About this subtitle and SRT maker

Subtitles are the difference between a video that gets watched on mute and one that gets scrolled past. Most social viewing happens with the sound off, and an SRT file is what YouTube, LinkedIn, Premiere and every serious player expect.

This is a hand-written caption editor rather than an automatic transcriber, which means it is exact. You add a caption at the playhead, type what was said, and adjust the in and out times until they match. The caption appears over the video as it plays, so you can check the timing rather than guess it.

You can also import an SRT you already have — from a transcription service, an old edit, or a colleague — and use this to fix the wording or shift every line at once when the audio is out of sync. Export gives you a standards-compliant .srt or .vtt, which uploads directly to YouTube's subtitle screen.

Questions people ask

Does this burn the subtitles into the video?

No. It produces a separate subtitle file, which is what YouTube and most players want, and what lets viewers turn captions on and off.

How do I add the SRT to YouTube?

In YouTube Studio, open the video, go to Subtitles, choose your language and select Upload file, then pick “With timing” and choose the .srt.

Are my captions saved if I close the tab?

No — nothing is stored on a server or in the browser. Export the file before you leave the page.
