Your Video Stays on Your Device
Most online subtitle tools upload your entire video to their servers. SnapSubtitles sends the audio track, never the video.
Audio-Only Transcription
The editor extracts a compressed audio track and sends only that to the speech-to-text service. Your visual content stays private.
No Cloud Storage
There is no server-side file storage. When you close the tab, the video is gone from memory. Captions are saved locally in your browser until you clear them.
How to Create Subtitles in 4 Steps
You go from raw footage to a subtitled video in four steps. Nothing to install, and your video never goes to a server.
Upload
Drop your video into the browser editor, or click to browse. MP4, WebM, and MOV all work. Video frames stay on your device.
Transcribe
We transcribe your audio and return word-level timing. Auto-detection covers dozens of languages.
Edit
Fix any word, adjust start and end times to the millisecond, split or merge caption cues, and switch between 30 built-in styles. Changes appear instantly on the video preview.
Export
Download a captioned MP4 rendered locally in Chrome, Edge, or Safari, or export SRT and VTT subtitle files. Downloads use video minutes and never carry a watermark.

Built for Video Caption Workflows
Whether you publish daily or once a quarter, it fits into your process.
YouTube Creators
Captions keep viewers reading when they watch on mute, and they open your videos to people who do not speak your language natively. Export a captioned MP4, or download an SRT for YouTube Studio.
Educators and Course Creators
Make lectures and tutorials accessible. Word-timed captions help deaf and hard-of-hearing students, and they help non-native speakers follow along.
Social Media Marketers
Caption ads, Reels, and TikTok clips. The Bold and Karaoke styles are built for feeds that autoplay on mute.
