Use this interactive demo to learn how to generate and upload subtitles to your YouTube video.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to use videotranscriber.ai to automatically generate an SRT subtitle file from a YouTube video URL and upload it directly to YouTube Studio. The entire process — from transcription to publishing captions — takes just a few steps with no sign-up required.


Steps

  1. Go to videotranscriber.ai, paste your YouTube URL, select the language, and click Get Transcribe to generate a transcript.
  2. Export and download the transcript file in SRT format.
  3. Open the downloaded SRT file to verify subtitle formatting, correct any issues, and save it with the .srt extension.
  4. Go to studio.youtube.com, click Subtitles in the left sidebar, select the video you want to caption, and choose the appropriate language.
  5. Click Upload file, select With timing, choose your SRT file, and click Continue to upload.
  6. Review the captions in the YouTube Studio editor and click Publish to make them live.

📌 Why this matters

Adding subtitles to YouTube videos improves accessibility, boosts viewer retention, and increases search engine discoverability. videotranscriber.ai eliminates the need for manual transcription by automatically converting any YouTube video URL into a downloadable SRT subtitle file — free and without sign-up. Creators can go from raw video to published, timed captions in minutes using the seamless YouTube Studio upload workflow. This matters because captioned videos consistently outperform uncaptioned ones in watch time, engagement, and SEO rankings.
