Auto-caption your Shorts, Reels, and TikToks

Most short-form video is watched on mute, so captions are not decoration - they are the difference between a view and a swipe. ClipAI burns animated, word-timed captions into every clip it cuts, and unlike a captions-only tool, it also finds the clips and schedules the posts.

How it works

  1. 01

    Upload or import

    Bring a finished clip or a full-length video - captions are part of every render.

  2. 02

    Pick a caption style

    Animated word-by-word styles with custom fonts, colors, and positioning.

  3. 03

    Render and schedule

    Schedule straight to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, and Bluesky from one calendar (X coming soon).

What you get

Word-level timing

Captions highlight word by word from the transcript's word timestamps, not line by line.

Caption translation

Render the same clip with captions translated into another language for a second audience.

More than captions

Clip detection, virality scoring, A/B variants, and scheduling live in the same flat $19/mo plan - no per-feature upsells.

Style variants to test

Render one moment in several caption styles and let real view counts pick the winner.

Questions

Are the captions accurate?

Captions come from a Whisper-class transcription model with word-level timestamps. You can review the clip before posting, and low-confidence audio is the exception rather than the rule for spoken video.

Can I match captions to my brand?

Yes - fonts, colors, size, and position are configurable per caption style, and your logo can be overlaid on renders.

Why use ClipAI over a captions-only app?

Because captioning is one step of the job. ClipAI also finds the best moments, scores them, reframes to 9:16, schedules to six platforms, and reports back which clips actually earned views.

How do I add auto captions to my Shorts and Reels?

Upload or import the video and ClipAI burns animated, word-timed auto captions into every clip it renders - there is no separate captioning step. You pick the style (font, color, position), and the same flat $19/mo plan also finds the clips, reframes to 9:16, and schedules the posts.
