About this tool
Burning text into a video is the most permanent way to caption or label footage. Unlike a separate subtitle track that relies on the player to render it, burned-in text is part of the pixel data and appears everywhere — in downloaded files, in screenshots, on devices that do not handle embedded subtitle tracks. For title cards, attribution, and simple captions it is also significantly simpler to implement and share.
The trade-off is permanence: there is no "turn subtitles off" for burned-in text. For professional video production where accessibility and multi-language support matter, a proper subtitle workflow with SRT files is the right approach. For personal projects, social clips, and simple labels, burning in text is perfectly practical.
