Subtitle Translator Online – Free AI Tool for SRT/VTT

A translated file, the exact same timing as the original

Klipa's subtitle translator translates an SRT or VTT file into another language in seconds: drop the file, pick the target language, get back a translated file in the same format, with the exact same block numbers and start/end times.

Translation that reads context, not a line-by-line copy-paste

The usual shortcut — pasting subtitle text into a general-purpose translator — treats every line on its own and breaks the flow of a dialogue: a line translated in isolation loses the lines around it. Here, the AI receives several lines of dialogue together on each pass, not one isolated line, which helps it keep a natural thread instead of a stack of literally translated sentences.

The translated file opens wherever the original one did

Only the on-screen text changes: each block's number and its start and end times stay identical to the original. The translated file loads straight into YouTube, a video player or an editing tool, with nothing to re-sync.

Short file or whole episode: two ways to translate

A file with a few minutes of dialogue translates right away, for free. A long file — a full episode or a whole movie's worth of subtitles — means far more text to translate: it is processed in the background instead, and unlocking it takes either a one-time Pass or a subscription for unlimited use.

Readable subtitles: line length matters too

A good subtitle translation is not just about meaning: a line that runs too long overflows the screen and becomes unreadable in the few seconds it is shown. The AI translates while keeping the original structure, but some languages naturally run longer than others (German or Russian, for instance) — a quick check of the result before publishing is always a good habit.

How to translate a subtitle file

Step 1

Drop your subtitle file

Upload an SRT or VTT file (5 MB maximum) — no account needed to try it.

Step 2

Choose the target language

Pick the language to translate into, from 30 languages. The source language is optional: leave it blank and the AI detects it from the text.

Step 3

Create a free account and download

The translation preview shows up right away. Downloading the file takes a free account (a few seconds); a long file (a full episode) is processed in the background instead.

When to translate subtitles

Take a YouTube video international

Add a translated subtitle track to a video that is already published, to reach an audience that doesn't speak the original language, without touching the edit.

Make an online course work in several languages

Your learners don't all speak the same language: a translated subtitle file makes the same course understandable to everyone, with no trip back into the editing timeline.

Prepare translated captions for TikTok, Reels or Shorts

Translate the subtitle file, then burn it into the video with the animated subtitles tool to publish in more than one language.

Watch a movie or show in your own language

Found subtitles for a movie or an episode in a language you don't read? Translate the file to watch it in your own, without waiting for an official release.

Translate training videos for international teams

A company or organisation training staff across several countries can translate the subtitles of the same training video for each language, without re-recording it.

Subtitle translator — frequently asked questions

Drop the SRT or VTT file into the tool, choose the target language, then run the translation. The translated file downloads in the same format, with the same timing as the original — no software to install and no separate translation account needed.

Yes. Each block's number and its start and end times stay exactly identical to the original: only the displayed text changes. The translated file remains perfectly in sync with the video, so there is nothing left to re-time or re-import.

30 languages, including English, Spanish, Arabic, German, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and Russian. You don't need to specify the source language: the AI recognises it directly from the text, so you can translate a file even when you're unsure what language it's currently in.

SRT and VTT files. The translation comes back in the same format you uploaded, so it drops straight back into whatever tool or player you took it from. For an ASS or SSA file (common in fansub communities), convert it to SRT first with the subtitle converter, then translate it here.

The AI processes several lines of dialogue together on each pass, not one isolated line: it sees the dialogue around each line and uses it as context. That avoids the "word-for-word" feel of pasting each line into a general-purpose translator on its own.

Yes. A short file translates right away, for free. A long file — the equivalent of a full episode or an entire movie — is processed in the background: unlock that file with a one-time Pass, or move to a subscription for unlimited use.

No — you can upload a file and see the translated preview on screen without creating one. A free account (a few seconds) is only asked for when you download the finished file, mainly to limit abuse on a service that calls on AI at a real cost for every translation.

A file translated without an account is deleted after 48 h. Create a free account when you download and it's kept for 7 days; with a Pro or Studio subscription, 30 days. Nobody else has access to it, and you can re-download it before it's removed.

Yes. Translate the file here first, then load the video and the translated file into the animated subtitles tool to burn them directly into the picture, choosing the font, colour, position and style you want — no separate editing software needed.

This translator only changes the text of an SRT or VTT file that already exists — the video itself isn't touched. To dub a video's voice (translated, re-synced audio), use the video translator instead, built for the audio track, not a subtitle file.
