AI subtitle generator
AI subtitle generator with SRT, VTT and translation
By the Samsaam team · Updated
Need a subtitle file rather than styled captions? Samsaam transcribes your video, lets you correct it, and exports standard subtitle formats that YouTube, Vimeo, social platforms and video editors accept.
Translate the subtitles into another language and every line keeps its original start and end time, so the translation stays in sync however much the wording changes.
Export formats
| Format | Use it for |
|---|---|
| SRT | The universal subtitle file — YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve |
| VTT (WebVTT) | HTML5 video players and web embeds |
| ASS | Styled subtitles in players and tools that support Advanced SubStation Alpha |
| TXT / DOCX | Transcripts for blog posts, show notes and review |
| Burned-in video | Subtitles rendered into the picture — 1080p, or up to 4K on Creator and Team |
Subtitle file downloads and video exports are included in paid plans. The free plan lets you generate and preview.
Subtitles in the language — and script — your audience reads
Samsaam supports 90+ languages. For South Asian languages you can choose the native script or Roman letters — Urdu in Nastaliq or as Roman Urdu, Hindi in Devanagari or as Hinglish. See all supported languages.
Captions or subtitles?
In everyday use the words are interchangeable. Strictly, subtitles translate or transcribe dialogue for viewers who can hear, while closed captions also describe sounds for viewers who cannot. Samsaam transcribes speech; add sound descriptions such as [music] by editing the text if your audience needs them.
Frequently asked questions
Can I translate subtitles into another language?
Yes — metered in monthly translation minutes on each plan.
Does the SRT keep my caption animation?
No — SRT and VTT store text and timing only. To keep animation, render the video or export an alpha/green-screen overlay.
Can I upload subtitles to YouTube?
Yes. Download the SRT or VTT and upload it in YouTube Studio under Subtitles for the video.
