Burn captions into a clip, starting from MKV video — here in this tab, with nothing uploaded.

How to add subtitles to video (MKV)

  1. Drop your MKV file in.
  2. Set how they should look.
  3. Save the captioned clip.

Why this one stays private

Subtitles usually contain every word said in the video, written down. That is a transcript — not something to hand to a free website.

Questions

Does this work with MKV files?

Yes — that is what this page is set up for. MKV is the archivist's container: it holds anything, but few devices play it directly.

Which subtitle files work?

SRT and VTT, the two you are most likely to already have.

Burned in or a separate track?

Burned in means they always show and cannot be turned off. A separate track can be switched off but only works in players that look for it.
