More free subtitle tools
Same quality bar. Still free. Still no upload.
Your files never leave your device
Free to use, with no account, no usage limit and no watermark, because the work runs on your device rather than on our servers.
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.
- 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. Load this page, disconnect from the internet, and use the tool. 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 SRT or VTT
Open the track that no longer matches the picture.
2. Set the offset
Enter a millisecond shift forward or back until speech and cues line up.
3. Download the fixed track
Export the corrected file and burn or upload it with the cut.
Questions
What does a free subtitle timing shifter do?
It adds or subtracts the same millisecond offset from every cue in an SRT or VTT so a drifted track matches the picture again.
When should I re-transcribe instead of shifting?
When cuts were inserted or removed mid-clip. A global offset cannot fix local gaps. Re-transcribe or split the track at the edit.
Is the file uploaded?
No. Offsets are applied in the browser.

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.
