Burn Subtitles into Video Online — Hardcode Subs Free

Make your subtitles permanent by burning them directly into the video. The MyPDF Video Subtitles tool hardcodes SRT, VTT, or ASS subtitle files into any video — ensuring captions display on every player and platform.

How to Burn Subtitles

1. Upload your video and subtitle file (SRT, VTT, or ASS).
2. Customize font, size, color, and position of the subtitles.
3. Download the video with permanently embedded subtitles.

Practical Tips

• Use SRT for simplicity — it is the most widely supported subtitle format and easiest to create or edit in a text editor.
• Choose a contrasting font color (white text with black outline) for readability against any video background.
• Position subtitles lower third to avoid covering important visual content.

What is the difference between hardcoded and soft subtitles?

Hardcoded (burned-in) subtitles are part of the video image and cannot be turned off. Soft subtitles are separate tracks that viewers can toggle. This tool creates hardcoded subtitles.

Can I create subtitles if I don't have an SRT file?

You'll need to create an SRT file first. Use a simple text editor to write timestamps and text, or use speech-to-text tools to auto-generate them.
