Add Subtitles to YouTube Videos
On YouTube, your captions work like a second title: search reads them, viewers rely on them, and international audiences depend on them. Eliro transcribes your video — a 20-minute tutorial or a 30-second Short — keeps the sync locked across the full runtime, and exports clean files that look right on a monetized channel.
Captions That Work as Hard as Your Thumbnail
For YouTube, subtitles are retention, accessibility, and search — all in one layer of text
Text Search Engines Can Read
Caption text tells YouTube and Google exactly what your video covers, helping it surface for queries your title alone would never match.
No Drift on Long Videos
Sync stays locked from minute one to minute forty. Tutorials, podcasts, and deep dives come out timed correctly the whole way through.
Long-Form and Shorts, Same Tool
Subtitles are positioned for 16:9 uploads and repositioned for 9:16 Shorts automatically — one workflow for your whole channel.
Clean Output for Monetized Channels
No watermarks, no branding, nothing that looks out of place next to a mid-roll ad. Your video stays entirely yours.
How YouTube Captioning Works in Eliro
Upload Your Final Edit
Bring in the export from your editor — any length, any common format, long-form or Short.
AI Transcribes the Full Runtime
Audio is processed in parallel, so even a long video is transcribed and time-synced in minutes, technical vocabulary included.
Style and Export for Upload
Match the captions to your channel's look, review the transcript, and download a YouTube-ready file with subtitles embedded.
Turn Captions into a Channel Asset
A Transcript You Can Actually Fix
Long videos mean more chances for a misheard product name or acronym. The transcript editor lets you correct any word in place — timing untouched — before the video ever goes live.
Open Your Back Catalog to the World
A big share of YouTube watch time comes from outside your home country. Translate your subtitles into 50+ languages and let older uploads find entirely new audiences.
Build the Rest of the Upload Here Too
Captions are one piece of a YouTube workflow. These tools handle the others.
AI B-Roll Generation
Cutaways generated from your script keep long talking-head sections watchable.
Remove Filler Words
Tighten a 20-minute recording before captioning — fewer "ums," better retention graph.
Background Music
A copyright-safe music bed, auto-ducked under narration, with no Content ID surprises.
Auto Zoom & Pan
Punch-ins at key moments add movement to single-camera videos.
Publish & Schedule
Schedule the upload to YouTube — and cross-post Shorts to TikTok and Reels.
