Auto captions

Automatic captions for your Shorts, Reels and TikToks

Many short videos are watched with the sound off. Without captions, those viewers see someone talking and scroll past. Adding captions by hand means transcribing, timing every line and styling it — for every clip.

ClipIQ captions every clip it makes, automatically. It transcribes your full video, cuts the best moments into vertical clips, and burns the captions in, timed to the speech.

How automatic captions work in ClipIQ

  1. 1

    Add a video

    Upload a file or paste a public YouTube link. Pick a caption style and size before you start if you like.

  2. 2

    ClipIQ transcribes and clips

    The whole video is transcribed, and the best moments are cut into vertical clips with captions timed to what’s said.

  3. 3

    Download captioned clips

    Each clip comes with captions burned in, plus an SRT file if you want the captions separately.

Caption styles

  • Classic captions on every plan: clean, readable captions burned into the clip.
  • Animated word-by-word styles on Creator and Pro — karaoke, pill, pop and more — that highlight each word as it’s spoken, the look popular on Shorts and TikTok.
  • SRT download on every clip, for platforms or editors where you’d rather upload captions as a separate file.

Why burned-in captions

Burned-in captions are part of the video itself, so they show up everywhere the clip is posted — TikTok, Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn, X — in the same style, without relying on each app’s own caption tools.

Captions also make your clips accessible to viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, and easier to follow for anyone watching in a noisy place.

More than captions

ClipIQ isn’t only a captioning tool: it also picks the moments worth posting from a long video, cuts them to 20 seconds to about two minutes, and reframes them to vertical around the speaker. Captions come with every clip it makes.

The free plan gives you 3 videos a day and 5 clips per video, with 500 credits (500 minutes of video) to start and 30 more every week — no credit card.

Creator (₹249/week) and Pro (₹599/week) remove the watermark, allow unlimited videos and up to 15 or 25 clips per video, and add animated captions.

Frequently asked questions

Are captions included on the free plan?

Yes. Every clip is captioned on every plan. Animated word-by-word styles are on Creator and Pro.

Can I get the captions as a file?

Yes. Each clip has an SRT file you can download alongside the video.

Can I caption a video I’ve already edited?

ClipIQ captions the clips it makes from your video, rather than captioning a finished video as-is. Upload the long version and it will cut, reframe and caption the clips for you.

How accurate are the captions?

They come from an automatic transcript, so clear speech gives the best results. Background noise, heavy crosstalk or unusual names can cause mistakes, as with any automatic captioning.
