Add Subtitles to MP4

1. Upload your MP4 to VEED’s online subtitle editor.
2. Auto-generate subtitles from the audio or upload an existing SRT or VTT file.
3. Edit the subtitle text and timing, customize the style, and export a merged file with subtitles hardcoded directly into the video.

The result is a single MP4 where captions are always visible. No separate subtitle file required.

• Hardcoded subtitles are burned directly into the video file. They are always visible, regardless of the device, media player, or platform. For social media posting, hardcoded subtitles are the reliable choice.
• Soft subtitles are stored as a separate file, like an SRT, that a media player loads alongside the video. Viewers can toggle them on or off, but they won't appear if the player doesn't support them or if the file gets separated from the video.

VEED lets you do both: permanently add subtitles to video, or download your subtitles as a separate SRT file.

VEED’s online subtitle editor is the simplest method. No software downloads or installs required. Upload your MP4, add an SRT file or auto-generate subtitles, and export with subtitles hardcoded into the video. The subtitle editor works on Mac, Windows, and any device with a modern browser.

Most online subtitle editors support SRT and VTT files for upload. SRT is the most widely used format and works across all major platforms. If you don’t have a subtitle file at all, you can use our auto-subtitle generator to create subtitles.
