, about 600 MB.
Does it work on a phone?
It's made for a computer. A phone has to download the 600 MB speech model and usually transcribes slowly, and some phone browsers can't make the MP4. Make the captions on a computer, then send the MP4 to your phone.
Which languages?
About 100. The language is detected for you, or you can pick it. The Pop look's font has Latin capitals only, so pick another look for other alphabets.
How accurate are the captions?
Speech recognition makes mistakes. Check names and spellings before you post. Clear speech without music under it comes out best. Names, brands and slang are where it slips most, so read the list of captions and fix them before you download.
Are CapCut’s auto captions still free?
Not for everyone. Newsweek reported that CapCut Pro went to $19.99 a month or $179.99 a year, about double, with annual plans renewing at that price from February 20, 2026, and Descript's blog says CapCut's auto captions now need Pro. What CapCut's free plan includes varies by device and region. Here the SRT, the VTT and an MP4 up to 3 minutes are free.
Why $5 here, when a CapCut project conversion is $9?
They're different jobs. A captioned video ($5) is new captions for one video you made, and its CapCut project is a fresh one with the video and the captions in it. A CapCut project conversion ($9) moves an edit you've already built, with all its clips, into or out of CapCut. One doesn't cover the other, so you never pay twice for the same thing.
Caption your next video
A video up to 3 minutes is free, with a small mark in the corner, and so are its SRT and VTT. Pay only when you want a longer video, no mark, or the captions in your editor.
Check names and spellings before you post.
