Understand first
How to add subtitles to a video online: everything you need to know
Subtitles are no longer just text at the bottom of the screen: they decide whether someone watches your video or scrolls past it. With Klipa you can add subtitles to a video online, for free, without installing any software: the transcription is automatic, the subtitles are synced word by word, and you choose their style before burning them in.
Why add subtitles to your videos?
Most social videos are watched with the sound off — without subtitles, your message simply never lands. Readable subtitles hold the viewer in the first seconds, make your video accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing people, and help platforms understand what your content is about. Adding subtitles is a matter of reach, accessibility and visibility all at once.
Animated subtitles for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts
Animated subtitles — the spoken word lighting up, changing colour or popping — have become the signature of short videos that break through. Klipa offers more than 20 animated subtitle styles, from word-by-word karaoke to MrBeast, neon, Hormozi or minimal captions. Every subtitle style previews live on your own video: what you see is exactly what gets burned in.
Burned-in subtitles or an SRT file: which should you choose?
There are two ways to add subtitles to a video. A subtitle file (SRT or VTT) stays separate: viewers can switch the subtitles on or off, which is ideal for YouTube. Burned-in subtitles are baked into the pixels of the image: they show up everywhere, on every platform, with no setting to touch. Klipa does both — it burns animated subtitles into the video, and still hands you the SRT or VTT file if you need it.
Fine-tune fonts, colours and timing
Once the transcription is done, the subtitle workshop lets you set everything: the font among twelve popular typefaces, the size and position of the subtitles, the text colour and the highlight colour of the spoken word. You can also fix the subtitle text line by line — a misheard name, a sentence to shorten — and adjust the timing before burning the subtitles in for good.

How it works
How to add subtitles to a video in 3 steps
Step 1
Upload the video to subtitle
Drop your MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV file. Automatic transcription detects the spoken language among 100+ languages and generates the subtitles — you type nothing.
Step 2
Choose your subtitle style
Browse the 21 animated subtitle styles and watch them render live on your video. Adjust the font, size, position and colours of your subtitles until the result feels right.
Step 3
Download your subtitled video
The subtitles are burned into the video, ready to publish. You can also download your subtitles as SRT or VTT to reuse them elsewhere.

Real cases
When to add subtitles to a video
Hook viewers on short-form video
On short-form video, animated subtitles grab attention within three seconds. An energetic subtitle style — MrBeast, karaoke, Hormozi — holds a viewer who is scrolling with the sound off.
Subtitles for training and course videos
Online courses, tutorials, webinars: clear subtitles make your content understandable in noisy places and accessible to hard-of-hearing viewers. A clean subtitle style is enough here.
Subtitles to reach an international audience
Transcription recognises 100+ languages: you can add subtitles to a video in English, Arabic, Spanish… then export the SRT file to have your subtitles translated.
Frequently asked
Adding subtitles to a video — frequently asked questions
How do I add subtitles to a video for free?
Upload your video, let automatic transcription generate the subtitles, pick a style, then burn them in. Burning uses your credits based on the video's length, and the subtitled video is delivered clean, with no logo.
Which animated subtitle styles are available?
More than 20 subtitle styles: word-by-word karaoke, MrBeast, Hormozi, neon, glitch, minimal, cinematic and more. Every subtitle style is free to try on your video before burning.
Can I customise the font and colour of the subtitles?
Yes. You choose the font among twelve (Montserrat, Poppins, Bangers, Impact…), the size and position of the subtitles, the text colour and the highlight colour of the spoken word.
Are the subtitles burned permanently into the video?
Yes: the subtitles are baked into the pixels. They show on every platform, with no separate file and nothing for the viewer to switch on.
Can I correct the subtitle text before burning?
Yes. The built-in editor shows every subtitle line: fix a misheard word, adjust the timing, delete or add a line, then burn.
How long does it take to add subtitles to a video?
Transcription takes a few dozen seconds. Burning the subtitles in takes about 2–4 minutes for a 5-minute video, depending on the style.
Do subtitles work in Arabic and other right-to-left languages?
Yes. Subtitles display correctly in Arabic, Hebrew and Persian. Automatic transcription recognises 100+ languages.
What is the difference between an SRT file and burned-in subtitles?
An SRT file stays separate from the video: viewers can turn the subtitles on or off. Burned-in subtitles are baked into the image and always show. Klipa produces both.
Can I download my subtitles as SRT or VTT?
Yes. Once transcription is done, your subtitles download as SRT or VTT alongside the subtitled video — handy for YouTube, or to have your subtitles translated later.
Do I need an account to add subtitles to a video?
Yes, a free account. Transcription, trying styles and burning them in all call on AI: they need an account, whose granted credits cover your first exports. The account also saves your subtitle presets.
