Free online subtitle editor. No watermark, no file storage.

Burn captions into any MP4 video. No bloat. No data stored.

Most subtitle editors either watermark your output, store your footage, or make you fight a bad AI transcript. SubForge auto-generates captions with Whisper AI, lets you fix every subtitle, and burns them permanently into your MP4 and then deletes everything.

Upload a video and move straight into caption generation without a bloated workflow.

Fix what AI gets wrong

Edit wording, timing, and grouping before you commit the final render.

Style it your way

Choose from curated fonts, clean presets, and exact on-screen subtitle placement.

Render. Download. Gone.

Burn subtitles into the final MP4, download it, and retain nothing on the server.
