Drag a video file into the box, paste a YouTube link, or pull it from Google Drive. MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, MP3 and WAV are supported, so the video upload takes seconds and covers all major video formats. Upload video from a laptop or a phone - the flow is the same, and the common video formats are all there.

Pick the language and press translate. Rask AI transcribes the audio, separates each voice from the background mix, breaks the speech into readable lines, and will generate subtitles that match the spoken dialogue segment by segment. The auto subtitles arrive with the timings already set, so there is nothing to line up by hand before you look at them, and you can generate subtitles for another language from the same project later. Select the desired language and press translate

Once you have finished editing, apply the changes and export. Download subtitles as an SRT file, or take the video with subtitles burned into the picture - whichever the platform you publish on expects. You can download subtitle files as often as you like: the project stays in your account, so you can edit subtitles again next week and export a new version of the video.
A translation is almost never the same length as the original sentence, and that is where most auto subtitles fall apart. In the subtitle editor the original and the translation sit side by side, so you can rewrite a phrase, pick one of the AI's translation alternatives, split a subtitle line, and manually adjust the timestamps over the waveform until the text lines up with the speech. Reading speed stays comfortable and the subtitles appear when the speaker actually starts talking. The online subtitle editor keeps the video, the subtitles, and the timeline on one screen, so you never lose your place in a long clip.
Subtitles are what keeps a muted viewer watching, but only when they read well. Add or change a phrase to match your content, fix a name the AI misheard, and correct speaker names so a two-person interview reads like a script. Everything is fully editable: you edit subtitles the way you would edit a document, and the preview player updates with the CC track switched on so you can watch the result before you export. Video captions built this way carry your names, your product terms, and your punctuation instead of the generic guesswork of auto generated captions.
Even the best AI misreads a technical term now and then. Rask AI lets you fix it in seconds instead of rebuilding the whole subtitle file: correct a word, adjust timing, fine tune the split, and re-export. One workflow covers transcription, translation, corrections, subtitles, and even a dubbed voice track - no jumping between three apps to add subtitles to video, and no video editor to learn. Add subtitles to video once and the same project gives you the subtitles for every platform you publish on, free to re-export as many times as you need. For a channel publishing weekly, that is the difference between captions on one video and captions on all of them.

Our tool offers flexibility in adding subtitles to video content for different platforms. Whether you are a content creator who wants to add subtitles to a video on Facebook, or a corporation that needs to add captions to a promotional clip, it takes just a few clicks: upload your video, press translate, download subtitles. Export the subtitled video with the captions burned in for social media videos, or keep an SRT file for the platforms that let viewers switch captions off. Video subtitles in a second language cost you one more click, not a second edit. Most people scroll with the sound off, so video subtitles are what keeps them watching to the end - and subtitles in a second language open the same clip to a global audience without a reshoot.

The versatility of our tool lets you work with various video files and subtitle files, including srt files. You can upload the video file directly or paste a link, depending on your needs. Whether you want to add subtitles manually, edit what the AI wrote, or take the automatic subtitles as they come, it is all doable from a browser on any device, and the closed captions travel with the video wherever your viewers watch it. Product demos, webinars, onboarding decks, and sales calls all become searchable once the subtitles are attached, and search engines index that text along with the page. Share the project with a colleague for review instead of mailing files back and forth. The subtitles play on all the major video platforms - YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, and every social network that accepts a subtitle file.

Incorporating subtitles into your video not only aids understanding, it adds a layer of professionalism. For educators and training teams, our tool can create subtitles, burn subtitles into the frame, and refine the captions to match the spoken dialogue. It is more than just text on the screen: subtitles make videos accessible to hard of hearing viewers, help international students follow a lecture in a second language, and let everyone read at their own pace. Closed captions make the content accessible to anyone who cannot use the audio at all. Add subtitles to video lessons once and the captions stay with the course: a whole module can go through the same flow so the wording stays consistent from lesson to lesson, and when you need to edit the video manually - a definition, a formula, a term nobody outside the field would know - the editor gives you the room.
Yes. Rask AI runs in a browser, so you can upload your video, generate subtitles, and download subtitles without installing anything. The interface is the same one you get on desktop, and the video upload works from the phone's own library.
Both. The AI subtitle generator writes the first draft automatically; after that you can add subtitles manually, retype a line, or upload an existing SRT file of your own and work from that instead. Most people let the subtitle generator produce the auto subtitles and then spend two minutes on a final read.
Export the video with hardcoded subtitles and upload it straight to Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or Facebook. For YouTube and other platforms that accept caption files, download subtitles as SRT and attach them to the upload - that way viewers can switch them on or off. Add subtitles to video before you post and the clip works muted from the first second.
Hardcoded subtitles are permanently embedded into the video frames: they always show, and they survive any re-upload. Softcoded subtitles travel as a separate subtitle file, so viewers can turn them off or pick another language. Rask AI gives you both at export: burn subtitles directly into the picture, or keep the SRT on its own and let the platform handle the closed captions.
SRT. It is the format almost every player, platform, and app accepts, and it is what the subtitle generator writes. If you would rather not manage a separate file at all, export the video with the subtitles already in the picture.
Accuracy comes down to the audio. Rask AI separates each voice from the background mix before writing anything down, so clean speech gives you accurate subtitles straight away; crosstalk, heavy noise, and strong accents usually need a short pass in the subtitle editor before you export.
Yes - you can translate subtitles into 135+ languages and keep the original timings, so one set of subtitles becomes a dozen. Each language version keeps its own caption files, and the subtitle text stays open for changes in every one of them.
Paste the YouTube link, let Rask AI transcribe it, and download subtitles as SRT. Upload that file in YouTube Studio and your video becomes readable for search engines as well as for people watching with the sound off. Your own subtitles always beat the ones YouTube generates for you.
The free tier is completely free for seven days and covers three videos, subtitling the first minute of each - enough to check the quality on your first video before you pick a plan. No credit card required, and the free subtitle generator runs on the same engine as the paid plans, so what you see in the trial is what you get.
Up to five hours. Longer videos are processed in the background, so you can start the job, close the tab, and come back when the subtitles are ready. A five-minute clip and a two-hour webinar go through the same free flow.
Yes. Choose the original language as the target and Rask AI writes the captions without translating them - useful for accessibility and SEO. Add translated subtitles on top whenever you need them, and edit any of them in the same editor.
Related tools sit in the same workspace: translate the video, dub it with a cloned voice, or lip-sync the result so the speaker's mouth matches the new audio. The subtitles you just edited feed all of it, and you are free to edit them again afterwards - the free trial covers the whole flow, not a cut-down version of it.
