Why use SRT files?

SRT is the universal subtitle format: YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, VLC, and most editors accept it. A sidecar SRT keeps subtitles toggleable instead of burned in, which viewers and platforms prefer.

How it works

  1. Upload your video.
  2. Generate the transcript — Captiq builds timed cues automatically.
  3. Download the .srt, or edit first and then download.

Features

  • Standards-compliant SRT output (cue numbering, timestamps, UTF-8)
  • Automatic line-length control for readability
  • Edit text and timing before downloading
  • Batch-generate SRTs for whole series
  • Also exports VTT and TXT

Who it is for

YouTubers uploading captions, archivists documenting footage, and teams standardizing subtitle delivery.
