Subtitle / SRT Maker
100% Free No sign-up No login No paywall
Subtitle / SRT Maker turns your text into a proper SRT subtitle file you can use in any video editor or upload to YouTube. Write one subtitle line per line, set how many seconds each line shows and when the first line starts, and press “Create SRT”. The tool builds the full SRT with correct timecodes and lets you download it as subtitles.srt. Everything runs in your browser — free, no key, no sign-up. Subtitles do more than translate: most viewers watch videos on mute, and captions are what keep them watching. YouTube, Instagram and TikTok all read SRT files, and many editors import them directly, so a well-timed subtitle file works across every platform you publish on. This maker keeps the format simple — one line, one time slot, correct numbering — so the file it builds opens cleanly in any player or editor without fixing.
How to use Subtitle / SRT Maker
- Write one subtitle line per line in the box.
- Set how many seconds each line should show.
- Set the start time in seconds.
- Press “Create SRT”, check the result, then “Download SRT”.
- Play your video while you read the timings, and nudge the start time until the first line lands on the first word.
Worked example
Example: lines “Welcome to my channel”, “Today we learn AI tools”, “Let's start”, 4 seconds per line, start at 0. The maker returns a valid SRT: 1) 00:00:00,000 → 00:00:04,000 “Welcome to my channel”, and so on — ready to upload to YouTube.
Tips for better results
- Keep each line under 42 characters so it fits on screen.
- 4 seconds per line is a good default for narration.
- One idea per subtitle line — viewers read while they watch.
- Check the timing against your video before uploading.
- Break long sentences into two short lines — a subtitle that fills the screen is hard to read while watching.
