Add Text to Video Online — Titles, Captions & Labels
Add text to a video online: type a line, choose where and how it appears, and it’s burned permanently into the picture. Because the text becomes part of the video itself, it shows up everywhere the video plays — no captions to enable, no separate subtitle file to lose.
You control the essentials: size (from small caption to full title), position anywhere in the frame, color, an outline stroke for readability over busy footage, and an optional background pill behind the text. A timing window lets the text appear only during part of the clip — perfect for a title that fades in at the start or a label over one scene.
How to add text to a video
- Upload your video and type your text — up to 300 characters on one line.
- Style and place it — size, position, color, stroke, background, and optionally when it appears.
- Download the MP4 with the text burned in.
What people add
- Titles and hooks at the top of short-form clips

FAQ
How do I put text on a video for free? Upload the clip, type the line, pick a position, and download. The default places clean bottom-center text.
Can the text appear only for part of the video? Yes — set a start and end time and the text is visible only during that window.
Will the text work on every platform? Yes — it’s burned into the frames, so it displays identically wherever the video plays.
