Caption your video free, preview the exact result, then export with no watermark from $7.99/month — the cheapest way to get a clean, full-resolution MP4.
To export captions without a watermark, you'll need a paid plan on most caption tools. AnimateCaptions is the cheapest: caption your video free, then remove the watermark from $7.99/month — versus $19/mo (Submagic) or $24.99/mo (Captions.ai). You upload, auto-caption, pick a style, and export a clean, full-resolution MP4.
How to export captions with no watermark.
Caption free, preview, then export clean for the lowest price.
- 01
Caption your video for free
Drag an .mp4 or .mov into the browser, let Deepgram Nova-3 auto-transcribe the audio in 36+ languages, then pick from 32+ animated caption styles. No credit card to start, and the free tier handles clips up to 2 minutes and 500 MB.
- 02
Preview in the editor
Click any word to fix a transcript typo, drag lines to reposition them, and tweak font, colour, and size. The browser preview matches the final export exactly, so you can confirm the look before paying anything.
- 03
Upgrade to remove the watermark
Free exports carry a small AnimateCaptions watermark. To export a clean video, switch to a paid plan from $7.99/month — that is cheaper than Submagic ($19/mo) or Captions.ai ($24.99/mo), and it lifts the watermark from every export.

Captions without a watermark — FAQ.
Can I add captions without a watermark for free?
On almost every quality caption tool, no — free exports include a watermark. AnimateCaptions is the same: the free tier carries a small AnimateCaptions watermark. The difference is the price to remove it. AnimateCaptions lifts the watermark from $7.99/month, which is the cheapest option around. So you can caption and preview free, then pay a small amount only when you want a clean export.
Why do caption tools watermark free exports?
Transcription and server-side rendering cost real money on every export, so caption tools watermark the free tier to cover that cost and to credit the tool. It is the standard model across the industry — Submagic, Captions.ai, and most others all watermark free output and charge to remove it.
What's the cheapest way to remove the caption watermark?
AnimateCaptions, at $7.99/month. You caption and preview your video free, then upgrade to export with no watermark. It is the lowest-cost watermark-free option we know of — well under what comparable tools charge.
Will the export lose quality?
No. AnimateCaptions renders with Remotion at full resolution, so the watermark-free export comes back at the same dimensions and quality as your upload. There is no downscaling and no compression penalty for going watermark-free.
What do competitors charge to remove the watermark?
Submagic starts at $19/month and Captions.ai at $24.99/month to export without a watermark. AnimateCaptions removes it from $7.99/month, so you get clean, full-resolution captioned video for less than half the price of either.
Are the captions burned into the video?
Yes. The export is a standard MP4 with the captions rendered directly into the frames, so they display on every platform without uploading a separate subtitle file — and on a paid plan, with no watermark over them.
