Translate any video into 30+ languages. We transcribe the speech, translate it, and burn the subtitles in, or give you an SRT. Seed page for per-language pages.
Free for recordings up to 1 hour and 1 GB. Longer files need a paid plan.
How It Works
Drop the audio or video you want translated.
The speech is transcribed with timings, then every line is translated into English, keeping the timings.
Download the SRT or VTT, or copy the text — the original-language file comes with it.
The Video Translator is a free online tool from ShortsHero: upload a video, get translated captions burned in. The speech is transcribed by AssemblyAI, then every line is translated with its timings kept — usually under a minute for a 5-minute file. It is free for files up to 1 hour; longer recordings need a paid plan.
Free transcription covers files up to 1 hour. If your recording is longer, a paid plan lifts the limit — or trim it into parts and run each one.
Why Use This Tool

MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC and most other audio and video formats, up to 1 GB. For a long video, uploading just the audio is faster.
Yes. The speech is transcribed into timed lines first, and each line is translated on its own, so the English subtitles appear exactly when the words are spoken.
Usually well under the length of the recording — a 10-minute file is typically done in about a minute.
ShortsHero turns long videos into short vertical clips with AI moment detection, face tracking and animated captions — and has free tools for subtitles, transcripts and video formats.
The same transcription powers ShortsHero's clip maker: it finds the strongest moments, reframes them to vertical and adds word-by-word captions in 36 styles.
