Auto captions
Generate auto captions for videos online with Clipzy. Editable subtitles tuned for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, podcasts, lessons, and talking-head clips with credit-visible rendering and 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9 export presets.
Most short-form watch-time on Reels, Shorts, and TikTok happens on muted feeds. Clipzy captions are designed to make spoken content readable in vertical formats where the viewer decides in three seconds whether to keep watching, and the captions are the only signal they get.
Captions work best when they are tied to the rest of the production flow. Clipzy keeps caption generation close to resizing, trimming, audio cleanup, and export so creators do not have to rebuild the same clip in multiple tools.
The public workflow is designed around clear plan limits, watermark behavior, retention windows, and credits. That makes captioning easier to budget when the same team publishes clips every week.
| Workflow step | What Clipzy handles | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Upload | MP4 / MOV source up to your plan's per-file limit | Bring camera, screen, or phone footage in without re-encoding first. |
| AI cleanup | Background removal, silence trimming, voice enhancement | The repetitive pre-edit work happens in one queue instead of three tools. |
| Captions | Auto-generated, social-format captions you can edit before export | Most short-form watch-time on Reels, Shorts, and TikTok happens muted. |
| Resize | 1:1, 9:16, 16:9 export presets | One source clip turns into platform-specific deliverables in one pass. |
| Export | Credit-aware render with signed download links | You see processing cost before the queue runs and outputs do not vanish. |
Clipzy auto captions transcribe English clearly across most accents and most consumer microphones. Heavy background music, overlapping speakers, and very strong accents reduce accuracy — that's true for every auto-caption tool, including the dedicated transcript-based editors. Clipzy is designed to make the post-edit fast: the generated captions land in an editable list so you can fix any wrong word in seconds before the render.
Burned-in captions live inside the rendered MP4 itself — they always display, always look the same, and they're the right choice for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts where viewers can't toggle subtitles off. Sidecar SRT files are separate text files that the platform displays on top of the video — that's the right choice for YouTube long-form and corporate video where viewers expect to toggle subtitles. Clipzy supports both export modes.
Three styles cover most short-form content: a bold center-screen single-line for hook-driven Reels, a word-by-word highlight (one or two words at a time) for high-retention TikTok content, and a multi-line bottom-third caption for long-form podcast clips and tutorials. Clipzy ships these as presets so you don't have to design caption styling from scratch every render.
For long-form podcast clips and recorded lessons, captions help retention and accessibility. Clipzy generates captions for the full clip and lets you trim them to highlight reels for social channels. The workflow pairs naturally with the silence remover so dead air doesn't ship with the captions.
Concise answers to the questions creators ask before switching tools.
No. Clipzy runs entirely in the browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chromebook. Sign up, upload an MP4 or MOV, and process in the same tab.
Clipzy accepts common creator formats including MP4 and MOV. Maximum file size depends on plan tier — see the pricing page for current limits.
Each job (caption, background remove, silence remove, voice clean, render) shows an estimated credit cost before processing. Credits are reserved during the job and reconciled after completion. Failed jobs refund the reservation.
No watermark is added on trial renders. Confirm watermark behavior for your current plan on the pricing page.
Yes. After the AI prep finishes the clip continues in Clipzy's timeline editor for fine-tuning, layering, audio mixing, and final export.
