Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Your video stays in your browser. Only the audio is sent for transcription. The finished captioned video is rendered locally and is not uploaded.

How is this different from a regular subtitle generator?

Every word has its own timestamp, not just whole lines. That is what keeps Word Pop, Karaoke, and other animated styles locked to the exact word being spoken.

Can I export for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Export at 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9, or all three in one pass. Safe-zone guides show where each platform paints its own buttons so captions stay visible.

Can I download SRT or VTT files?

Yes. Download standard SRT or VTT subtitle files alongside the captioned video.

Which caption styles are included?

Eight styles ship today: Word Pop, Bounce In, Karaoke, Typewriter, Neon Glow, Badge Box, Heavy Impact, Clean Minimal. Each one supports custom typography, outline, shadow, spacing, and colours.

How long can my video be?

Videos up to 5 minutes are supported (up to 100MB file size). Trim longer clips before uploading.
