Burn subtitles into a video free, no watermark

A .srt file only works when the player supports it and the viewer switches it on. Social apps mostly don't: Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp play the video as-is, and most muted feeds scroll straight past anything without text. Burning the words into the frames means they are simply part of the video — nothing to enable, nothing to lose on upload.

The usual catch with free tools is the exit: you style everything, press export, and the download comes out stamped with a logo or capped at ten minutes unless you pay. Here the export is the same video you'd get on a paid plan: your full video, your subtitles, no stamp.

Upload your video with the clean-or-subtitled option ticked. The speech is transcribed automatically — the same engine that does our transcripts — and you get the text first, so you can check it before anything is rendered.

1. Upload the video (tick ‘also make a clean or subtitled version’).
2. Check the transcript — fix anything the audio made ambiguous.
3. Pick a style: classic white, bold social-style, or minimal.
4. Press burn. Roughly a minute per ten minutes of video, and the MP4 download appears on the page.

Nothing, for the things that matter: no watermark, no account, no trial that expires. Free covers files up to 60 minutes — most tools cap free burns at ten. If you work with very long recordings, the €5 month pass raises the limit to four hours and adds the pro extras across all our tools.
