Frequently Asked Questions

Will the subtitles show on TikTok and Instagram?

Yes, when you burn them in. Burned-in subtitles are part of the picture, so they show on every platform and player — no caption upload needed.

Is a watermark added?

No. The exported video has no watermark.

Can I add subtitles in another language?

Yes. Translate the generated subtitles, then burn in the translation alone or both languages stacked.

How much does it cost?

Transcription uses AI and costs 1 credit per minute of video. New accounts get free credits, and there is no subscription.

Is my video uploaded?

Only a compressed audio track is uploaded for transcription. The video itself stays on your device.
