More free subtitles tools
Same quality bar. Still free. Still no upload.
Your files never leave your device
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 the file
A video or a voice memo, up to 10 minutes. It is read in this tab only.
2. Get the transcript
Whisper tiny transcribes on your device (WebGPU when available, WebAssembly otherwise). The first run downloads the model once.
3. Copy or download
Copy the text, download a TXT, or turn on timestamps to mark where each paragraph starts. An SRT is there too if you need captions after all.
Questions
Is the video to text converter free?
Yes. No account, no watermark, no minutes to buy. It runs on your device, so it costs nothing to serve. Each file can be up to 10 minutes long.
Does my file get uploaded?
No. The audio is decoded and transcribed inside your browser. Only the open speech model is downloaded, once, on the first run.
How good is the transcript?
Clear single-speaker speech comes out close to clean. Background music, several people talking at once, strong accents and brand names need a read-through. It does not label who is speaking.
Can I get timestamps?
Yes. Tick Timestamps and each paragraph starts with the time it begins. For a timestamp on every line, download the SRT.
Does it work on audio files and voice notes?
Yes. MP3, WAV and M4A work the same way as video, including voice memos from a phone.

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.
