Your privacy comes first. To protect your content, uploaded videos are permanently deleted after 7 days, so keep a copy of your original file. Your subtitles (SRT, VTT and TXT) stay available in your account for a full year.

When the subtitle sites let you down

A downloaded subtitle only fits the release it was made for. When none of the search results match your copy, get subtitles made from your own file.

Typical subtitle sites

  • Pop-ups, fake download buttons and risky ads
  • Out of sync when your release, cut or frame rate differs
  • Nothing yet for new, rare or local titles
  • Few languages for anything but the biggest titles

SubtitleVideo

  • Clean, ad-free and private: only you see your files
  • Made from your own file, so every line is timed to it
  • Works for any movie, episode, anime or home video
  • 60+ spoken languages, translation into 80+

How to download subtitles for a movie

Find the right SRT in a minute, load it in your player, and fix it when it does not match.

1. Find the subtitles

  1. Type the movie title with its year, for example Inception (2010). For a series add the episode: The Office S02E01.
  2. Choose your subtitle language and press Search. We search OpenSubtitles and SubDL at the same time.
  3. Pick the result whose release name matches your video file (BluRay, WEB-DL, 1080p, the group name). The closer the match, the better the timing.
  4. Press Download and save the SRT next to your video.

2. Load the SRT in your player

  • VLC: drag the SRT onto the video, or Subtitle → Add Subtitle File.
  • Plex and Kodi: name it like the video plus the language, e.g. Movie (2010).en.srt, in the same folder.
  • MX Player and phones: open the video, then Subtitles → Open and choose the file.
  • Smart TVs and USB sticks: same file name as the video, same folder.
  • YouTube and video editors: upload the SRT as a caption track or import it on the timeline.

Subtitles out of sync?

A subtitle file is timed to one release. If every line is off by the same amount, shift it (in VLC press G or H). If the gap grows during the movie, the frame rate or the cut is different: try another release, or make subtitles from your own file so every line is timed to your copy.

Not in your language?

Download the English SRT and translate it with the free Subtitle Translator: 80+ languages, timestamps kept. For subtitles burned into the picture, use Translate hardcoded subtitles. Want English subtitles for a foreign film? See English subtitles for any video.

Subtitle file formats

SRT is the format almost every subtitle site, player and TV uses, and the one you download here. VTT (WebVTT) is the same idea for web players and HTML5 video; our AI subtitles come as both. ASS/SSA files add fonts and positions (common for anime), and SUB/IDX are picture-based subtitles from DVDs. To fix lines or timing in an SRT or VTT file, open it in the Subtitle Studio and download it again as SRT, VTT or TXT.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find subtitles for a movie or TV show?

Type the title in the search box at the top of this page (for an episode, add it like "S01E02"). We search OpenSubtitles and SubDL at once and you download the SRT for free. If nothing comes up, upload your movie and the AI makes the subtitles for you.

Is the subtitles download free?

Yes. Searching and downloading subtitle files (SRT) from OpenSubtitles and SubDL is free, with no account and no pop-ups. You only pay if you want AI to make new subtitles from your own video file.

What is an SRT file?

SRT (SubRip) is the most common subtitle format: a plain text file with numbered lines, start and end times, and the text to show. Almost every player, smart TV and video site can read it.

How do I add a downloaded SRT file to my movie?

Give the SRT file exactly the same name as the video (for example Movie.2010.1080p.mp4 and Movie.2010.1080p.srt) and keep both in the same folder. VLC, MPC-HC, Plex, Kodi and most TVs then load it automatically. In VLC you can also drag the SRT onto the playing video.

How do I fix subtitles that are a little early or late?

In VLC press G or H to move the subtitles 50 ms earlier or later until they match. If the delay grows during the movie, the file is for a different release (frame rate or cut): download a version whose release name matches your file, or make new subtitles from your file here.

Can I download subtitles for a TV episode?

Yes. Search the show with the season and episode, for example "Breaking Bad S03E05", and pick a result for that episode.

Which subtitle languages can I download?

English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Turkish and many more. Choose the language next to the search box. If your language is missing, download the English SRT and translate it with the free Subtitle Translator.

Why are my downloaded subtitles out of sync?

A subtitle file is timed to one release of the movie. If your copy comes from another release (a different cut, frame rate, intro or ads), every line arrives too early or too late. Pick a result whose release name matches your file name, or upload your file here: subtitles made from your own copy are always in sync.

What if there are no subtitles in my language?

Upload the movie, choose the spoken language and pick your language under "Translate the subtitles into". You get subtitles in your language, timed to your file. You can also translate any SRT you already have with the free Subtitle Translator.

Can I get subtitles for any movie or TV show?

Yes, for any title you have as a file: a new release, an old classic, a TV episode, an anime, a documentary or your own footage. Upload it and the AI writes the subtitles from the audio, so they exist even when no subtitle site has them.

My movie file is very large. What can I upload?

Any video or audio file works. If the movie is several gigabytes, upload only its audio track (MP3, M4A, AAC): it is much smaller, uploads in a fraction of the time and gives exactly the same subtitles.

Will the subtitles be in sync with my copy of the movie?

Yes. They are made from your own file, so every line is timed to your exact version, with no shifting caused by a different release, frame rate or cut.

Which subtitle formats do I get?

SRT and VTT subtitles plus a plain TXT transcript. SRT works in VLC, Plex, Kodi, MX Player, smart TVs, YouTube and every video editor.

Can I get the subtitles in another language?

Pick a translation language in the form, or translate the finished SRT into 80+ languages with the free Subtitle Translator, timestamps kept.

Can it read subtitles that are burned into the video?

Yes. Choose "On-screen text (OCR)" to read text and hardcoded subtitles shown in the picture. It uses 2 minutes of credit per minute of video.

How accurate are the automatic subtitles?

Usually 90% to 100%, depending on the audio. Clear voices with little background noise give the best results; loud music, people talking over each other or strong accents lower it. Always review the subtitles and fix any line that was not transcribed correctly.

Why did my video get no or few subtitles?

Usually one of these: the job is still processing, the language is not supported, the sound is poor, there is a long silence at the start, or several speakers overlap. Check the spoken language you selected and try again, or contact support.

Is it free, and how do I pay?

Verify your email and you get 40 free minutes. After that you buy minutes once, with PayPal or a card, with no subscription. Usage is rounded up to the next full minute.

What happens to my videos?

Your files are private. Uploaded videos are deleted automatically after 7 days; your subtitle files stay in your account for a full year.
