Subtitles, made simple.
Simple Subs turns a video into clean, properly timed subtitles without you touching a single timecode, using a combination of Artificial Intelligence, computer code, and our 30 years of experience in subtitling. Upload a file, tell us the language, and a finished subtitle file lands in your inbox — ready to drop straight into your edit, your player, or your delivery package.
It was built inside a working documentary house, not a lab, so it handles the real-world mess: background noise, overlapping speech, on-screen foreign dialogue and the formatting rules that broadcasters and streamers actually enforce. No software to install, no account to keep, no learning curve.
INT. EDITING SUITE — 11:47 PM
A timeline crammed with caption lines. Cold coffee. A deadline glowing on the second monitor. CHARACTER ONE slumps back; CHARACTER TWO leans in the doorway.
CHARACTER ONE
Film's locked hours ago. I'm still here.
CHARACTER TWO
Why?
CHARACTER ONE
Subtitles. Transcripts. And the foreign-language versions the distributor wants by Monday. All by hand.
CHARACTER TWO
(stepping in)
You're still doing that by hand?
CHARACTER ONE
You know another way?
CHARACTER TWO
Simple Subs. You upload the file — it comes back timed, clean and ready to deliver. No timecodes to wrestle.
CHARACTER ONE
(sitting up)
Subtitles and transcripts both?
CHARACTER TWO
And translations, for any market you're selling into. Back in good time.
CHARACTER ONE
(beat)
…So I could've gone home.
CHARACTER TWO
Tomorrow you will.
Choose one of the three tools:
Drag your video, audio or subtitle file onto the upload box, or click to browse for it. You'll see the file name appear once it's ready. Then tell us the spoken language (or the language you want to translate into) and enter the email address where the result should be sent.
The price shown is the full, one-off cost — it's worked out from the length of your file, so there are no surprises and no subscription. Pay securely by card. You don't need to create an account.
We do the work in the background — most jobs finish in a few minutes. When it's done, your finished file arrives by email as a download link. Open it in your editing software or media player and you're done.
New to this? An SRT is just a small text file that tells a video player what words to show on screen and exactly when. It works with almost every editor and player — including YouTube, VLC, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. Your original video is never changed, and your uploaded files are deleted after delivery.
