# Add Subtitles to Video

> To add subtitles to a video automatically, upload it to Kenerate's subtitles tool: it transcribes the speech and burns the captions into the video. Pick one of 10 styles — Simple, Plain, Glass, Whisper, Glide Pop, Fusion, Terminal, Lowkey, Rizz and Vegas — a position (top, middle or bottom), a shadow (off to max) and 720p or 1080p output. The spoken language can be auto-detected or pinned to one of 10 languages (US or Indian English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, Russian). Clips run up to 4 minutes, and the tool works with the 25 free sign-up credits. It's powered by VEED.

## In depth

### Burned-in vs closed captions
Burned-in (open) captions are part of the picture, so they show on every platform and autoplay feed — ideal for social clips watched on mute. Closed captions are a separate file viewers can switch on; YouTube and most players support them.

### Picking a style
Bold, high-contrast styles like Glide Pop and Rizz grab attention in feeds; Simple and Plain suit tutorials and interviews; Glass and Whisper sit lightly over cinematic footage.
