More free video tools
Same quality bar. Still free. Still no upload.
Part of free Instagram tools, free TikTok tools, free YouTube tools, free LinkedIn tools and free X tools.
Your files never leave your device
Free to use, with no account and no watermark. The first run downloads the model files once and your browser caches them; the model then runs on your device, and the file you process is never sent anywhere.
This is not a promise about how carefully we handle your upload. There is no upload. The file you choose is read into memory by your own browser, processed there, and handed back as a download — the tool has no server component and makes no network request with your data. The only download is the model itself, which contains nothing of yours.
- Nothing is stored. We never receive the file, so there is no copy to retain, no retention period to disclose, and nothing to delete on request.
- Nothing is transmitted. No upload endpoint, no analytics payload carrying file contents, no third-party processor.
- You can verify it. Run the tool once so the model is cached, then disconnect from the internet and run it again. It still works, because everything it needs is already on your machine.
- Nothing persists after you close the tab. Files are held in page memory only — not in local storage, not in a cache, not in a database.
A note on wording, because it matters: we do not describe these tools as “encrypted.” Encryption protects data that travels to somebody else's computer. Your file does not travel, so there is nothing to encrypt and nothing to intercept — which is a stronger guarantee than encryption, not a weaker one. The page itself is served over HTTPS like the rest of the site.
This makes the tools safe for material you are contractually barred from uploading to third-party services — client footage under NDA, unreleased campaign assets, anything covered by a confidentiality clause.
How it works
1. Drop video
Drop a video in this tab. Nothing is uploaded to Versely.
2. Transcribe on device (optional)
Optional: click Transcribe on device to run Whisper tiny in the browser (WebGPU when available, WASM otherwise). First run downloads the model into browser cache from Hugging Face.
3. Or drop SRT/VTT
Or drop an SRT/VTT instead. Dropping captions overrides Whisper cues.
4. Style and burn
Pick a style (including karaoke word highlight), preview a still, then burn captions into the clip with MediaRecorder.
Questions
Can I generate captions on device without uploading?
Yes. Transcribe on device runs Whisper tiny in your browser. First run may download model assets from Hugging Face into this browser cache. Your audio is decoded and transcribed locally and never uploaded to Versely. Accuracy is free-tool Whisper tiny, not the paid Caption Studio generator.
What is the Karaoke style?
Four presets: white with black outline, bold yellow with outline, clean white with a soft shadow, and karaoke word highlight. Karaoke draws the full line dim, then the active word bright. Whisper word timings use the same karaoke tags when available.
Is this the same as an AI caption generator?
Not exactly. This free path can run on-device Whisper tiny for basic cues, then hard-burn styles including karaoke. Paid Caption Studio is the higher-accuracy Versely generator with styled looks.
Can viewers turn the captions off?
Not after a hard burn. The text is pixels in the exported video (WebM or MP4, depending on your browser), which is what mute autoplay needs. Soft sidecar tracks are a different file.
Do my video and SRT upload?
No. Both stay in browser memory while the burn runs locally.

These rearrange files. Versely makes new ones.
Everything on this page works on a file you already have, which is why it costs nothing. Generating something that did not exist (video from a prompt, a voice, a score) runs a model, and that costs credits.
