Add captions, subtitles, titles, and text overlays to any video — automatically or manually. Works in your browser. No software to install, no editing experience needed.
Upload the video file you want to add text to. Supports common formats including MP4 and MOV. You can also use a video you already created in CrePal — no need to export and re-upload.
Select auto-generated captions, manually written subtitles or titles, or a text overlay. Choose font, size, color, and position — or accept the defaults.
Play through the video to check timing and placement. Edit individual caption lines if needed. Export with text burned in — ready to post or continue editing.
Auto-generate captions synced to spoken audio — no manual timecoding. Edit any line before export. Most social viewers watch without sound; captions keep your message clear on mute.
Add manually written subtitles for full control over timing and text — useful for translations, stylized text, or videos without a clear voiceover track.
Add opening titles, section headers between scenes, or a closing card — over video or on a solid/blurred background panel.
Place text anywhere on the frame: speaker name, product label, CTA, or URL — without affecting the underlying clip.
Videos with captions consistently outperform uncaptioned videos on social platforms. Adding captions online takes minutes.
Subtitles help viewers who are hard of hearing, watching in a second language, or in a noisy environment.
A lower-third, product label, or closing CTA gives viewers information without relying on narration.
Whether you're adding captions to a TikTok clip, subtitles to a YouTube tutorial, or a title card to a product ad — text exports in the same file format as your original. Burn captions into the video so they display on every platform. Already creating in CrePal? Connect directly after the AI video creator or image to video finishes a clip.
