Free subtitle generator: auto subtitles for any video

Kool Captions generates subtitles for your video automatically and for free. Get a plain .srt file for YouTube or your editor, or subtitles burned into a 9:16 video for Reels and Shorts, timed to every word. The SRT generator needs no account; the full editor gives you 10 minutes of transcription free.

Two ways to get subtitles

An .srt file

The free SRT generator turns a short clip into a subtitle file with no sign-up. Upload it to YouTube Studio or drop it into Premiere, CapCut or DaVinci Resolve.

Subtitles burned into the video

The editor styles the subtitles (100+ looks), lets you fix any word, and exports a finished video at 720p free, or 1080p and 4K with a package.

How it works

  1. Upload your video and pick its language.
  2. Check the words. Each one is timed to your voice; fix anything in a tap.
  3. Download the .srt, the captioned video, or both.
