Why TikTok creators
burn captions in.
Retention in the first 3 seconds
TikTok's FYP weights early-watch completion heavily. Word-by-word animated captions hold the eye through the cold open while audio context loads.
Sound-off viewing
75%+ of TikTok views happen with sound off in some contexts (commuters, late-night scroll, schools). Captions are the entire message for that audience.
Remove the watermark for $7.99/mo
Start free with a small AnimateCaptions watermark on exports. Paid plans from $7.99/month remove it — cheaper than Submagic ($19/mo) or Captions.ai ($24.99/mo).
Built for vertical
Captions auto-position to clear the FYP UI (top username, bottom comments). Per-line drag lets you nudge any line off the action.

TikTok captions FAQ.
Is the TikTok caption generator free?
Yes. Free tier includes 32+ caption styles and daily upload + export allowances — no credit card required. Free exports carry a small AnimateCaptions watermark; paid plans from $7.99/month remove it.
Will my TikTok clip have a watermark from your tool?
Free exports include a small AnimateCaptions watermark. Paid plans from $7.99/month remove it — that's cheaper than Submagic ($19/mo) or Captions.ai ($24.99/mo).
What aspect ratio do TikTok videos need?
TikTok recommends 9:16 (1080x1920) for the full-screen experience. Our editor accepts and exports 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 — pick whatever the source clip is.
How long can the TikTok clip be?
Up to 2 minutes per upload. TikTok itself supports much longer clips, but for short-form-first creators 2 minutes covers nearly every use case.
Can I edit transcription mistakes before exporting?
Yes. Every word is editable in-browser — click to correct, eye icon to hide a word, timestamp chip to adjust start/end times, drag any line to reposition.
Does it work for non-English TikTok creators?
Yes — 36+ languages via Deepgram Nova-3 auto-detect. Caption fonts fall back to Cyrillic / Devanagari-capable typefaces for non-Latin scripts.
How does this compare to TikTok's built-in auto-captions?
TikTok's built-in captions are plain white text with no animation, no styling, and no per-word emphasis. Our exports give you Mr Beast / Hormozi / Submagic-quality animation that's been shown to lift retention.
Will burned-in captions look weird on the FYP?
No — most viral TikTok clips have burned-in captions exactly because they hold attention. Position your caption lines to clear the FYP overlays (top profile, bottom comments) and you're set.
