Add Text to Video
Put text on video right here in your browser: type it, drag it where you want it, choose when it shows, and download the MP4. Up to 6 texts per video, TikTok-style labels, 9:16 for Reels and Shorts. Free, no signup, no watermark.
How to Add Text to a Video
1. Upload Your Video
Drop in an MP4, MOV, WebM or GIF up to 100 MB, from your computer or your phone's camera roll.
2. Type, Place and Time Your Text
Write your text, drag it anywhere on the live preview, pick a style and color, and set the second it appears and disappears. Add up to 6 texts.
3. Download the MP4
Click Add text to video and download your video with the text burned in, sound included, ready for TikTok, Reels, Shorts or YouTube.
Everything You Need to Put Text on Video
Simple enough for one quick caption, flexible enough for a whole sequence of lines.
Text at the Right Second
Write text on video exactly when it matters: each text has its own start and end time, set with one click from the preview's playhead.
Several Texts per Video
A hook at the top, a title in the middle, a call to action at the end: insert up to 6 texts in one video, each with its own look.
Drag to Place
Move every text by dragging it on the preview, or snap it to the top, middle or bottom. What you see is exactly what you download.
Any Shape
Keep your video's shape or switch to 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9. On a reshaped video you can put text on the bars around the clip too.
Sound Kept, No Watermark
The MP4 keeps your video's original sound (or mute it), and nothing is added except your text.
Private by Default
Your video is deleted from our server as soon as the new one is ready. No account, no library, no tracking of your files.
Four Text Styles
The looks social videos actually use, in white, black, yellow, red, blue, pink or green.
Outline
Bold text with a thin contrasting outline, readable on any footage. The classic caption look.
Label
Text on a rounded colored label, like TikTok's own text tool. Great for "POV:" lines and hooks at the top of the frame.
Box
Text on a dark see-through box, like subtitles or a lower third. Good for long lines and busy backgrounds.
Shadow
Clean text with a soft drop shadow for titles and quotes that should feel calm rather than loud.
