Once you've added subtitles to your content, you may want to make a few edits for accuracy and polish. Before, this used to be a headache. Kapwing's subtitle editor makes it easy. With Kapwing, you can edit subtitles and transcripts, apply effects, change fonts, and so much more. There's no software or plugins to download—you can transcribe videos and edit your subtitles online all from the Kapwing editor.
So, why would you edit your subtitles? You may want to fix small mistakes, change the timing, or simply adjust how subtitles look in your video. You can automatically create subtitles in Kapwing, and then edit every aspect to match or brand or perfect the small details. All you need to do is upload your video to our editor, select 'Auto subtitles', and then edit the subtitles like you would a text document from the same screen. You can also apply all sorts of built-in visual design effects and even upload custom fonts to tailor-fit your subtitles to your video or the rest of your brand. Once you're done editing, export and download your subtitles to popular file types like SRT, VTT, and TXT. Need to hardcode your subtitles? You can do that, too.
Fine-tune your subtitles text, design, and position within your videos. Kapwing includes professional fonts and built-in subtitle styles—like colors and backgrounds—in our video studio. There's a whole lot more: Apply scroll-stopping animations and transitions to your subtitles so they look professionally made. You can even apply a custom Brand Kit to your subtitles so they always match your brand colors and styles. Ensure your subtitles are accessible and easily read with line height and spacing edits, background opacity changer, and text outlines.
Kapwing's AI-powered subtitler can generate ready-to-edit transcripts in a single click. You'll never have to transcribe video by hand again. Just upload a video, head over to the 'Subtitles' section in the left sidebar, and click on the 'Auto subtitles' tool. Kapwing's automatically generated subtitles are fast and precise; many are usable after the first click. Like all auto-transcript tools, you may need to correct a few mistakes. Fortunately, editing subtitles is easy with Kapwing and can be done right from the editor—just like a text document.
Need to edit your subtitles to appear in multiple languages? Kapwing's one-click video translator lets you translate subtitles and transcripts to and from over 60 different languages. Select your starting language or let Kapwing detect the spoken language in any video, then choose which language to translate your subtitles to—Kapwing will handle the rest. Our subtitle translator works with any video, our automatically generated subtitles, or subtitle files you've manually uploaded to Kapwing.
Kapwing's subtitle editor works online without any downloads—you can generate and edit subtitles right from your browser. We also support all popular formats for video, like MOV and MP4. Once you've created and tweaked your subtitles to your liking, Kapwing also lets you export and download your subtitle files in the most commonly used formats of SRT, VTT, and TXT. And if you'd prefer to hardcode subtitles into your video, that's easily done inside the Kapwing editor.
