Captions for every platform

Every platform puts its buttons and text in a different place. Pick yours to see where captions go and which export to use.

TikTok

Drop in your clip and ReelCaption writes the captions, with every word timed to the moment you say it. Fix anything it misheard, move the text clear of TikTok's buttons, and download an MP4 with the captions burned in.

Instagram Reels

Reels often play with the sound off in the feed. ReelCaption transcribes your Reel, times every word, and lets you style the captions to match your other posts before you export an MP4 with them burned in.

YouTube Shorts

Shorts play one after another and viewers swipe on fast. Burned-in captions put your words on screen from the first frame. ReelCaption transcribes the Short, times every word, and exports an MP4 ready to upload.

YouTube

YouTube gives you 2 options. Upload a subtitle file that viewers can switch on and off, or burn captions into the picture so they always show. ReelCaption makes both from one transcript.

LinkedIn

Videos in the LinkedIn feed start playing muted. Captions carry your point until someone turns the sound on. ReelCaption transcribes your video and keeps the captions plain and readable.

Facebook

Facebook videos start muted in the feed. Burned-in captions make the first seconds readable before anyone turns the sound on. ReelCaption transcribes your video or Reel and exports an MP4 with the captions drawn in.

X (Twitter)

Video on X starts muted in the timeline and often plays small. Large burned-in captions let people read your hook before they tap. ReelCaption transcribes the clip and exports an MP4 with the captions drawn in.

Instagram Stories

People tap through Stories fast, often with the sound off. Captions let them get your point before they tap forward. ReelCaption transcribes your Story clip and lets you place the captions inside the part of the frame Instagram leaves clear.

Snapchat

Snaps and Spotlight clips move fast, and viewers may not have the sound on. Captions get your message across before they swipe on. ReelCaption transcribes the clip and exports an MP4 with the captions drawn in, ready to post from your phone.

Podcast clips

A podcast clip is mostly talking, so the words are the content. ReelCaption transcribes the clip, times every word and burns in captions that follow the speaker. A good quote still lands with the sound off.

Online courses

Captions let students follow a lesson in a noisy room, a quiet library or without hearing the audio at all. ReelCaption transcribes your lesson and gives you a subtitle file for your course platform, burned-in captions, or both.

Webinars

A webinar replay with captions is easier to follow and easier to quote. ReelCaption transcribes the recording and gives you an .srt or .vtt for the full replay. Highlights you cut elsewhere can come back for burned-in captions.
