What is the difference between soft subtitles and hard subtitles?

Soft subtitles are separate timed text files (SRT or VTT) that players can turn on or off. Hard subtitles (hardsubs) are permanently burned into the video image. Video Subtitle Translator generates soft subtitles only.

Can I embed or burn subtitles into the video?

No. This product exports soft SRT/VTT files only. If you need burned-in captions, import the file into CapCut, Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve and render hardsubs there.

Do you support bilingual subtitles on the video?

We deliver a single soft subtitle track for your chosen target language (or the original language). For bilingual on-screen text, export SRT/VTT and combine or style the tracks in your editor.

Can I upload a standalone SRT file to translate?

가능합니다. Subtitle Translator(/subtitle-translator)에서 SRT 또는 VTT를 업로드하고 타임스탬프를 유지한 채 번역한 뒤 소프트 자막을 다운로드하세요. 음성으로 자막을 생성할 때만 동영상이 필요합니다.

How do I generate an SRT file from a video?

Sign in with Google, upload your video on the homepage, open the workspace, choose source and target languages, click Translate, then download the SRT file. You can also download WebVTT (VTT) for HTML5 players.

Can I translate video subtitles to English or other languages?

Yes. Select English or another supported target language. The pipeline transcribes speech and produces timed soft subtitles for export in SRT or VTT.

Which video formats are supported?

Common browser-readable formats such as MP4, MOV, and WebM are supported. Your video must be 10 minutes or shorter and under 200 MB for the current product.

How long can my video be?

Videos up to 10 minutes are accepted. Longer files are rejected before upload so you can trim the clip first. This per-video limit also applies on the Unlimited plan.

Which languages can be transcribed and translated?

You can auto-detect the spoken language or pick from options including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Arabic, and Hindi. Target translation supports 40+ languages in the workspace — including Danish, Bengali, Persian, Tamil, Swahili, and more.

Yes. Generating subtitles requires a Google sign-in so we can attach credits or subscription access to your account and protect usage.

On Free, Lite, and Pay As You Go, each second of video costs 1 credit when speech transcription (Whisper) is required. Re-translating from a cached transcript does not charge credits. New users receive 600 free credits (~10 minutes). See Pricing for Lite, Unlimited, and pay-as-you-go options.

What is the Unlimited plan?

Unlimited is a monthly subscription. While it is active, Whisper runs do not deduct credits and your account shows Unlimited instead of a credit balance. Each uploaded video is still limited to 10 minutes and 200 MB. Cancel anytime; access continues until the end of the paid period.

What is the Lite plan?

Lite is a monthly subscription that grants 36,000 credits each billing month (about 10 hours). Unused Lite credits expire at month end and do not roll over to the next month.

Is this a free video subtitle generator?

New accounts get 600 free credits (about 10 minutes). Generation requires login. When free credits run out, you can buy pay-as-you-go credits or subscribe to Lite or Unlimited. There is no unlimited free plan.

Will subtitles sync with my video?

Yes. Cues include start and end timestamps so SRT/VTT tracks stay aligned with speech when loaded in YouTube, browsers, or editing software.

Can I edit the subtitles after download?

Absolutely. Soft subtitle files are plain text. Edit them in any SRT/VTT editor or inside your video editor before publishing.

Do you store my uploaded videos?

No. Privacy comes first — we do not keep your uploaded videos. Files are processed to generate subtitles and are not retained as a personal media library. See the Privacy Policy for details.

See video subtitle translation in action

Two short demos of popular language pairs: Japanese speech turned into English soft subtitles, and English speech turned into Spanish soft subtitles — both as timed tracks you can export as SRT or VTT.

Japanese video → English subtitles

A Japanese clip with timed English soft subtitles — speech is transcribed and translated so global viewers can follow along. Export SRT or VTT without burning text into the video.

English video → Spanish subtitles

An English clip with timed Spanish soft subtitles — ideal for reaching Spanish-speaking audiences on YouTube, courses, and social. Download and edit the track in your usual workflow.

What is a video subtitle translator?

