Export & Post

Download the video with the subtitles inside it, or post and schedule straight to TikTok from Eliro.

Post More TikToks and Get Watched Longer

Win the Viewers Who Watch on Mute

Most apps play videos with the sound off, so a video without captions is silent when someone first sees it. That is the exact moment they choose to keep watching or scroll away. Captions give them something to read straight away, even in a noisy place.

Captions That Survive Every Platform

TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat cannot load separate subtitle files, so subtitles made that way simply never appear. Eliro puts your captions inside the video itself, so one download plays exactly the same way in every app and on every phone.

Your Own Style, Not the App's Default

TikTok gives you a handful of fonts. Instagram does not let you pick one at all. That is why so much of the feed looks the same. In Eliro you choose the font, color, size and animation yourself, then save that look so every video you post is recognisably yours.

Add Subtitles to TikTok FAQs

What is the fastest way to add subtitles to a TikTok?
Upload the video to Eliro and your subtitles are ready in seconds, already timed to every word. Pick a style, then download or post straight to TikTok.
How is this better than TikTok's built-in auto captions?
You get a look you control. TikTok gives you one plain caption sitting over the middle of your face, while Eliro lets you set the style, font, color and position, and highlights your key words for you.
Will the subtitles show up once I upload to TikTok?
Yes, every time. Your subtitles are part of the video frames themselves, so TikTok plays them exactly as you styled them — and so does every re-share and download after that.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, and it comes with generous free usage, unlimited downloads and no watermark. Paid plans give you more credits, and they work across every tool in Eliro.
Do TikToks export with a watermark?
Never, on any plan. Free accounts export at full quality with no watermark added, so the clip is ready to post the moment it downloads.
What subtitle styles can I choose from?
You get more than 20 to pick from. We rebuilt the caption looks top creators use, so a single click puts that style on your TikTok, animated and highlighted.
How accurate is it on fast talking and background noise?
Accurate to 99%. Quick delivery, strong accents, a noisy room and a phone mic are all handled, which is what keeps a whole batch of clips out of the editor.
What if the AI gets a word wrong?
Just click the word and retype it. Subtitles work like a text document, so your timing stays exactly where it is while you fix a name or a spelling.
What video files can I upload?
MP4, MOV, WEBM and M4V are all supported. Drag your file in and the the subtitles start straight away.
Can I post to TikTok without leaving Eliro?
Yes. Publish the finished clip straight to TikTok, or schedule it for later alongside Instagram, YouTube and Facebook from the same place.
