Burn subtitles into video permanently so they show on any player
Meicut's subtitle tool burns an SRT, ASS or VTT file permanently into the picture, so the captions show on any player or platform without a separate file. Upload the video and the subtitle file, start processing, and download the captioned video.
The captions appear exactly as timed in your file. Burning in is the reliable way to publish: hardcoded subtitles cannot be switched off, lost, or stripped by a platform.

Common subtitling needs
Caption videos for silent autoplay
Most social feeds start videos muted. Burned-in captions keep viewers watching because the message stays readable with the sound off.
Publish subtitles that cannot be lost
Separate subtitle files get stripped by re-uploads and ignored by some platforms. Hardcoded captions are part of the picture: they survive every re-share and play everywhere.
Add a translation track to a clip
A translated SRT over the original audio is the fastest way to reach a second audience. Export once and the translation is visible on any device.
Caption interviews and talking-head videos
Spoken content needs text for noisy environments and hearing-impaired viewers. Time the SRT in your editor of choice, then burn it in here.
Subtitle a lecture or course video
Students scrub and rewatch, and captions make the content easy to follow at any speed. Upload the video and its SRT, export, and share a single file.
Burned-in or soft subtitles
Burned-in (this tool)
The captions become part of the picture. They show on every player, survive re-uploads, and cannot be switched off. The right choice for publishing to social platforms and messaging apps.
Soft subtitles
A separate track the viewer can toggle on and off. Flexible for multilingual releases, but the subtitle file must travel with the video and some platforms ignore it. This tool produces the burned-in kind.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add subtitles to a video?
Upload your video, then upload a subtitle file in SRT, ASS or VTT format. Start processing and download the video with the subtitles burned into the picture.
Are the subtitles burned into the video?
Yes. The subtitles are rendered permanently into the picture (hardcoded), so they show up on every device, player and social platform without needing a separate subtitle file.
What subtitle formats are supported?
You can upload subtitle files in SRT, ASS or VTT format. The subtitles are embedded with the timing from your file, so they appear at exactly the right moments.
Will the subtitles play on any device?
Yes. Because the captions are burned into the picture, they behave like any other part of the video: any device, player or app that can play the video shows them.
Do I need to create the subtitle file myself?
Yes. You provide the SRT, ASS or VTT file with the text and timing. Most video editors and many transcription tools can generate one from your footage.
What happens to my uploaded files?
Files are uploaded for processing, then expire and are deleted according to your account rules.
