How to Burn Subtitles to Video

What are Burned-in Subtitles?

Burned-in subtitles (also called "hard subtitles") are permanently embedded into your video. Unlike soft subtitles that can be turned on/off, burned subtitles become part of the video itself and will always display.

When to Use Burned Subtitles

  • Social Media: Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter often require burned subtitles
  • Accessibility: Ensure everyone can understand your content, even without audio
  • Compatibility: Some devices or players don't support external subtitle files
  • Professional Look: Customize subtitle styling to match your brand

How to Use This Tool

  1. Upload your video file (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM supported)
  2. Upload your subtitle file in SRT format
  3. Customize subtitle appearance (font, size, color, position)
  4. Click "Burn Subtitles" to process
  5. Download your video with burned-in subtitles

Subtitle File Format (SRT)

Privacy & Security

All subtitle burning happens directly in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm. Your videos and subtitle files never leave your device. Everything is processed locally for maximum privacy.

Disclaimer: Burning subtitles is permanent and cannot be undone. We recommend keeping a copy of your original video without subtitles.
