Generate SRT and VTT subtitles from any video
Upload a video, get a timed subtitle file. Edit the text in your browser, translate it, and export SRT or VTT ready for any player or platform.
Subtitles are no longer optional: most social video is watched on mute, accessibility rules increasingly require captions, and subtitled videos simply perform better. Manually timing captions is slow and painful — Axilero generates a complete, accurately timed subtitle file from your video in minutes.
You upload the video file directly — MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and more — with no need to extract the audio first. Transcription runs on Whisper Large-v3 with automatic language detection across 95+ languages.
Upload your video
Video files work directly: MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and common audio formats. Up to 30 minutes per file on the free tier, 20 GB files on Pro.
Review and edit
The transcript opens in a browser editor where you can fix names, brands and jargon before export. Segment timestamps are preserved.
Export SRT or VTT
Download a ready-to-use .srt or .vtt file and drop it into YouTube Studio, Premiere, DaVinci, or any video player.
Audio deleted automatically the moment transcription finishes
Processed exclusively on EU-located servers
Never used to train AI models, never shared
Accurate timing without the tedium
Every segment carries precise start and end times taken from the speech itself, so captions appear when words are actually spoken. Word-level timestamps are available for workflows that need tighter sync.
Edit before you publish
Speech models misread product names, personal names and niche jargon — every tool's captions need a review pass. Axilero's browser editor makes it fast: edit the text like a document while the timing stays intact, then export. No desktop subtitle software required.
Reach viewers in other languages
Transcripts can be translated between 20+ major languages, so one recording can become subtitle files for several markets. The original transcription supports 95+ spoken languages with automatic detection.
A note on YouTube and streaming platforms
Streaming platforms' terms of service forbid programmatic downloading of audio from their sites, so Axilero doesn't rip audio from YouTube or Spotify links. For your own videos you already have the file — upload it directly, then attach the finished subtitle file when you publish.
Frequently asked questions
Which subtitle formats can I export?+
SRT and VTT — the two formats accepted by essentially every player and platform — plus plain text, Word, Markdown and JSON if you need the raw transcript.
Do I need to extract the audio from my video first?+
No. Upload the video file directly — MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and more are supported.
Can I edit the subtitles before exporting?+
Yes. The transcript opens in a browser editor where you can correct names and terminology; segment timing is preserved through your edits.
Can I get subtitles in a different language than the video?+
Yes — transcripts can be translated between 20+ major languages, and you can export a subtitle file of the translation.
How accurate are the generated subtitles?+
We run Whisper Large-v3 on every job: expect 95–98% accuracy on clear speech. A quick review pass in the editor is still recommended before publishing, as with any auto-captioning tool.
Can I subtitle a video from a YouTube link?+
Not from the link — streaming platforms forbid programmatic audio extraction in their terms. Upload your own copy of the video file instead.

GDPR-compliant transcription, by design
Voice recordings are personal data. Axilero processes them only on EU servers, deletes them automatically after transcription, and never trains AI on them.
