Subtitles for LinkedIn videos, as a free SRT
LinkedIn lets you add subtitles to a video if you upload an SRT file when posting from a computer. Here you create it for free, with no account. Many LinkedIn videos are watched without sound, so subtitles make a real difference.
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.
What LinkedIn accepts
LinkedIn asks for an SRT file, added on the desktop website while you prepare the post. It can’t be attached from the mobile app. The subtitles show once the video has finished processing.
Subtitles that read well
Echo cuts subtitles to industry rules: two lines of 42 characters at most, between 1 and 7 seconds each, and breaks at the end of sentences or when the speaker changes. With a free account you correct them in the editor before downloading.

Frequently asked questions
Does LinkedIn accept VTT?
LinkedIn asks for SRT. Download the SRT from this page: it has the same text and the same timing.
Can I add them from my phone?
No. LinkedIn only lets you attach the subtitle file on the desktop website.
What if I want them to show all the time?
With a free Echo account you create the video with burned-in subtitles: they show everywhere, even if the viewer has subtitles turned off.
