Canonical page: https://www.socialfaktory.com/tools/subtitle-generator

Upload a video up to 5 minutes and download accurate subtitles as SRT, VTT or plain text. No watermark, no signup. Your file is deleted after processing and results expire after 1 hour.

## How it works

1. **Upload your video**: Drop in any video up to 5 minutes and 250 MB. MP4, MOV and WebM all work.
2. **We transcribe the speech**: Speech recognition turns the audio into accurately timed subtitle segments, usually in under a minute.
3. **Download your subtitles**: Save the result as .srt for editing software, .vtt for web players, or plain .txt for repurposing.

## What you get

- No watermark and no signup. Upload, wait a minute, download your subtitles.
- Three formats from one upload: SRT, VTT and a plain text transcript.
- Accurate timestamps that drop straight into any video editor or web player.
- Private by design. Files are deleted after processing and results expire after 1 hour.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is this subtitle generator really free?

Yes. You can generate subtitles for videos up to 5 minutes without creating an account, and there is no watermark on anything you download.

### Which subtitle formats can I download?

Every run produces three files: an .srt for video editors, a .vtt for web video players, and a plain .txt transcript you can reuse in posts or descriptions.

### What happens to my video after processing?

The file is deleted from our servers right after the subtitles are generated, and the result expires one hour later. We never reuse your uploads.

### Why was my video rejected?

The free tool accepts videos up to 5 minutes and 250 MB that contain spoken audio. If your video is longer, trim it first, or create a SocialFaktory account to caption full-length videos.
