Instagram Subtitle & Caption Generator

Paste the reel, video post, or TV link into the box. The AI listens to the audio, writes out what's said, and splits it into timed lines. You then download the captions as SRT or VTT and add them to your video, or copy them as plain text.

Creating an account is free, but generating Instagram subtitles is a paid feature on the Plus, Pro, and Premium plans. Instagram videos have no captions, so the audio is transcribed with AI, which has a real cost. The Free plan covers YouTube, where captions are available at no cost.

Instagram doesn't provide a caption track, so we transcribe the spoken audio with AI speech-to-text and split it into timed lines. That gives you real subtitles with timecodes even though there are none built into the video.

You can download SRT or VTT, the formats supported by Instagram, YouTube, CapCut, Premiere, and most editors. You can also copy the captions as plain text.

A transcript is the raw text of what was said. Subtitles add timing: each line in an SRT or VTT file has a start and end time so the words appear in sync with the video. This tool creates timed subtitles; if you only need the plain text, use the Instagram transcript tool instead.

The audio is auto-detected and transcribed in 50+ languages, and you can translate the subtitles into 75+ languages.

Yes. The audio is transcribed in its original language, and you can then translate the captions into any of 75+ languages before downloading, so a reel filmed in one language carries subtitles in another.

Yes. Review the text first, then export the SRT or VTT and fine-tune the timing or wording in any subtitle editor.

Yes. The SRT and VTT files are standard subtitle formats, so you can reuse the same captions when you cross-post the video to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or anywhere else that accepts subtitle files.

No. Everything runs in your browser. You paste the Instagram link, and the captions are generated for you, with no extensions, plugins, or screen recording.
