About Subtitle Burner
The Subtitle Burner permanently embeds SRT subtitles into a video file, writing the text into every frame so it cannot be turned off or lost. Video editors use it for platforms without subtitle track support, teachers add translated captions for students, and creators make content accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. Upload a video and its matching SRT file, select the correct character encoding, style the font, size, color, and outline, position the text, and preview the first 10 seconds before burning. The entire process runs in your browser: your video and subtitle files are processed on your own device and are never uploaded to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do my video and subtitle files go?
They stay on your device. The burning process runs entirely in your browser, so neither file is uploaded to a server, and the finished video downloads straight to you.
Which video and subtitle formats are supported?
The tool accepts MP4, AVI, MOV, and WebM videos together with SRT subtitle files. If your subtitles appear as gibberish, switching the encoding to Windows-1252 usually fixes it.
Can I burn subtitles for free?
Yes, the Subtitle Burner is completely free and requires no signup or account. You can subtitle as many videos as you need without any charge.