A video subtitle translator converts spoken dialogue into readable on-screen text and can rewrite that text in another language. Unlike a simple transcript dump, a subtitle tool must keep timing cues so each line appears when the words are spoken.

People search for a video subtitle translator when they need to add subtitles to a video, auto generate SRT from video, or translate video subtitles into English or another language . This site focuses on that workflow: speech → timed soft subtitles → optional translation → SRT/VTT download.

Soft subtitles vs hard subtitles

Understanding soft vs hard subtitles helps you choose the right export for YouTube, clients, and editing apps. We specialize in soft subtitles so you keep full edit control.

Soft subtitles (SRT / VTT)

Separate timed text track — not painted into video pixels
Viewers can turn captions on or off in many players
Easy to edit, restyle, retime, or translate again
Best for YouTube uploads, accessibility, and client revisions

Hard subtitles (burned-in)

Text permanently rendered into the video image
Cannot be toggled off without re-exporting the video
Useful for social platforms that ignore external tracks
Create hardsubs later from our soft SRT/VTT if you need them

Who uses an automatic subtitle translator?

If you publish video and need readable captions — or multi-language localization — an automatic video subtitle translator saves hours of manual typing and cue placement.

YouTube creators & Shorts

Generate SRT files for YouTube upload, improve watch time with accurate captions, and translate clips such as Japanese → English for global audiences.

Course & tutorial makers

Add accessible soft subtitles to lessons, demos, and onboarding videos so learners can follow along with timed text.

Marketers & social teams

Localize product videos and ads: keep original speech text or export translated soft subtitles for campaigns and landing pages.

Podcasters with video

Convert talking-head or interview video into searchable timed transcripts and downloadable subtitle files.

Freelance editors

Kickstart a subtitle draft from the audio track, then refine cues in your NLE instead of starting from a blank timeline.

Small businesses

Publish accessible videos for customers without hiring a full localization vendor for every short clip.

SRT vs VTT: which subtitle format should you download?

Both SRT and WebVTT are soft subtitle formats. Pick the one your platform or editor expects — or download both from the workspace.

SRT (SubRip)

The most widely used subtitle file for YouTube, many NLEs, and freelance delivery. Simple numbered cues with timestamps and text. Choose SRT when someone asks for an “SRT subtitle file” or “caption file for upload.”

VTT (WebVTT)

Designed for HTML5 video and modern web players. Use VTT when embedding captions on a website, LMS, or browser-based player that expects WebVTT tracks.

Supported languages & popular pairs

Set a source language for better accuracy, or use auto detect when you are unsure. Output can remain in the original language or be translated into English or 40+ other languages as soft subtitles.

How to translate video subtitles online (step-by-step)

Follow this quick guide if you searched for “video subtitle translator,” “how to translate video subtitles to English,” “auto caption video online,” or “generate SRT from MP4.”

1. Prepare a clip under 10 minutes. Trim long recordings first. Clearer audio produces better speech recognition. On credit plans, Whisper costs 1 credit per second.
2. Sign in and upload. Log in with Google (new users get 600 free credits), then drag and drop your MP4/MOV/WebM into the upload zone.
3. Choose language settings. Pick the spoken language (or auto detect) and set your target — original, English, or another supported language.
4. Generate timed soft subtitles. Click Translate, then review cues on the right while previewing video on the left. We don’t store your upload.
5. Download SRT or VTT. Import the file into YouTube Studio, your website player, or editing software. Edit wording if needed before publish. Burn-in later only if a platform requires hardsubs.

Tip: soft subtitles keep your master video clean. If a platform requires burned-in captions, import the SRT into CapCut, Premiere, or Final Cut and render hardsubs as a final delivery step.

Why add soft subtitles and translated captions?

Soft subtitles are not only for accessibility — they also help discovery, retention, and international reach without re-encoding your master file.

Watch without sound — many social viewers scroll with audio muted; captions keep the message intact.
Accessibility — timed text helps deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers follow speech.
SEO & discoverability — searchable caption text can reinforce topics and keywords around your video content.
Global audience — translating into English or other languages opens non-English videos to a wider market without re-shooting.
Faster post-production — automatic cues reduce manual transcription time for editors and freelancers.
