Frequently Asked Questions

Which subtitle formats are supported?

SRT and WebVTT (.vtt) files are supported. ASS/SSA files need to be converted to SRT first.

Will the video lose quality?

The output keeps your original resolution. The video is re-encoded once to draw the subtitles onto each frame.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Your file never leaves your device — processing runs locally in the browser using WebCodecs.

Do I need subtitles first?

Yes. If you don't have a subtitle file yet, use the Video to SRT tool to generate one from your video with AI.
