Subtitle Editor

Edit SRT and VTT Captions Online.

Loading…

Automatic captions get names wrong and split sentences in odd places. Open the file here and each line appears with its start time, end time and text, all editable.

Load the video beside it to check your work: the current line is shown over the picture, "Now" stamps a time from the playhead, and every line can be played on its own. Lines that overlap, or carry too much text to read in their time, are flagged.

How to use the Subtitle Editor tool

  1. Open a subtitle file, paste one, or start empty.
  2. Correct the text and times; add, split, join or delete lines.
  3. Download the result as SRT or VTT.
  • Correcting auto-generated captions
  • Writing subtitles for a short video from scratch
  • Shifting a subtitle file that runs early or late

Tips for the best result

  • Keep lines under 42 characters and at most two lines per subtitle.
  • If subtitles drift further off as the film goes on, use the speed factor instead of a shift.

How do I fix subtitles that are two seconds late?
