Can you really auto caption videos for free?

Yes. Video Caption Generator lets you auto caption a video with AI for free before you pay anything. Upload a clip up to 60 seconds and our AI will transcribe it, time every word and show it on your video with a professional caption style.

Unlike many free caption tools, there is no watermark-filled demo and no forced sign-up just to see the result. You can try every caption style and edit the text freely.

If you have been searching for auto caption free tools, or an auto caption AI free option that works on your own footage, this is it: real AI transcription and word-level timing on your own video before you spend anything.

When you are happy with the result, a paid plan lets you export the captioned video and SRT or VTT subtitle files. Plans start at $12 a month and can be cancelled anytime.
