Add Text to Video

Put trendy, reels-style text on your videos — bold titles, caption pills, neon and more. Drag to position, time each text, and export with the text burned in. It all happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Why use this video text editor?

100% private

Your video is edited entirely in your browser with ffmpeg.wasm — it's never uploaded, stored or watermarked.

Trendy text styles

Reels-ready presets: bold impact text, Instagram-style background pills, neon glow, gradients, captions and script.

Multiple text layers

Add as many text layers as you like. Drag each one anywhere on the frame and style it independently.

Timed like reels

Give every text its own start and end time, so captions appear and disappear exactly when you want.

Colors & sizes

Pick any color, scale the text from subtle captions to full-screen titles, and stack multiple lines.

Free, no sign-up

No account, no watermark, no limits. The text is burned into the video so it plays everywhere.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add text to a video online?+

Load your video, press ‘Add text’, type your caption and drag it anywhere on the frame. Pick a style preset, color and size, set the start and end time, then press ‘Export video with text’ and download the result. Everything runs in your browser.

Is my video uploaded to a server?+

No. The whole editor — preview and export — runs locally in your browser using ffmpeg.wasm. Your video never leaves your device.

Can I make text appear and disappear at certain times?+

Yes. Every text layer is a bar on a video-editor style timeline — drag it to move it, drag its edges to resize it, or type exact times down to the millisecond. Edges snap to neighbouring layers automatically, so captions can follow each other seamlessly.

What text styles are available?+

Six trendy presets: Bold (impact-style with outline), Pill (Instagram-reels background), Neon (glowing text), Gradient, Caption (mono on a dark bar), and Script (handwritten look). Each can be recolored and resized.

Does the exported video have a watermark?+

No. The output is your video with only your text burned in — no watermark, no branding, and no sign-up required.

Can I add more than one text?+

Yes. Add as many layers as you like — each has its own text, style, position, color, size and timing.

Will the text show on every player and platform?+

Yes. The text is rendered into the video frames (hard-coded), so it shows everywhere — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, WhatsApp or any video player.

Why does the export take a while?+

Burning text in means re-encoding the video with H.264 on your own device. The first export also downloads the ~30 MB engine (cached afterwards). Longer or higher-resolution videos take longer.
