Add captions to your video by typing what you want

There is no caption panel to find. You describe what you want in the chat, and the plan shows it before anything renders. Requests that work:

• “Add captions”, for the default bold style.
• “Add pop captions”, for big colorful words.
• “Make the captions bigger”, or smaller, at any point.
• “Boxed captions, large”, to name a style and a size together.
• The Captions button in the editor shows every style as a preview tile; tap one and it asks for that look.

Captions are one step in the same plan as your cuts, so you can ask for “remove the ums and add captions” in one sentence.

• Pop: big rounded ALL CAPS words, two to four at a time, each word in its own bright color (blue, yellow, green, coral) with a thick dark outline so it reads on any background.
• Highlighter: the whole line on screen with the word being spoken lit in a colored box, karaoke style.
• Boss: the whole line with one key word in lime, picked by a simple rule (the longest word that is not a common filler word).
• Bold: heavy white text with a dark outline, at the bottom of the frame.
• Clean: lighter white text with a soft shadow, for a quieter look.
• Boxed: white text on a dark box, the easiest to read over busy footage.

Switching style later does not mean starting over. Ask again and the plan updates; your original video is never changed.

Open Captions in the top menu, choose a style and a size, then upload your video, on every plan. When it is ready the captions are already on, because the look you picked was your instruction. Check the preview and download. In the editor, the Caption style button changes the look anytime, and Remove or Undo takes it off.

Every style comes in three sizes, set independently of the look. Say “bigger captions” for a phone-first video, or “smaller” if the picture needs room. Sizes scale with the video, so the same choice works in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1.

• Burned in: the captions are part of the exported picture, so they show on any platform and any player.
• SRT file: a plain subtitle file you upload next to the video, for platforms that let viewers switch captions on and off.

The SRT file and the transcript download are on every plan, including Free. Captions on the video are on every plan too.

Captions follow the language you speak: they show what was said, in the same language and script. English is fully supported. Hindi and Urdu captions are tested and display correctly. Other languages are available in beta, so check the result before you publish.

Saytrim does not translate captions into another language.

The plan lists the caption step with its style and size. Nothing renders until you approve, and you can fix the wording of a name or term from your word list. Changing the style or size and exporting again never costs extra minutes.
