CapCut subtitles, as a free SRT
CapCut imports SRT files in its desktop version and on the web, and turns each subtitle into text you can edit and style. Upload your video here, download the SRT and bring it into your project.
Drop your audio or video here, or choose a file
MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG and OPUS (WhatsApp voice notes), MP4, MOV, WEBM… Up to 200 MB.
Free, no account needed: the first 10 minutes of each file, 3 a day. The file is deleted when it’s done and the result after 24 hours.
Where you can import it
In CapCut for desktop and CapCut on the web. The mobile app doesn’t import subtitle files: import it on desktop or the web and open the project on your phone if you sync it with CapCut’s cloud.
Which format to use
SRT, saved as UTF-8 so accented characters display properly. That’s exactly what you download here. VTT isn’t the format CapCut uses to import subtitles.

Frequently asked questions
Can I import the SRT on my phone?
No. CapCut’s mobile app doesn’t import subtitle files. Do it on desktop or the web.
Is it useful for TikTok or Instagram?
Yes. As those platforms don’t let you upload subtitle files, importing the SRT into CapCut and exporting the video with them is a good way to post it subtitled.
Why not use CapCut’s automatic captions?
You can. Echo gives you another option: transcription with your data in the European Union and breaks that follow industry rules. With a free account, you also get the video with burned-in subtitles without going through an editor.
